Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer Says "No Chance" a Fight With Usyk Ever Happens

[Madison Boxing]

sums up canelos career, i dont understand how its not considered cherry picking when you just move up and down in weight depending on if there is a fighter there that you are sure you can beat. surely thats literally the definition of cherry picking, e.g fighting kovalev to be LHW champ but then changing division before you have to fight someone better. hes literally skipping a whole division to fight someone noones ever heard of at cruiser. and gtfoh saying these are 'champions' anyone who has followed boxing for more than 2 weeks knows being a champion means pretty much nothing any more. that guy hes fighting is absolutely useless, ko'd in 3 by bellew , wow he must be some real world beater

Blatant duck (SARCASTIC!!!)

Canelo should show greatness by dominating a division. Its not enough to run away from Andrade at 154, runaway from Benavides at 168, take opportunistic chamces at feeble champions as Kovalev and Mbaku.

Now that he is 168 Undisputed, there is only one task to prove his dominance: beat Benavidez but no. There's another weak target at the cruiserweight.

Legacy of opportunities, tacko and officiating cheats

Canelo is too small for 168 and you guys are bitching about his trainer not considering a fight with the unified hw champion?

Dude is 5'8'' he doesn't belong anywhere near 200 lbs and will challenge one of the champions and still some are complaining about.

Too small for 168? He probably can´t even make 160 so what division would you suggest, 165.5? - They are weight, not height classes and Canelo @ 168 looks stronger than ever. And no, he has no business sharing the ring with Usyk or Briedis.

They’re definitely risks.

Its not a foregone conclusion that he wins those, by any means, but I reckon he’ll unify 175, albeit by relying on at least two sets of judge’s scorecards.

If Beterbiev doesn't get bribed to lose then I can see him knocking out Canelo.

Typical. Canelo fights everyone but the real threats at the time they're still threats. Yeah Usyk is bigger but so is Makabu. Usyk can make 200 lbs no problem. This is the only real test for Canelo, the only opponent I'm interested to see Canelo fight. Even when Usyk loses to Joshua or Fury, that's just even more reason for him to move back to 200 for Canelo. Canelo's team didn't want him to fight Lara (supposedly, anyway) and he's the one who told them "I'm fighting Lara." I expect the same from Canelo now.

Usyk can't make 200 pounds anymore. He is walking at 230 nowaydays. Plus he will be heavier in the Joshua rematch. It will be around 225.

[Get em up]

I'm no fan of Canelo by any stretch but anyone saying he should fight Usyk at cruiserweight just wants to see him lose. Usyk is possibly the best cruiserweight ever. As long as Canelo goes back to 168-175 and fights real threats I have no issue with a title grab at 200

Canelo would get his ears boxed off and ko'ed and his trainer knows it.

[archiemoore1]

Its all good. Canelo makes his own weight divisions

Here we go again… the standards this man is held too are crazy!! Just goes to show the greatness is real in Canelo… a former welterweight gets shat on for not fighting the undefeated former undisputed cruiser current unified heavyweight champion of the world… when, you big boxing experts tell me please when a former welter has ever been asked to fight a guy like that in the history of this sport… it should take you less then 1 second to answer that… GREATNESS!!!
