Comments Thread For: Canelo on De La Hoya: If He Had Come Closer, I Would Have Punched Him

[TheOneAboveAll]

The canelo that fought cotto would have a hard time against a prime oscar!! Ya seem to forget how good oscar was because after he retired, he started doing some g@y shiieet so mofos wanna disrespect him but the truth is, oscar is a better boxer than canelo will ever be.

I remember Oscar's career. He had a HOF career, but his overall skills and particularly his ring IQ were not greater than Canelo's. That's no disrespect to Oscar, but he lost focus and made costly tactical mistakes in his biggest fights.

i disagree!! in fact, those are what I had oscar over canelo!! like i said, most people dont seem to remember prime oscar, they only want to remember the washed up fishnet dela coka.

at no point in canelo's career that he display higher level skills than oscar!!! like oscar said, canelo cant even throw his hook correctly! LOL..

Really? He looks Scottish to me.

Or Irish

My position with Canelo is that he had and still has to face Benavidez. I have been consistent with that and that is one of the biggest fights in boxing today. I don't like that he has been the mandatory for so long and yet has gotten a chance to fight Canelo. Benavidez has right all his wrongs and has beaten to opposition impressively.

I will not give a pass on Canelo if he ducks him. I already have one foot off his bandwagon and if he fights Berlanga next I am completely off.

When you find out Morrell has actually been his mandatory longer than Benavidez, your gonna flip out

Oh, gosh. Maybe one day you can get on a zoom call and demonstrate the proper hook technique to him.

Sanctioning bodies are not doing their job. They rather Canelo defend so they can collect on their sanctioning fees than enforce their own rules.

If yiu think Oscar was in his prime when he fought Sturm, I got some beachfront property to sell you in Vegas

————
Oscar was 31 when he fought Sturm. He was 29 when fought Mosley.

When EXACTLY was Oscar’s prime?

This is the same malarkey when people cherry pick Pacqiao’s prime - first they say it’s 2000-2003 then he was off his prime until 2007.
Then the next phase was from 2008-2012. After he was brutally KO’d in December of 2012, conveniently he was no longer in his prime.
In 2019 he beats Thurman and wants to fight Spence, the man is back in his “prime”.

The beach front property is not a mirage apparently

canelo got paid well under GBP. I dont even like ODLH but canelo is being a diva. he was mad they wouldnt give him 50 million dollar fights during peak covid to fight bums, like wtf were they supposed to do when the government banned gathers, the money wasnt there plain and simple

[james240]

what version is prime canelo? the one that fought GGG? floyd? ... prime for prime, oscar stops canelo.

The Nelo that battered GGG in the 2nd fight was imo at his absolute peak nobody beats that 168 version of Nelo.
