Comments Thread For: Ramirez Responds To Canelo: 'I Don't Get It; People Want To See Two Mexicans in The Ring'

I just think canelo was not thinking right with them comments, I'm sure he will realise what he said and take it back and make an interesting fight, canelo sure has earned respect for the fighters he has been fighting, I think he will take this backwell I hope so, it was a ****** comment

Only one problem with taking it back, this is actually the second time he has said he wouldn't fight Mexicans. He said it about a year ago. Typically when someone does something twice, their intent is clear and they don't regret it at all.

Jab Jab Whimpers! I think he was pointing to the fact that Mexican fighters have a tradition and have never had issues facing each other. He was using Barrera and Morales as an example because that was the first names that came to mind. At no point did he ever say that their fight would measure the them, but I don't expect someone with the I.Q of a cane toad would be able to read between the lines....

Canelo is planning to move into an estate in Exeter, when he wins his lawsuit. He's too good.

He said it first after the Chavez Jr. bout. He didn't fight any Mexican in the last 5 years.

Trustworthy guy.

Which means, per the initial post, he is not going to take it back as some sort of brain fart he had.

Saul a straight up b.itch for that EXCUSE. Hed rather fight euros and wypipos instead of Mexicans, Mex-Americans...mas puuuto

It's pretty simple really. Canelo wants to always be the Mexican 'Darling'. If another Mexican beats him, that person takes over as the more popular Mexican 'Darling' Champion. He wants to always be the most revered Mexican boxer, so to achieve that ... he can't take the chance of losing a fight to another Mexican.

Some serious ego--centric reasoning ... taken way to far .... but really, who's surprised? Also, he doesn't want another Mexican to become the sport's cash-cow ... over him. In the only fight where he was the 'B' side (Mayweather) he lost .... didn't have ALL of the judges favor (actually, for real fight fans he was the 'B' side vs Bivol the champion - he lost that one too).

I think Ramirez beats him in any case .... but I doubt he ever will take that fight.

Canelo doesn't want to help his fellow Mexicans get a payday lol. He should've just told Zurdo his resume is garbage and he needs to beat someone decent to earn a shot at him. The same with David Bumavidez. The sheeit he said to Andrade would suffice for both of them also.

Except that, that argument doesn't hold water either .... since he fought Khan (who had beat no one at the weight) who went up two divisions to fight him.

Benavidez, Ramirez, Andrade ... probably all find a way to beat him. Hopefully, GGG continues the "Humble Him" tour that Bivol started for Alvarez ...

zurdo needs to forget about nelo & concentrate on getting a few belts, he has a tough fight ahead probably and maybe even a tougher one after that, and if he is still standing then target the ginger minger
