Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo 'Sickly' Wants Beterbiev at 175; Never Going Back to 160

The fight with Cotto was allowed to proceed. GGG stepped aside and was supposed to fight the winner. Canelo got cold feet. All of the sudden there were multiple excuses.

Canelo was literally sitting in a courtroom. That's not an excuse that's a fact.

So he didn't have any fights between Cotto and GGG? I'm counting 3. How did he fight those 3 fights while sitting in a courtroom? Those are some funny "facts" you have.

Canelo/Beterbiev would be fire

You said Canelo dropped the belt rather than fight Golovkin.

I'm explaining to you why he dropped the belt.

He is on record saying that the WBC would not dictate to him who he would fight next. If you want to believe it was about pending litigation, feel free. There are any number of excuses he used at that time.

He's def one of the better fighters of all time if he beat Betribiev-

I think that's a dangerous fight for Canelo

[wrecksracer]

or he was not ready yet, like how Pacquiao waited until Dela Hoya and Hatton was old and washed up before he fought them

Pac waited for De La Hoya? Oscar was the A side. Pac moved from 135 to 147 to make the fight. He was the underdog. Nobody was saying Oscar was washed until after the fight. Pac vs Hatton was Manny's first fight at 140.

And old and washed up Dela Hoya moved back down to 147. He hasn’t fought at 147 since 2001. Pacquiao weight drained and dehydrated Oscar. The same way he weight drained and dehydrated Cotto and Margarito.

Wouldn’t put it past Canelo to dominate at 175. Bivol first as it’s easy to make and very winnable fight. Make him favourite over Smith Jr. Only real challenge would be beterbiev, I’d love Canelo to fight them in the order just wrote as it gives us a MEGA FIGHT at Light Heavyweight. Would be a breath of fresh air. In a somewhat neglected division.

Stylistically Bivol is all wrong fight for pednelo. This is why they will never fight him and avoid like the plague. Bivol is young, has great power, very skilfull with perfect stamina, he throws a lot and very accurate. Forget about that fight.
the only reason they started talking about Beterbiev to get attention from Plant. However after pednelo best plant he may consider fight Beterbiev as he is old enough and obviously past his prime. This is pednelos team strategy. Mark my words
