Comments Thread For: Canelo Stamps His Legacy With Undisputed Super Middleweight Crown

[budfr]

plant has never fought anyone worth a damn, canelo fans have low standards if they think that makes him p4p number 1, start fighting top fighters not this useless bunch at 168

Plant was the champ, not Canelo´s fault. Canelo has fought the best unlike the bums you like. Hey why not Canelo in the heavyweight division??? None of your favorite fighters goes up in weight and wins, including GGG, you are simply a hater and a clown.

Great analyisis of the fight this time....

Canelo is proving to be the best boxer since Floyd retired. He is the clear lead for FOTY.

Crawford had a shot but he stopped fighting quality guys once he signed the top rank deal. He’d have to beat Spence and unify at 154 but I don’t think he can surpass Canelo.

Inoue still has a chance to get to where Canelo is if he keeps moving up and beating the top guys. But I doubt someone his size will be seen as the best in a generation. He could win a FOTD over Canelo.

Usyk If he beats AJ again and then Beat Fury and wilder he’d have cleaned out and unified the top 2 divisions would earn a ton of respect.

He is beating guys in the prime and unifying divisions Floyd didn't do that.

He beats one more top guy in their prime and he will usurp Floyd all time

Lets not get things twisted... this Super Middleweight division we have in today's day and age is INCREDIBLY weaker than those in past times. That crook PED utilizing manager of Canelo's, Reynoso knows this and hence guided Canelo accordingly to first clean up the weak champions there when everybody knows he should've stuck around at light heavyweight after beating Kovalev.

Look at the times of the Super Six tournament - you had the likes of Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Jermain Taylor, Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, Dirrel etc all clashing to become unified at SM. Now you've got the likes of John Ryder ( who actually beat Callum Smith but was robbed) a Billy Joe Saunders who doesn't live the life in between fights and a whole heap of average fighters like Rosado, Truax, José Uzcátegui. The only decent threat remains David Benevidez - but Reynoso is not ******, he will not agree to that fight for Canelo and if he does... make no mistake there will be foul play involved - it could be Mexican meat it could be green tea who knows.

It is a very ordinary accomplishment from Alvarez it is not some spectacular feat in becoming undisputed at SM. I mean he can't even truly claim to be undisputed champion because he didn't defeat another champion for the WBC title, it was essentially gifted to him by that Mexican crook Mauricio Sulaiman!

Some legacy. Running from the competitive 154 and 160 for the weak 168 division. Now eyeing the weak 175 division. His legacy means squat if he doesn't fight Andrade, Charlo or Benavidez.

Beating a guy with only 21 pro fights is not legacy worthy.

Or Bivol at 175. Canelo fans are hyping him up to be the best fighter but he's fighting people everyone expects him to beat. The guy is good but to be considered as one of the best in this generation, he has to fight these four guys and not Plant, Saunders, Yildirim, Smith, and an old Kovalev. He would not have even considered Kovalev in his prime, just like he won't touch Bivol now. Based on his last 5 fights, he seems to be taking the safe route. One can't be considered the best fighting opponents he's expected to beat.

175 with Bivol and Beterbiev is much better competition for Canelo than guys you mention. Andrade is garbage, Charlo is not much better ( the last time he was seen struggling with nobody) , Benavidez is barely tested.

Actually it is his fault. He ran from 154 and 160 for easy pickings. Legacy my ass.
