Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Honored With Statue In Mexico

Good for Canelo but it's only a matter of time before his statue gets vandalized or damaged.

What a joke, maybe because Wilder is nowhere near as accomplished. I mean his biggest win? Ortiz twice? Defended a belt vs pure trash, never unified. Meanwhile Canelo has been an undisputed champ and a mulit division champ as well. The comparison is a joke, not surprised this is coming from a clown like yourself.

All except Wilder was clean and never cheated the game. He never popped dirty for doping like Clenenlo did. I guess integrity of the sport means very little to the average boxing fan just so long as their favorite fighter is winning.

Ehhh, while Canelo does have the better resume and accomplishments, it’s not as drastic a disparity as you’re trying to make it seem.
1. Wilder is a hw so moving up weight classes was never an option for him however, if the challenge of moving up and fighting bigger men is what makes moving up weight classes an impressive feat, Wilder his been at significantly bigger weight disadvantages than Canelo ever has.
2. Wilder is tied for 5th with Ali in all time hw title defenses. Now sure you can say his opposition was average but it was quite comparable to the run of Uk fighters canelo has spent a large portion of his career focusing on and comparable to the opposition he faced at 168 in his undisputed title run you’re praising.

3. What separates canelo is the amount of hall of famers he’s faced however, all of them were 35 and older when he faced them. Wilder on the other hand faced a prime future hall of famer 3x in Fury. Canelo hasn’t faced 1 future hall of fame in their prime unless Bivol somehow becomes a hall of famer one day.

4. Canelo is a proven cheat while Wilder has been an advocate for testing while voluntarily paying for vada 24/7 for years, unlike canelo who was forced into doing it for 1 year and then stopped.

In closing, neither are statue worthy imo.

Just like I give Oscar credit for being an ATG, I'll always give Canelo credit for being great. The only difference between the two is Oscar was great from the first fight of his career to the very last. Guy went out on his shield fighting Manny. Oscar also knew that his fanbase demanded he fight the top blacks and he delivered. Oscar would've never accepted a franchise title or avoided Charlo and Andrade. Oscar represented everything there is about Mexican boxing, Clenelo does not!

There are no top black boxers around his weight class. There hasn’t been many in the past 30 years. You need to stop watching prison channels on YouTube. They’re hurting your ego for some reason. Which is ****** because you’re supposed to be an adult.

Why would fighting blacks is important? Nowadays American blacks are boring, loudmouths whose definition of fighting is jabbing, running and hugging their opponent the entire fight, while using the race card so referees and judges never do anything about it. Glad that besides the always warriors Latinos we now also have Asians, Eastern Europeans and Middle Easterners.
