Comments Thread For: Leonard Ellerbe: 'I'm Not Buying The Bulls**t That Canelo Is Scared Of Benavidez'

[White-Bob]

It's not fear of Bena..none of these guys are scared..it's more like fear of losing to a particular person he does not like and has a chance

[Oldskoolg]

Ellerbe is a definitely what we in law enforcement called a “company man.”

[The Big Dunn]

I don’t think Canelo is scared either.

Benavidez was on First Take this morning. He made a point that made a lot of sense.

Canelo said Benavidez isn’t marketable, yet wants $150 mil to fight him. David said if he isn’t marketable, how do you expect to make that much?

Fair question.

My guess is they will fight September or next May.

I suppose that makes sense transliterated from your native language.

Leonard Ellerbe, is EVERYTHING wrong with boxing!

The quintessential boxing vampire: A person with no respect for rules of the sport, a willingness to act dishonestly and unfairly in order to gain an advantage without any regard to those that dedicated their entire life and legitimately earned the opportunity denied them. The use of inappropriate criteria in order to obtain an unearned and unfair advantage for the match-ups based upon the amount of money he can skim off the top.

Damn
After reading this article I just realized there's no difference between
WBC President Maurice Sulaiman and
Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe
Both full of constant excuses........

Seriously, one needs to be a hater and or an absolute moron to really believe a multi division multi time established world champion is scared of another man with way lesser accolades and experience (and im not being an ass kisser nor a fanboy) its just kinda absurd this line of thinking in professional boxing at this level, just remember, folks said the exact same thing with Golovkin and yet we got ourselves a fckn trilogy, scared of losing?lol The ginger already lost twice ffs its not like hes undefeated trying to protect his 0.

he ducked ggg for years what are you talking about? he literally dropped his belt and made up a fake division to run away from him. if thats not scared what is? and he only fought ggg when he was 35. that was cowardly. hes been ducking benavidez for years already. he just fought guys like ryder and munguia yet he needs 150 million to fight benavidez? why didnt he need that much for those guyst? hes clearly ducking him and hes clearly scared. you need to ignore all the evidence to say otherwise. canelo lost by decision twice. he doesnt want to be emasculated and ko'd. same reason floyd ducked guys like marg, cotto, and pac. dropping a decision is one thing, canelo can always lie to himself and say he really won like he did with bivol, getting knocked out is hard to recover from when you have a god complex like canelo

Ellerbe's blood boils just seeing Dela Hoya. He found an ally in Alvarez.
But being a promoter means not showing bias to fighters in your stable.
It needs finesse and you don't take sides among your fighters.

He's doing it again here like when he said, "Frank Martin can't beat Tank Davis"
even long before the fight was made. (So why make the fight then?)

[factsarenice]

He sounds like Canelo's puppet, since when did he appoint himself Canelo's unofficial spokesman? I guess he's looking for a job desperately.

My man, just cracked the code!

Lenard Ellerbe is a leach and boxers are the host that he feeds on. At this moment, Canelo just happens to have the most blood.
