Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Still Feel I'm The Best; Name a Fighter Who Takes Risks Like Me - Nobody

I’m not saying Usyk isn’t very good but he’s 6’2. There have been MANY heavyweight champions at that height. Name outside of Canelo, how many 5:08 168 pound champions their have been?

It’s not a height division, and 168 has been around for only thirty or so years.

that being said, Montel Griffen was 5’7 and unified champ at 175. So by your logic, thats GOAT ****

Stop moving the goalposts. Even Hearn thought it was a cherry pick.

Hearn actually said it was a unnecessary risky fight for canelo but obviously was rooting for the ginger to win but anyone who actually followed boxing knew bivol was serious business in 175 specially for a fighter moving up from consecutive fights at 168,definitely not moving post ,Bivol is indeed a risky/dangerous fight for anyone from SMW to LHW and yes ,beterbiev included.

No he’s not the goat. Height is a reflection of the “frame”. In boxing you want every advantage. “ frame” isn’t everything but its a tuff thing to beat when it has “talent”.
Can you make “other” advantages?

Can't tell if being sarcastic or not?

That would be sarcastic if I say prime merchant.

Yes, I was aware of that. It's why I won $800 on the fight. Hearn literally said to Bivol "Having watched your last few fights, I would have never expected that." So, yeah.

You're ******ed.

You're ******ed.

I guess that’s a “no”. You cant think of 1 advantage that’s nice to have??

Only Pacquiao. Canelo is definitely trying to follow in his footsteps. The difference is Pacquiao actually won those big challenges when he wildly moved up in weight; you got the sense that he always trained his ass off and never underestimated anyone. Canelo definitely let it get to his head and underestimated an absolute nightmare of a fighter in Bivol.

Legends generally shouldn't have 5 probable losses on their record...

Your so right I guess Robinson, Ali, Jones jr, Duran aren’t legends .
