About Canelo

[CubanGuyNYC]

It's not silly when a fighter ducks his mandatory for three years. This "Canelo has nothing to prove" is ridiculous if he holds belts. If he doesn't want to fight his mandatory hẹ needs to give up the belts or get the hell out of boxing and the 168 pound division.

No, ducking your mandatory isn't silly. What I’m calling silly is the accusation that Canelo is a coward. He’s just not. He’s doing what every big-name fighter does, especially in the modern era: Alvarez chooses what he wants, not what’s chosen for him.

Because of his champion’s heart? The payday? Or something else?

all 3... this fight will happen. just not right now.

People have been calling for this fight 4 years ago. Floyd said on tv, two years ago he thought Canelo was ducking Benavidez. Stop pretending like this happened over night lol. Even 2 years to build up a fight is terrible. Just because it took 5 years for another fight does not mean that should be the standard. Those fights were well past their best.

and people were calling for the floyd/pac fight for like almost 10 years before it finally happen...

So the same ****** thing should happen? You know in the UFC this fight would have been made 3 years ago right?

no it shouldnt.. but you shouldnt get mad about it either if you let all those other matches marinate for almost 10 years.

yes, in the UFC it would happen already because in the UFC dana is the only one calling the shot not like in boxing where we have 3-4 different boxing organizations and promotors ALL going against each other.

And that’s one of the reasons UFC has grained so many followers. Boxing would be exponentially better, and attract more fans, if the best fought the best on a regular basis. And I know it’s a fantasy, but, if scoring in this sport were legit, boxing would reign supreme.

Your reaching. Calling and being a mandatory are very different things. It’s still building. Casuals dont know who Benividas is. Theirs more money to be made if the fights occurs later. I’m not justifying it. I’d of liked to see the fight happen 2 years ago. This game isn’t about fighting the best. Ask tank and his millions.

I don’t see his next fight is with a LH.

Canelo had no problem fighting guys on the wrong side of 30, but now that he's approaching that stage, things aren't working out like that.
