Comments Thread For: 'I Don't Think Canelo Deserves Those Dates'

[crimsonfalcon07]

nah, it's been 3 years now and it's been about 2.5 yrs now that the other David (Morrell) has been mandatory, but who is counting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wrong. Morrell has been mandatory since Jan 2021. The WBA hasn't been defended since Smith defended vs Canelo. Benavidez only since May 2022. And the last time the IBF was defended was Plant v Canelo in Nov 2021, unless they want to claim GGG was an IBF mandatory. William Scull won an IBF final eliminator in July 2022. Regardless, Morrell has been mandatory for the longest, basically since Canelo first won the WBA in Dec 2020.

If we’re being honest, canelo has shat the bed with the Mexican holiday dates. He hasn’t had a successful ppv on one of those dates in 6 years. He’s bailed on a couple of dates and otherwise had primarily selected opponents that fit his risk management strategy, not fights that real fans want to see. Sure he has his typical brain dead groupies that would be willing pay to watch him fight a local fruit vendor, but he’s failed to capture the attention of the masses that these dates used to previously hold.

you wouldn't have a face to queef on

yep - Mexican fanbase. He did unify 168 when it was a weak division - so there is that. You could say he beat triple G in the 2nd fight.

watch Canelo's debut professional fight on YouTube - the fans were literally shouting "Canelo, Canelo, Canelo". Baring in mind this was a guy who had no amateur fights so they would've had no way of really knowing who he was yet they were already aligning themselves with him. There is literally no other reason for that other than him having red hair. To be sculpted into the face of boxing largely because of your hair colour is a disappointing low for the sport.

hmmm. well I know Andrade vs Benevides was Def for wbc mandatory and that only been 8 months or so.

[Poopdick]

He won his final eliminator 3 years ago beating Ellis. The wbc and the fat fcuk Sulaiman kept putting up more eliminators after that. They knew they needed to protect Ginger. Hell, they were more than likely in cahoots. Cowards

oh I see. yeah hell i forgot all that. my bad.

Post Fishnets, the non heavyweight cash cow has fought on those dates.

Unless someone can show Tank has surpassed Canelo as the cash cow, which I highly doubt, Canelo still gets those dates.

[PBR Streetgang]

I still can't wrap my head around what exactly it is that makes Canelo the face of boxing. Previous cash cows always had something distinctive about them; they beat a legend to inherit that position. they were perhaps extremely charismatic, they ran with a obnoxious persona that pushed fans to tune in to see them lose, they always participated in entertaining fights or perhaps they achieved great things politically outside of boxing. Canelo DOES NONE OF THESE THINGS. His fights are relatively dull affairs, there is nothing to particularly like about him and he is a convicted cheater...

I can only assume he is the face of boxing because of the work Goldenboy and Richard Schaeffer did in building his name and because he is a fair skinned Mexican with red hair.

On a side note Cynthia Conte is ***in smoking, I'd happily swim through an ocean of PH 1 sulphuric acid so she could queef in my face for 1 second

Red hair and freckles?

[thack]

Benavidez would have been a tougher foe that's for sure. Still a good fight though..

[rickJen]

Maybe he's the only one that consistently fights twice a year.

[just the facts]

Jose if Munguia is not a threat, why was your son negotiating to fight him. You are hurt to the Kulo that your son and you have a big mouth and will never get a shot for disrespecting your king Canelo!

You’re defending cowardice. Benevides has earned his shot in the ring.
