Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer Admits That Charlo Is An Important Fight, Anxious To Make It

[Sid-Knee]

agree with you that he’s a law unto himself when it comes to mandatories. However you’re talking nearly 5 years ago now. He unified 168 that was his mission. Bar Yildrim who admittedly was lame, he just gathered belts at 168 then had an unsuccessful campaign at 175 but let’s face it he’s too small for 175 and it showed. But there wasn’t really a duck in there. How can you say someone who’s fought Mayweather, Cotto, Moseley, Golovkin etc etc ducks people? Charlo had fought no one and brought nothing to the table. Dazn outbid Haymon and Canelo wanted the belts that’s the truth of the matter.

Canelo has ducked more than i can remember. He only goes after them if they're badly out of sorts. At their best though? Forget it. He'll wait years until perception can create a false legacy for him.

Mosley was small and shot. Anyone would fight that version of Mosley. Many did, and Beat him. Cotto was way past his best too and smaller. The last world class win Cotto had before Canelo was at Welter with Clottey. Golovkin was ducked for years until he showed Canelo that he was slowing down and not looking as good i the ring.

As for Floyd... Canelo felt he had to call him out otherwise he thought people would look at him as scared to say his name. But did he really sincerely want the fight? Hell no. The weird thing is, all these Mexicans don't want the fights like that with Americans. They just don't want to look bad by ducking them. They duck other nations though. But with Americans, they feel they have to. It's weird.

Makes no sense to wait a year and a half to fight Benavidez

I agree. That's true but it is what it is. He and along with his fans believe he will avenge his loss by finding redemption against Bivol. However, I just so happen to not be one of them.

The last time Bivol defeated Alvarez; He made it look so easy as if he had one hand tied behind his back without even trying hard. He literally carried him across the finish line. Now just imagine if Bivol would have given Canelo his best.

Chances are Dmitry probably would have stopped Alvarez.

Hey sid so you're basically taking away credit of the likes of good level british boxers such as Bjs and both Smith brothers(all of them undefeated when they fought canelo) seriously? You looking down on your own fighters? Shame on you Sid ,shame on you lol.

How can it take credit away from THEM if Canelo is fighting them at their worst? It takes credit away from Canelo. But not them. Surely that isn't too difficult for you to understand? Actually, wait. It really is.

Liam is only fringe level as well. He isn't world class. He's solid. Decent. But no more. That's why Canelo chose him over Charlo and Andrade at the time, even though he was selling PPV in the US. If you're selling PPV in the US, get the names that will sell the most. Not the least which was the case with Liam.

Oh sid you're the least person here to talk about valid arguments, with you its all about phony 'circumstances' ,nothing more than disguised excuses especially when it comes to british fighters getting their asses handed to them by mexicans and or Americans.

I KNOW YOUR DEAL SID.

Point out a single argument that wasn't valid from me? All of those fighters were in fact badly inactive at the time. Do you think those results happen the other way round? Don't be ******. They don't happen on a level playing field either. Go and look at all the Mexicans and Americans taking a mass of fights under those conditions. They never fight themselves when they're out that long. They take a tune-up to get rid of the rust before taking a big fight. They know what benefits are on offer. They don't want to know otherwise. They'll just duck and wait to seek out an unfortunate opponent that fits the bill.

Don't pretend it isn't happening en masse. They're fighting nothing but these kind of opponents. If not, they drain them and sabotage them that way. No other nations other than the US and Mexico are doing this. They're not cheating cowards.

You couldn't tell me who has won under those conditions other than a few. Guess what, they're mostly Brits who did. Then you have Roman Gonzales with Martinez. That's why he wanted the fight.

Charlo is not beating Benavidez plant was David's worse style match up.

Benavidez carves charlo up brutally.

I would still like to see the fight.

Canelo loves it when his opponent is at their worst when he faces them. Mexicans are all over the place taking on inactive opponents like they're going out of fashion. That's why the team is now really interested in the fight. 2 years out is perfect for them.

It's crazy for sure Sid, completely out of the blue this potential matchup.

[Gideon lock]

It wasn't quite 10, but it was a long time, from 154 to 160. Now that he's been inactive for 2 years and trying to recover from life issues, he's giving off cherry vibes, and Reynoso and Cinnabon can smell a sweet cherry from deep inside Mexico.

For sure bro, they can smell that ring rust a mile off. Reynoso is salivating. Canelo is probably focused on the task at hand although it's pretty much a foregone conclusion he will beat ryder so I'm interested in what's next.

Such a biased, distorted view of things. Moseley and Cotto were just a different era that was on its way out. It happens in boxing since time began. The up coming fighters take on the old guard. It wasn’t Canelo’s fault Mosely and Cotto had passed their primes. But neither was ducked and both were tough fights. He was 21 and had had 40 fights by the time he fought Moseley. Mayweather weight drained him and made a smart choice to face him before he hit his prime. Cotto was the middleweight champion and it was Canelo who was coming up in weight. I really can’t be arsed to argue the point any more. Literally everyone in the boxing world knows Canelo’s a deserved future HoF and has one of the best if not the best resume in boxing.

[al-Xander]

Most likely another idiot Yutuber asked another idiotic question. And what division should the fight take place?

[Cool story]

So it wasn’t an important fight when they were both at mw and charlo was the wbc mandatory but now that Charlo is inactive and has been unimpressive, it’s suddenly important? Foh. They ONLY important fight for Canelo at 168 right now is Benavidez. But in true team Canelo fashion, they’ll likely go the less risky route.

Charlo never had a a chance vs canelo He not that good
