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

They are going at each other and they have a history. They are doing what they can to promote the fight. ODLH is more famous than Munguia so he is doing what he can because he has became shameless.

Shameless is pissing dirty and ducking Benavidez while claiming he hasn't done either
Shameful is gettin yak'd out and dressing as a puta

Prime Oscar might've outpointed him, but no version of him mops the floor with a prime Canelo.

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

Oscar got beat by Felix Sturm in his prime. He also got beat by Mosley in his prime.

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

I believe that Canelo was an overall better fighter as a JMW and MW (however brief his MW campaign was) than as a SMW, even though those SMW belts are his top credentials. If I had to pick one fight where I believe Canelo was at the peak of his prime, I would probably say the Cotto fight to win the WBC MW belt. Canelo never fought at WW (Oscar's best weight), but he was certainly a better JMW and MW than Oscar. The most reasonable fantasy matchup has them meeting at JMW. I won't argue too fiercely with anyone who says prime ODLH beats prime Canelo on points, but its pretty close to absurd to argue that Oscar stops Canelo. Canelo stood up to far bigger punchers than Oscar. If anybody is getting stopped in that fantasy matchup, its definitely Oscar, maybe to the body.

Idk about that, but Canelo isn't a Spaniard anyway.

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.

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.

Really? He looks Scottish to me.
