Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: "Canelo vs. Beterbiev Is A Helluva Fight"

[Jab jab boom]

While Canelo is a good fighter, people have made the mistake of thinking he’s like a Duran , Floyd or Pac. Guys that have made significant weight jumps and been able to compete at a high level against elite opposition. The illusion was created by canelo beating mid level belt holders at 168 and the win over the ghost of Kovalev. He’s not competing against guys like Bivol or Beterbiev and may end up getting badly hurt. He’s actually likely to get badly hurt against Benavidez as well.

Sept 2024 for the undisputed 75 belt!

I can see Beterbiev really hurting Canelo, and leaving lasting effect's on Canelo, from the explosive power that Beterbiev generates into his fist's.

He can't beat neither of the last three you named because he isn't good enough against skilled fighters

His record says otherwise. None of those three is a Mayweather and none of them are as good Bivol. Canelo would be the betting favorite against the rest of the guys, for a reason.

Canelo seems to be aging worse than Beterbiev. Could be that he has nearly triple the fights, and that takes its toll, but I would pick a 38/39 year old Artur over a 32/33 year old Saul.

Canelo's best days are clearly behind him and I doubt he's going to go for interesting, dangerous fights for the remainder of his career.

One time fan but eventually people reveal who they are. Now go sit in the corner with your pointy hat and STFU

Seems like Canelo can't even think straight after the beating Bivol gave him.

Did someone really suggest that fighting Beterbiev would be "ducking" that clown Benavidez?

Are we trying to say that Benavidez is more dangerous than the guy in the weight class above who's the only champion with a 100% stoppage rate?

Someone must think very highly of that coke head.

Beterbiev has a very good chin, and when was the last time we saw Canelo winning rounds on the back foot? Not seeing it. 168 is likely his limit.

This is completely comical to think redballs would step in the ring with a stone cold killer before he's 42.

[Boxing Scene]

beterbiev is getting around that age where canelo will be interested in him as an opponent

Nah not with that last performance..yarde would beat the **** out of Canelo..

His record says otherwise. None of those three is a Mayweather and none of them are as good Bivol. Canelo would be the betting favorite against the rest of the guys, for a reason.

Canelo would not be favored against Beterbiev Bivol or Yarde. Not at all.
