Comments Thread For: Thurman: Canelo Needs To Jump In & Out Of Cruiserweight, Fight Benavidez, Charlo and Andrade

[TernceBudCharlo]

You’re just as much of a fanboy as Oracle. Canelo’s purpose is at 175? When’s he gonna get started? So far all he’s done is pick off the weak link (Kovalev) and go the other way when the real threats at 175 (Beterbiev/Bivol) come calling. Even if Canelo becomes undisputed at 175, that won’t trump an undefeated Floyd who EASILY beat Canelo h2h.

That's facts, plus failing the PED test TWICE will always push him down on the all time rankings. But beating Bivol and Betebiev still doest make his resume even close to Floyds, Floyd was fighting guys with a 20lb weight disadvantage on fight night. Canelo will be just as big as them to, he'll rehydrate from 175 to 190 probably. Floyd never rehydrated at 147. Not to mention Floyd dominated all his opponents, Canelo either gets controversial wins or KOs guys after getting outboxed by them.

Canelo has at least 4 years in his boxing
career. What do you expect him to do during
this time? Will he use 168 as his home and live
there forever? Canelo's plan is simple and
clear. He want to become undisputed at 175 in just two fights. Beterbiev will beat Smith most probably and Canelo will beat Bivol. Winner of Canelo vs Beterbiev will be undisputed in 2023. Bivol rumors aren't baseless. The fight is gonna happen in September at worst. There is a possibility that it is gonna even happen in May.

No, Canelo is not fighting Benevides because David can’t be relied on to make weight and pee clean. If he were, he would have gotten a Canelo fight already.
GTFOH!

The irony of Canelo fan boys pointing the finger at other fighters for testing dirty, christ you people are clowns. Canelo has also missed weight before. Every excuse under the sun to avoid David because deep down they fear David will melt Canelo.

Your comparing me to a fool who calls Benavidez a bum? You serious? All my arguments are rational.

Floyd never fought anyone in the level of Bivol and Beterbiev. You want to mention Pacquiao? Pac was past it already. Froid beat him when Pac had already been brutally KO'd by Marquez. Speaking of Marquez, Froid paid off Marquez so Froid can come in heavy. And speaking of paying off, Froid paid off Maidada so that Maidana would wear pillow gloves. Not to mention the first Maidana fight was a robbery, so there goes that theory of Froid dominating everyone. Plus Maidana was not on the level of Bivol and Beterbiev.

And speaking of robberies, Castillo, Maidana and De la Hoya were all controversial "wins". So again, no, Froid didn't dominate everyone.

Canelo has been clean far longer than Benavidez. Canelo has never missed weight and isn't a coke head like Benavidez.

[Albanianboxing]

Hahahaha Thurman focus on yourself...

[Oracle01]

Canelo has been clean far longer than Benavidez. Canelo has never missed weight and isn't a coke head like Benavidez.

So now the metric is how long they were clean and we just ignore that canelo was banned for 6 months for steriods which is cheating vs someone having some coke, out of camp, which is not performance enhancing? and you better go check canelos history, he has missed weight before, as have many fighters.

You don't think ******* isn't performance enhancing? Lol.

Snorts *******, gets stripped of his belt and also serves a suspension. But keep crying about Canelo. Clown.

Dude Charlo is not even a 168 fighter, who has beaten nobody, why the hell does David have to beat him to prove he is the No 1 challenger? He is a 2 time wc, ranked 1 in 168 he is already the clear challenger, who Charlo refuses to fight anyway.

He doesn’t have to fight Charlo, however Charlo is another potential opponent that Benavidez could get rid of.

Benavidez is already a worthy challenger; I’m just presenting alternatives in case the Canelo fight isn’t available in 2022. Surely Charlo-Benavidez would be better than both guys fighting overmatched opponents right?
