Comments Thread For: Ward: Canelo's Refusal to Fight Benavidez Would Taint His Legacy

[SUBZER0ED]

Absolutely it will. He already looks like a coward and the whole boxing world sees it. He doesn’t even want to rematch bivol and that makes him look like a coward too. Canelo is a good fighter but he is nowhere near what the boxing establishment has made him out to be. Benevidez making him look like he has a yellow streak down his back a mile long. I think he would rather sing “im a little teapot” in a skirt for all to see rather than fight Benevidez

"I'm a little teapot!" In a skirt, no less!

People forget how Alvarez first insisted that he was focused on rematching Bivol and getting his revenge. He then made Dmitry an offer that he knew was unacceptable and made no further mention of him. As if "The face of boxing" somehow is unable to make a fight that he truly wants to make. Then after the fans began to demand he fight Benavidez, his mandatory challenger of two years, he first said David's done nothing to deserve the fight and then said he wouldn't fight another Mexican. After that, came Reynoso's claim that his fighter doesn't need to fight Benavidez in order to cement his legacy, when PBC tried to set a deal with Cinnamon to fight him. And now, he's fighting fellow Mexican Mungia! Throw in the catch-weight fights, aging-out Golovkin and Kovalev, Clenbuterol bust and cherry-picks, and it's easy to see that this guy's "legacy" has more twists, turns and controversy than a bad soap opera.

this is here ^^ totally sums Canelo up

Ward's no hero himself, but he's not wrong here.

if you think your favorite boxers are clean, then I got an ocean front property in New Mexico to sell you.

Im sure they arent but nelo got caught

And then he immediately rematched him and dominated tf fcuk outta him. Not like Saul when he tossed the belts to avoid GGG. Or when he was insulted after pissing dirty....or after 2 controversial decisions ages GGG even more and fights him what, 3 years later? But mexicans don't fcuk around....

Again he should of KO'd him. But seems like gius his size goes 12 with him when he can't just steam roll over them.

Saul fought him. How many times ggg move up when MW was DOG SHT!!! You need me to post a list of MW's when GGG was #1???

It was a crappy division. The best fight should have been ginger vs ggg.

[TheOneAboveAll]

Canelo;

1. No heart when things aint going his way in fights - simply folds
2. Appalling stamina and conditioning
3. Has slow heavy feet
4. Is a convicted cheater
5. Is a ducker
6. Should have AT LEAST 5 losses
7. Tries to portray himself as the best boxer in the sport when he isn't
8. Has an obnoxious, arrogant character and constantly changes the goalposts with the BS excuses he makes

Talk of Canelo being a all time great is absolutely hilarious - so far removed from the real past Mexican greats.

And lets not forget, Canelo is a CHEATER. He only got busted in 2018 but its pretty obvious he was on numerous substances including steroids before that date - just look at the dramatic body transformations by Canelo is such a quick amount of time... Utterly pathetic and screams of insecurity and lack of belief in own sills.

How does this man have any wins at all with attributes like that?

Same goes for the smw division that's been dog **** since its inception. Saul vs Benavidez is the ONLY fight that matters. And that wbc belt was David's twice over lol...sh.it is hilarious

"You don't know how good you are until you fight the best"

Canelo has been much more tested than you mister Ward.
He has fought much more killers than Ward whose best opponents/wins are Kovalev, Kessler and Froch.

No he hasn't and you are truly dumb if you believe that.

All better than anyone Canelo has beaten outside past prime Golovkin and unlike Canelo has ever done Ward beat them at their best.

Payed off judges/commissions for when he fights real challengers. Other than that the wins are from binmen or bums.
