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

[MCFM]

You are right, he lost it to drugs and being lazy. So much better.

Yeah and still doesnt change the fact that nobody took it from him and still being ducked by ur papa canelito.
YOUR POINT?

Isn’t Oscar the same guy who at the time said it was a cherry pick and an easy fight for Canelo?

How anyone likes this guy I’ll never understand.

Hindsight and all that. I don't disagree, but wow, Oscar is such a tool.

[Boxfan83]

He shouldve fought Makabu.

[_Rexy_]

I hear what Oscar's saying here about risk/reward but then why did he put Ramirez in with Bivol? His chances of winning were slim to none and Bivol, as champion, was getting the lion's share of the purse. Is Oscar indirectly admitting he was cashing out Ramirez?

**** else are you going to do with Zurdo? He fights 30lbs over his weight limit, and he's food for Bivol OR Beterbiev.

Canelo picks his own opponents not Hearn

[Raimondo]

Canelo and his handlers miscalculated their moves when they picked Bivol and they probably thought that Bivol is another Callum Smith or washed up Kovalev.

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

So ask yourself why has the Charlo's and Benavidez been calling for fights with Canelo for a long time especially the Charlo Twins for sure plus Benavidez messed his own situation up all he had to do was keep a belt and stay away from the drugs he's a very lazy boxer and has no and may eventually get knocked off too but I do feel if he's a 100% focus he could give Canelo big problems but to me I always said that the Charlo's will always be a more difficult fight for Canelo honestly they just need to make the fight and ODH needs to move on from the ball he fumbled

[champion4ever]

For once, I can agree with Oscar. There are weight classes and divisions for a reason. In addition, there are levels to this sport and Canelo is not even remotely close to Dmitry's level.

Moreover, he is way out of his league against Bivol. He should fight Benavidez next instead; Since he is a lot closer to his skill level. However, if Alvarez does decide to fight Bivol again in September.

Then Dmitry is going to beat his ass some more.
