Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez: Charlo Is Bigger Than Me; Everybody's Bigger Than Me ... But I'm [A Badass]

[AKAcronym]

Usyk fought at middleweight as a teenager. Nobody brings up the fact that he started at 165 and now fights at 220.

Why? Because he was ****ing 15 years old

They're ****ing ridiculous.

[just the facts]

We gotta talk about is he even bigger than Spence?

They seem at the same size in photos with Charlos. Spence hardly making 147 just like Canelo at his 19-20. Also, Spence fought at 154 in 2015 at Heerdeen fight. I think both are natural 154.

In terms of natural size: Canelo >= Spence > Crawford.

Canelo is the most incredible phenom since Robinson era.

You are one Canelo infatuated pha66ot. Someone mentions Canelo and your ears turn into pistol grips, Vaseline starts squirting out of your nose and back go those special made garage door teeth of yours.

Did you put on your pink leotards and matching lipstick before jerking it to your favorite sweaty Canelo poster today?

Cabron doesn’t mean badass, give me a break, what kind of moron says something like that about themselves? The meaning is derogative, more like calling someone or yourself a SOB.

Roger Mayweather is probably rolling on his grave from all of these comments from ignorant non boxing fans that think they know boxing. Canelo’s arm length is the smallest of any 160 to 175 fighter, Legs are shorter than most of them too. When he talks about him always being the shortest guy, is because he is. Canelo is not even a 5’8” he is more like 5’7”. Charlo who stands at almost 6 feet said he walks at a weight of 168 to 170. Canelo walks at 180 so tell me knowledgeable people, who has to make the biggest sacrifices in the weight drain? Who has the reach advantage and the height advantage? Some ignorant said here that Canelo is cherry picking? Did Leonard cherry pick Duran on their first match? Did Oscar cherry picked when Mosley went up 2 weight divisions to beat him? Mind all of you Duran or Mosley weren’t undisputed in his division like Charlo is!

With Duran, huge differences. Duran was already fighting as a welterweight before the Leonard fight. Duran wasn’t the undisputed lightweight champion? Do some homework before posting.

These threads regarding fighter's weights outside of official weigh ins are always like grizzled old drunkards sitting around a dank tavern telling tall tales

"I heard Canelo was so heavy now that his wife has to have a titanium car seat to strap him into when she drives him around"

"Thats a lie! he's small, so small that he needs a special stool to sit on in the corner so his head will be high enough for the camera to see him"

"He may have been small but.....that was a long time ago"

This is exactly what makes Canelo unlikeable. Dude has had some good fights, but then he goes and says something idiotic like this.

What was he supposed to say, "he's bigger than me but I'm not a badass"

Didn't Gayweather go on all career saying he was "the best ever" and act all tough and badass and you people and other F.lomós eat it up. But since it's Canelo, now you people see it as unlikable.

[TheWinners]

No, they're not!

So why in f**** sake do you think Canelo is saying Jermell is the bigger fighter? Is he making it up? What about all his opponents at 168? And in any of Canelos fights at 168 did he get called the bigger man? I guess Canelo is a short weight bully.

Usually the taller fighter is the bigger fighter. You guys can't have all your chromosomes.

Okay, this is the narrative that I can't get behind. Yes, he's physically a smaller man compared to a lot of the fighters he's faced. But, you can't take away the fact that his body is acclimated to the 168 and 175 pound divisions, particularly the former. Charlo is the bigger man physically, but he's never competed at 168 pounds. His body doesn't know how it feels to move and fight at that weight. This is why this narrative needs to be rejected. Canelo knows what he's doing. I respect him, but he's trying to add a narrative to this fight that simply doesn't have legs to stand on. If we analyze more in depth, we'll understand that it's one thing to walk around as a bigger man, but it's another thing to compete at a specific weight class. Charlo has a bigger hill to climb than Canelo does come September 30th.

Charlo is not bigger than Canelo. He's smaller than Canelo. Taller doesn't mean bigger. This is just Canelo trying to justify fighting an opponent two divisions below him. He also knows his silly cultist fans will eat this up.
