Comments Thread For: Some encouragement for Canelo Alvarez - from Roy Jones Jr.

He should have vacated a long time ago. He refused to fulfill his obligation when Morrell jr was his WBA mandatory, for three years he didn't even look that way, and two years for the WBC which the mandatory was the most deserving one, benavidez. Please believe what you want and if you think he is fulfilling his obligation against berlanga, good for you. Be safe

Morrell defeated Cazares about 3 years ago for his 5th professional fight. I am pretty certain that Ginger wasn't afraid to face a man who at that time had only 5 professional bouts. I honestly wouldn't think you are of the belief that Ginger was afraid to face someone who had between 5 and 10 pro bouts, but if so, you are entitled to your honest opinion.

As for Benavidez, I'd be lying if I said Ginger wasn't avoiding him.

Actions speak louder than words. He didn't fulfill his WBA mandatory for three years, and if you think berlanga is a better option than Morrell Jr, then we shouldn't be having this conversation, the quantity of the fights mean nothing when you have a great foundation, see Rigondeaux, Robeisy, Lomachenko, Iglesias, Brown and Morrell jr. My opinion mean nothing neither yours because canelo, in conjunction with the alphabet soups organizations has made sure we have no voice, they do whatever they want, like exiling benavidez and Morrell jr instead of forcing ginger to fight them, if that's okay with is you prerogative, I'm not okay with it and there's no justification for it. He wants to fight 2nd tiers fighters at his own leisure and rules, good for him, he has the right to do it, actually everybody has the right to do whatever they wants, they're consequences though, just vacate and keep the line moving and let the division flourish.

Did you know ryder was supposed to challenge Morrell Jr for his WBA regular belt, and the right to be #1 contender and direct challenger to canelo's belt? That was supposed to happen after caceres, Hearn and ryder were ringside to promote the fight, they left without a word and later told that ryder was moving up to LHW to fight bivol. Nothing of that sort ever happened, but two years later he was fighting canelo, don't you see a pattern here?
