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

I can't really fault Canelo for not taking the toughest fights anymore. He did it already for years.

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.

Canelo responded like a boss.

Turki is the one who asked him, he is not the one going begging to Turki.

[Gary Coleman]

And that's just it. Turki needs Canelo, not the other way around.

Crawford talking in the third person is almost as cringe as the turki award presentation.

Turki has put some great fights together but with his intent with little and large was always s.tupid .After Crawford struggled to beat a 10 fight novice at 154 it actually looks ridiculous and nothing more than a money grab.I hope his great start with all his money and ideas don't derail , because as I say the intent there was s.tupid. Crawford and Canelo have great fights in their own divisions ...wake up Mr. Turki , don't spoil the fun now!

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

In reality it’s boxing’s problem that the so called face continues to make shyt fights that only his idiot fan base cares to see. The Saudi’s have given boxing fury vs Usyk and have beterbiev vs Bivol while canelo has lined himself up to face Berlanga while ducking the most significant fight he could make in 6 years. Who is the one that’s really good for boxing in this scenario?

Usually, Canelo's arrogance is off putting. But at least he isn't licking the guy's boots like everybody else in boxing now.
