Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez keeping cards close to his chest in the 'Canelo' stakes

[champion4ever]

FINALLY! Someone besides me sees that Alvarez's record is a carefully planned one, where the threat of losing was hardly ever present. On the surface, he looks like this ATG Mexican warrior but after closer observation, a discerning eye sees that he's just a very good cherry picker.

Not only that but he will always be very difficult to defeat until he is randomly drug tested.

If he does and he is clean. Then Bud would whup his ass. However, If Canelo decides not to do random drug testing.

Then Terence Bud Crawford won’t stand a chance against him.

All of these mof0s acting like if they know boxing, and they are eating their chili beans with corn bread sitting in their mama’s couch in the basement! You guys don’t $h17 about boxing! Criticize Canelo, look at all the previous ones that called themselves great and how many softies they had! GTFOOHBS with all these comments acting like if you guys know the inside of boxing! You mor0ns don’t have any idea how this is handle and why it’s handle the way it does. Couch potatoes M0f0$!

You could be right ngl, but still Mbilli had tough test in Dervy whos always a tough pill to swallow for any fighter his weight. Canelo is aging and on the final stages of his career so all those are important factors to consider versus younger, hungrier fighters.

Fair points!

CrimsonFalcon I didn’t miss the point rather you missed mine .I’m pointing out that even the most highly regarded boxers of all time have weak spots in their resumes.And they’re judged on the totality of their careers as will be Canelo.Now apparently you mean Benavidez as the #1 contender but who is #2 ? Morrell ? If you are claiming Canelo avoided Morrell then I can’t take you seriously.

If the haters are correct Canelo has ducked everyone with a pulse, or who once had a pulse, including Joe Calzaghe, Carl Froch, Jake LaMotta and Roy Jones Jr.

Ducking Benavidez is enough.

Ducking Benavidez is enough.

an inconvient fact... Benavidez did not exercise his mandatory fight with Saul. The WBC gave him a choice, fight Alvarez or fight the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev. Benavidez twice asked for an extension to decide between the 2 choices. Ultimately he passed on fighting Canelo and became the Bivol v Beterbiev mandatory instead.
