So Canelo won’t get credit for beating Charlo since he’s coming up from two divisions lower.
But when Canelo goes from a lower division to fight Bivol he doesn’t get any credit for that either.
Canelo haters are all over the place with their “logic.”Comment

It's laughable to try to equate the 2 situations as if they're at all similar.Comment

Of course, he should get credit for fighting bivol. The problem with "going up" is that he was already a belt holder at 175, is not that he doesn't get the credit, it is the way he got there believing in his own hype. Remember after kovalev fight? You and his fans want him to fight berteviev and then usyk, he was trying to fight a cruiserweight too, before his charlo fight he wanted to bring jack down to 180.Comment

Yeah, didn't Sulaimán say the WBC would sanction Canelo vs. Junior Makabu?

It’s laughable that there are double standards and that you will defend them. Just because you don’t like a Canelo.
Even though he beat Kovalev that fight showed me that he doesn’t really have the physical dimensions to be fighting at 175 lbs. But he fought Bivol there anyway and was willing to rematch him at that weight as well.Of course, he should get credit for fighting bivol.

I’m glad you say he should get credit for fighting Bivol. Most of his haters refuse to give him any.Comment

I don't actually dislike him as a fighter; his fans are another story though. What double standards am I defending? Your comparison was bad, so I called it as such.Comment

Beating a guy moving up in weight either deserves credit or it doesn’t.
Moving up in weight to fight one of the best in another weight class either deserves credit or it doesn’t.
Just keep the same energy for everyone who fits these criteria.Comment

Except that's not what you were initially comparing. Charlo jumping up 2 weights immediately from 154, is not the same as Canelo going up, since he'd been bouncing around before. That's why I said the two were in no way the same.Comment

They both moved up in weight to fight the best at a higher weight class.
And Charlo is actually taller with a longer reach than Canelo. Something that Canelo never had against Bivol.Comment
