Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Stands Firm That Hearn Making Canelo-Bivol Was a Mistake

[rrayvez]

It's not a mistake when you dare to be great and take a big risk, against an opponent that could beat you, big name or not.

Oscar wouldn't say this of course, if Canelo was still with him. Is Ryan Garcia at the level of Gervonta Davis? No, but it wasn't a mistake to take the fight.

Sometimes you gotta roll the dice and see how good or great are you. And don't think if you have one loss, your career and market value is over.

Do you really think canelo was daring to be great? I don’t think they realized bivol was as good as he was. Especially since he had been fairly inactive and hadn’t looked impressive in his last 2 fights before facing canelo. He also hadn’t had a ko in quite some time. There’s a reason why canelo was wrongly favored going into that fight. They misjudged him and took the L.

This is why Oscar left Ryan hanging after his loss...He'd been warning Ryan to stay away from Tank Floyd and PBC but Ryan wouldn't listen... Just like Mungia has a bunch of fights but still hasn't had a notable fight yet he would have kept Ryan on the same path for as long as he could've.

Cryan wanted to challenge himself and become the face of boxing. nothing wrong with that other than he quit. He needs to leave golden girl and move on with his career. 140 is going to be great going forward

Bivol is a master boxer with with a sturdy chin. Bivol is just a bigger, and better fighter than Canelo is.
If they fight a much talked about rematch, Bivol will defeat Canelo yet again.

Garcia/Davis worked out well oscar ur a genius lmao

My thought's exactly, he should've thought about that before he spoke. Apparently Oscar still irked about having lost Canelo as part of his stable of fighter's.

I have a question for you all - do you respect fighters who take risks or not?

I rather be a fan of someone who has losses but fights the best than someone clearly protecting that '0'

[Boricua181]

It's a curse. I'm not saying Canelo went to sleep on Bivol, but he could have. He wants no Beterbeets and Bandera Roja is playing possum, holding back on sweet hands to smoke Canel out. Rider by shocking upset.

Those are some bold statement's, and if Ryder is able to pull off a miracle win in Mexico, against the WBC's adopted son/cash cow you'll look like a genius.
Don't hold your breath, because the chances of Ryder winning this fight in Mexico, are virtually an impossibility of it happening for many reason's.

Yep but Charlo was MIA and Benavidez didn't have a belt. Why not just applaud the ambition. Wish you had some for Munguia

Give the man a cookie for trying.. "benavidez doesnt have a belt"..
lol how long are ppl gonna use this narrative? Benavidez didnt even lose his belts to a fight

[MCFM]

"Why in the hell would u risk the face of boxing to a guy nobody knew?"
what do you mean, yall been doing that the entire time, minus the risk.. lmao
fkng clowns
