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

[IronDanHamza]

People watched Bivol throw Canelo into the ropes and unload on him in the fifth round, yet don't think Artur would be able to do that.

People watched Canelo so gassed against Bivol that he could barely hold his arms up the last two rounds, but they don't think Artur would capitalize off that

That's weird because assumingly you've watched James Toney get soundly beaten by journeyman multiple times in his prime yet you somehow think that he would dominate, destroy and knock out Canelo, AJ and Wilder.

Care to explain that?

This fight only happens if DAZN want to cash Canelo out and move on.

He does that was evident by the way, that he fractured Billy Joe Saunders' face when they fought.
But here's the thing, when Beterbiev start's landing Canelo's going to realize that he's moved up to 175 one time to many.

Canelo won't beat Beterviev. But as far as the weight .... Canelo was about 172 lbs when he fought 150 lb. Mayweather. He honestly could and should have been fighting light-heavy a long time ago. He didn't because those guys are properly his size, and he would have many more losses most likely. He weight-bullied 147 and 154 for quite a while. Caneelo should have been at 168 (at least) at the time of the Mayweather fight.

This is Slow Eddie once again putting a wrench in Beterbiev’s spokes , at the same time steering Bivol clear of his biggest challenge
The writing is on the wall and quite easy to see
Smith is who’s fighter ?
Who is forcing this mando ?
Don't be fooled by the shoulderoll’s of this world
He clearly understands what’s going on but who is his idol ; Canelo
As that is , he’s also become an advocate for Slow Eddie lol

Fact's! Canelo just doesn't like it when the shoe is on the other foot, and he's the one getting weight bullied.
But many of us not only think it's fair, and square, but also think it's Karma for Canelo, (poetic justice in it's finest hour).

Beterbiev still waiting for the ped cheat to call

Maybe man.. highly possible. I’d just love to see it either way.

So would I! It would be a battle while it last's, and that would be when Beterbiev, start's pounding Canelo into the canvas.
It could be deja vu all over again, with Canelo's corner having to throw in the towel to save him, almost like what happened in the Yarde fight.
I don't know if Canelo, and Hearn are really thinking about going up against Beterbiev, or if's it's just propaganda to keep propping him up as the fearless Canelo.
Which you do have to give credit for his vaunted career in boxing, but if he really is planning to fight Beterbiev then he still hasn't learned his lesson about fighting at 175 pounds.
He already got his ears boxed off by the light hitting Bivol, so he wants to try his luck against Beterbiev who's not a master boxer, but is a devastating puncher.
What a character! Although this is the fight game, and anyone can pull off an upset in any given fight, don't bet on that happening if this fight is to take place.
Canelo would try his darndest to win, bringing his full repertoire to bear, it just wouldn't be nearly enough to keep the Russian from crushing him into abject defeat.

[IronDanHamza]

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

If you actually think that Anthony Yarde would be a betting favourite over Canelo then you’re dumber than I originally suspected.

"I want belts, not names..."

So nahhhh... He isn't... Probably the one guy in the whole world who doesn't give a damn about fighting Ginger... For now...
