    I remember people giving Spence a bunch of **** because he went 12 rounds with Mikey Garcia. That win was more impressive than Canelo over Charlo.

      Charlo was trying to survive the fight. He wasn’t in there trying to win. It’s hard to stop a fighter like that who’s capable.

        I don't think people can criticize Alvarez that much, he is a Champion who has consistently fought at a level.

        Alvarez may be in the latter part of his career, but he is still fighting at a World & Elite level etc.
        Jermell Charlo is not an elite super middleweight or a super middleweight champion. He's nothing at that weight.

          Plant is a mover. Canelo is not. I think Benavidez would turn it into a Mexican war. I'm not sure Canelo can handle that at this stage of his career. He needs to fight people who show him respect. Benavidez would show none.

            If you cut a little less weight and move 2 divisions up, that doesn`t mean you are 2 divisions bigger fighter if your body is not grown to the new division.

            Brook was also not a middleweight in GGG fight, although I believe he was not much lighter than GGG.

              Canelo went the distance with a BIG MIDDLEWEIGHT who drains himself to 154 to beat on smaller guys

              Charlo is a natural big MW, just like his IDENTICAL TWIN who fights at MW

              He was bigger and taller than Canelo yesterday

              The ginger keeps beating on bigger guys

              just like irl, this lion lost to a brave honey badger

                No, I think you'll find Ezzard Charles was not the Heavyweight Champion when Rocky Marciano beat him.

                And when Marciano did fight Charles, they were both in the 185-190 lb range which was the normal weight for the vast majority of Heavyweight champions up to that point.

                Nothing alike to your pitiful attempt at justifying Canelo's pathetic choice of opponent here.

                  Dumb clown. Jermell hasn't foight and acclimated to weights above 154 ibs unlike canelo. Canelo can't make or drain to 160 ibs anymore. Canelo is the bigger guy. Jermell is just the taller, but leaner guy.

                      Super-welter and super-middle are unnecessary divisions, they're both middleweights.
