Comments Thread For: Canelo: My Body Needs Rest; I Need To Recover; Probably Gonna Be May When I Come Back

Anyone that wants to criticise Canelo can go EAD! Man just unified the whole division in one year against all good undefeated champions with a tune up in between. Crawford, inoue, spence all inactive. Plant, smith and Saunders would all probably beat charlo and give benevidez a good fight. Next must be beterbiev for history

Well deserved the man is on an all time great run.

The biggest joke of a run of all time. Canelo is a fraud. You call Callum Smith , Avni Yildirim , BJ Saunders and Plant a " hell of a run " . I call it the biggest b.s. story in the history of boxing.

————-

Before settling on the 168 division, Canelo’s career was decent if not good enough to get him in the HoF. He moves to 168 & fights all the belt holders in 11 months and beats all of them. Every single one of them.
Canelo did not put those guys there. They all got their on their own and were belt holders. The sport of boxing is about beating belt holders aka world champions and fighting the top guys in whatever division one chooses to AND Canelo has done EXACTLY that at 168. These are facts.

Two, no boxer in recent memory has unified a division in 11 months. Canelo has done that.
Other than the obvious toxic hate you have for the guy, how in the world can you make such spurious claims.
FYI, last night I was rooting for Plant. I thought he had the skills to offset Canelo’s style. He was game but the better guy won.

It’s truly incredible to read the kind of shït people like you write in a sport so harsh where people’s job is to hurt each other.

You come to this site to trash someone. That’s what petty fragile gossip mongers do.

Well done Canelo, in joining Josh Taylor to become the only 2 current undisputed champions in world boxing. You deserve the rest amigo.

Andrade and Charlo are fighting no bodies and dont even want to unify the titles or move up to 168

[Baba K]

He can rest up, he's unified...but Benavidez is legit & never lost his titles in the ring. He should get the next shot in my opinion

[ShoulderRoll]

It was good to see a lead up, a promotion, and an all around reintroducing of Canelo to the broader American sports fandom. Hope he continues his relationship with Showtime, PBC, Espinosa, and Haymon.

How about cheerleading for him to be in the best fights possible, instead of cheerleading networks and promoters?

[moochi]

Well done and enjoy your rest and re-cycle of PEDs.

Yeah.

Canelo is going to rest until May, lets see if any of his potential opponents take any risks in the meantime or if they all stay fighting bums while they wait for his return.

I'm curious who has the best chance to beat Canelo right now. Great career so far, a few asterisks but most fighters do. Legend
