Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Like The Idea To Be Undisputed at 175

[BigDramaShow!]

Yet he plans to cherrypick a 40yr old man and John “Gorilla” Ryder if he somehow wins vs Bivol.

Canelo daring to be great. If only the PBC squad would do the same…

Only Errol Spence and Jermell Charlo daring to be great in the entire pbc stable.

I guess you can give an honorary mention to Shawn Porter and Derevyanchenko, but they lost every time they tried so...

Seems to me his punch has gotten considerably heavier at super middle/light heavy than it ever was at light middle and middleweight

Yeah, that’s a fair point actually; I might have to revise that opinion.

He doesn’t have to engage in extreme weight drain like pre-2017, so it probably helps.

As long as they try and they’re game, that’s the main thing. Cos it makes for hella watching even if they flop

The guys who beat Canelo are speedy boxers. The sluggers will continue to fall--maybe both champs at 175. They can be hit and Canelo can hit. Bivol is a boxer but he gets hit. Canelo has good defense and can take a good punch. It remains to be seen who will beat him. Mayweather you coming back? ha ha

If Joe Smith upsets bieterbiev Canelo will make a fight with him in December 2022 to unify.

If Bieterbiev wins as expected, Canelo fights Charlo and Benavidez in May & September 2023 then unifies with Bieterbiev December 2023 or May 2024, depending on how rough the Sept fight is.

Wow.. he's only 31?
I thought he was older that that.

Every athlete has an come up, a peak, and a decline. Like other greats before him it would be dope to see Canelo still competing while on decline and in the twilight of his career. This is when oftentimes we'll see competitive, entertaining bouts because they start coming down and leveling out with other fighters. Canelo has had an impressive career regardless of the criticism and past mistakes. I'm excited to see his future in the sport.

Beterbiev is top dog. He will beat Bivol like a stepchild but Beterbiev would give him a tough fight. So, that ain't as easy as journey at 168.

Yes, canelo will have it lot tougher at 175.

If he's seriously looking to unify at 175 then he shouldn't go back to 168 for Golovkin. Unless the weight is already contracted he should insist on a catch-weight at something over 170 - take it or leave golovkin.

Also, someone with a good chin. Khan was quick and getting the best of Canelo till Canelo landed clean. Than again, that punch was so clean it probably would have at least hurt any other boxer.
