Comments Thread For: Canelo Shoots Down Marquez's Criticism Over Not Facing Benavidez

[El Más Loco]

I'm mexican and I live here in México.

The hate that Canelo has in México Is a crazy thing, most of media and analists hate him.

I see how black people are defending the dirty moves of Davis AND Is crazy.

Canelo Is one of the most hated persons in México

Canelo uses those same tactics that Tank uses. Both are A-sides that always look for unfair advantages.

during which time canelo unified 168 and make a killing in an easy fight with golovkin, no chance

Other than the Bivol fight...less risk more reward. We all kmow how crooked the wbc is so I wont be holding my breath on Sordo Jr ordering it. Maybe itll happen after Bivol dominates Saul again...

Marquez isn't jealous of Canelo. Marquez is higher up on the ladder of best Mexican fighters ever. Marquez did better against Mayweather than Canelo did.

I’m a big JMM fan but no and no. Marquez, as great as he was, is not better than Canelo. Marquez never proved himself to be the dominant fighter at any weight and, thought he was at a size disadvantage against Floyd, he got absolutely schooled by by him just as Canelo did.

Same as Manny and bunch of other fighters, its how boxing works if you want to hate on one hate on them all.

Canelo (the cantaloupe, plum and cherry picker) is back in the ring next Saturday night, when he defends the undisputed super middleweight crown against mandatory challenger John Ryder.

Marquez considers Ryder a "regular fighter, from mid-level on down and that he should fight David Benavidez in his next fight."
“When you are world champion you have to face whoever, be it Mexican, European,” said Marquez.
"As a champion I would want to show the world that 'I'm at a higher level and you're not going to beat me.'"

Canelo (the cantaloupe, plum and cherry picker) has said that he's not interested in facing another Mexican fighter and he's often downplayed Benavidez's worth.

Why? Because he knows that the Mexican Monster Benavidez and other real tough guys would most likely, 'kick his cantaloupe, plum and cherry picking ask'.

And so, as long as he can keep signing promotional contracts that allow him, 'the cantaloupe, plum and cherry picker' to get away with fighting lower level fighters and scrubs....as long as he is a boxing attraction, and not so much because he is really that good anymore.

He'd look better on a 'golf course'.

JMM was not schooled by Mayweather. He was way to small, had tu bulk up which made him slower and Floyd basically out jabbed him, ran and pot shotted. No glory in that from a supposed great. His win was by points. Same with Canelo, Flod weght rained him and bascally hugged and ran al night, just pot shots, unable to hurt him and afraid of a remtach. Maidana on the other hand beat floyd twice but was robbed.

Don't see the point where many are down talking Marquez on this article, he's just stating the facts concerning Canalo!!!

Marquez also faced better prime competition than Canelo ever did. Canelo only looks dominant against mid level opponents.

At least Marquez is being honest and telling the truth. JMM was a fan friendly and crowd pleasing fighter; Who believed in not only himself but also his abilities. He always gave us boxing fans the fights that we wanted to see.

You sound like you are either ****** or a casual. Go back and watch that fight, and you'll see that Floyd dominated him (120-107, 118-109, 119-108) like he had never been dominated before. If he was too small he shouldn't have taken the fight, but the reality is that he thought he could beat a fighter coming off a 21 month layoff. You my friend win "Donkey of the Day."
