Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn on Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov and Riyadh Season

[Clegg]

With Canelo, he selects fighters on the styles that he likes. I genuinely think that's why he chose Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. He likes guys that come forward and fight him. I don't think he likes facing fighters who move. His body is probably not quite what it was. When Jermell Charlo ran off the back foot, Canelo didn't like it or enjoy it. He wants someone that comes to fight. He'll fight anyone.

But Benavidez would come at him all night and that's the fight Canelo is most scared of. At 175, Canelo chose Kovalev who was too shot to keep attacking, and Bivol who is a boxer-mover, rather than the most aggressive guy, Beterbiev.

The bizarre logic of Canelo defenders though to be fair to Hearn, he makes his money from saying illogical and dishonest things. Whereas the Canelo fans on here do it all day long for free.

On a side note, any word on Scull's whereabouts?

He’s ordered to fight for the vacant IBF title
The same one that got rightfully stripped from Canelo

[MulaKO]

Anyway , Slow Eddie is just a nuisance
Always the same story trying to hype something that just isn’t there
Comparing Madrimov to Bud is just ridiculously and utterly wrong
Praying on beating a fighter because of difference in size just doesn’t make you the better fighter
At least not for me

I wish someone would press him on WHY he wants Ennis to unify at WW, when there are better opponents, including Crawford & Spence, at 154? Why not have him fight for the IBF title @ 154, and position Boots for a unification fight @ 154, vice 147?

Against who?

Crazy to think, from nobody to a title shot that quick.

Didn’t Boots already run away from being Bud’s mando once before ???

Nope! BLK Prime never sent the contract, and then went out business, because they lost money on Bud! Lol!

What exactly is "Riyadh Season " ? Do any of y'all know what it's supposed to mean ?

He dismissed his mando to go an alternate route
Not sure what BLK has to do with THAT

How boring Anybody who watched that fight 10 years ago saw that Lara did not try to win that fight, and only tried to survive. You obviously have never saw the fight.

Hahahaha!
