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

If he beats Makabu, I can see him challenging Usyk at HW next

this is crazy..

He would never fight Usyk. Unless Usyk gets knocked out a few times.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Usyk come back to CW of Canelo wins. Usyk gets a bigger payday against Canelo than anyone at HW.

Can this guy keep cherry picking the way he does and still be considered the best Mexican of all time? The 168 division was one of the weakest of all weight classes. Does it really matter if he wins every weight class by fighting his 75 year old uncle Pablo?

Chavez Sr. cherry picked bums for 95% of his career

You own nothing, not even that ankle bracelet that's keeping you at home with mommy and daddy. He is not enrolled in year round VADA testing. Anyone can verify this by checking with Boxrec or VADA's website. I do believe it's your bed time now kid.

He has literally done year round vada for several years,& he has just had 4 vada fights in 11 mos

why not fight someone in their prime, Breidis or Okolie , instead of fighting Tony Bellew's leftovers ?

[Floyd is TBE]

You gotta earn that Canelo fight tho

I think by now even casuals are starting to notice what Canelo is doing by going up in weight classes without fighting those he should.

Genuine question - which fighter in recent history has yo yo'd up and down the weights with such regularity or ease? None. Why? Well because in most cases it is not humanly possible without it physically taking a toll on the body. Canelo is definitely on something and Eddy Reynoso is rotten to the core!

Just look at the changes in Canelo's physique throughout the years - it just scrreams PEDs. Even Eddie Hearn before aligning with Canelo remarked that it looked like Canelo was on PEDs.

I believe Canelo's natural physique would've capped out at 160lbs. His normal weight was 155lbs but as his man body/strength kicked in it he would've grown out to a max of 160lbs. He's only 5 foot 8 which is small for a JM/MW... All further body growth has almost certainly been achieved by PED use. At times hes definitely had that steroid look - just abnormally thick and looking like hes got water retention going on.

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

[Fists_of_Fury]

Skills matter more than weight. Some people seem to underestimate that. Canelo is a different caliber fighter and levels above(although many levels below Floyd Mayweather Jr.) the rest. He has a solid chin, good speed, good power, solid defense, high ring IQ, and more balls than so called p4p guys that go off "eye test" like Crawford. Canelo will whoop that cruiserweight and then eventually move to 175lbs to beat up Bivol, Beterbiev and anyone else he's supposedly ducking from Eurobumville.

Notice Davis and Alvarez fight nearly the same way and they also cherry pick the same way. Good way to get away from people they are afraid to fight.
