Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez - WBC Approves Request To Next Challenge Makabu For Cruiserweight Title

Yeah, he wants to make history, that's his prerogative. But naturally a lot of people will be very disappointed in this. Look at Ilunga's dimensions: 6 foot, 74 inch reach, 34 years. Hasn't fought since 2020. I think this type of move will turn a lot of people off Canelo at least in the short term. People know who they want to see him fight.

Floyd cherry picked for 99% of his fights and also made sure he picked his gloves officials ring etc.

Can you imagine Floyd giving an opponent the ring size he wanted?? Hahahahaha Floyd would suck them off before doing that.

Floyd is laughing at CanDuck-eo

Hopefully so Usyk can get him put of the ring for good.

Only fools praise all of this cherrypicking.
Canelo and his people are taking you all for a ride with all of these fixed fights. Usyk won't sell himself.

I think Canelo ***** slaps Usyk and makes him retreat away with his ghay rave dance moves. Lol

Wow this would be an great fight. Makabu is incredibly powerful & would pose more than a threat to canelo. Anyone calling this a cherry pick knows **** all about boxing. Just because you've never heard of Makabu or have not watched him fight, does not mean he's a trash opponent.

Impressive challenge. I don't think this is a situation of either/or. Canelo can be taking on great challenges and seeking out winnable fights. He was a junior middleweight not too long ago, fighting almost any 200lb title holder is a serious challenge. Would Breidis or Okolie be a bigger threat? Probably, but Makabu is still a solid champ (and 200lbs!). As good as ODLH was, we all saw how he performed at 160 against Felix Sturm. Moving up in weight classes to face other champions is no easy thing. I've seen posters say 168 was a weak weight class, it probably was but Canelo still unified it when nobody else did.

You point me to any potential opponent for Canelo and an argument could be made why someone else is a tougher challenge.

No way in hell Canelo beats Usyk(but I've said that before when I never imagined hed be fighting smw/lhws/cws)

[Superbee]

Freak show....

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Pissing and moaning as usual…

Andre Ward never won a Cruiserweight belt, I wonder if Ward will finally come out of retirement to fight Canelo for it.

Ward is no draw. Ward coming off a layoff does nothing for Canelo. He wouldn't deserve a fight with the top dog. He brings boring and ugly foul filled fights. He needs to stay retired.

You read too much into things you shouldn't & don't give any weight to what you should.

Trinidad went up in weight drastically as he aged,Toney,Bhop,Pac, Floyd,JCC,Dlh,Bud,RJJ,hell even Floyd Patterson went up hella lbs over career & countless others like Leonard

you act like Canelo Hasn't always been a stocky natural mw who hadn't matured yet despite already being a p4p even at that age(he was still growing in boxing terms which is much different to normal aging,let alone for a genuine prodigy many of us have been saying all along he would develop into.

When fighters who started out very young as pros grow,they tend to move up greatly,the only difference with Canelo is hes able to move up & down because hes more disciplined/all around more well-rounded than 99%,& hes able to gain a bunch too because he has to rehydrate after weigh ins anyways.

(& Hes short af which allows him to pick a weight anywhere between 160-185 these days) Common sense really

I'd like to agree with you but the fact that he and at least another 3 Eddy Reynoso trained fighters have all failed PED tests I've got serious doubts to be honest.
