Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez on Turki Alalshikh: 'It's his problem, not mine. I didn't ask for a fight'

[HeadShots]

Canelo was fighting for world titles when this turkey mfer was still being breastfed by his aunt (also his mother)

[Phase III]

I said this yesterday, Canelo is not going to bow down to anyone, let alone this clown. It was the Saudi boxing king that made all these wild proclamations about Canelo, but what he doesn't understand, is that Canelo is a man of pride, principle, on that alone, he is going to tell he Saudi boxing king to kick rocks, doesn't need him or his money. Canelo, as is always the case, see the big picture.

I respect any man who stands up for himself. Turkie thinks he can buy anything with money. There are very few people like Canelo who are not afraid to tell Turkie to take his money a F off. I don’t agree with things Canelo does referring yo opponents for his fights. But I respect to the death for his right to stand up for himself against a Saudi bully. Respect!

Where do I start?

The guy who brings people the fights they want by paying top dollar is a bully?

It is somehow honorable for Canelo to refuse mega fights? Why? Why we as fans should defend his right to fight subpar opponents?

Call me ****** but I think Crawford would do better against Canelo than he did against Madrimov. It wasn't Madrimov's size that troubled Crawford. It was his tricky style and speed.

Saudis should fund Mexican fighter cards on the dates Canelo fights on free TV.

Post Crawford underperformance turki trying to position himself and his fighter above belts stating he needs to fight Ortiz, yet Charlo kind his mandatory

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

That’s a soft approach. At ages older than him, Mosley, Floyd and Cotto all fought a young hungry canelo. Now he’s above doing the same? Fk that.

Hard to argue with this post.

Wouldn't call Madrimov a novice there's a reason why he was a world champion after 10 fights.. but the fact Crawford had the issues shows that 154 is probably his ceiling

I agree 154 looks the limit .Even with his vast amateur career Madrimov is still a novice in the professional ranks , a good one accepted but with only ten fights he can't be anything else.

He's not a bully for paying top dollar for fights that fans want to see. He's an egotistical prick for getting his feelings hurt because Ginger wanted to wait till after his fight with Berlanga to negotiate. It's the smart/professional thing to do.

Ginger hasn't refused to fight Bud. Had Turki just waited till after the Berlanga fight to negotiate with Ginger they might have come to an agreement. Had Turki offered Ginger, lets say $75-100 million after the Berlanga fight, well then you might have a point.

Would Bud do better against Ginger then he did against Madrimov??? Maybe, maybe not. We might never know.

Why should the Saudis fund Mexican fighter cards on the dates that Ginger fights on free TV??? To punish Ginger??? That would be silly...

Turki did not shelf the Bud-Ginger fight because Ginger refused to negotiate. He shelved it because Crawford did not look as good as he had hoped.

[Nightfall]

Because alvared is scared of the Benavidez beat down and will never fight him then who will she fight that's worthy? Morell is at 175 and Charlo is done
