They can sing praise for Canelo, but he wasn't able to KO this Puerto Rican who provoked him. This was Berlanga's first title fight, and he was supposed to be KOd easily by Canelo. Que paso Canelo?

Hauser one of the last and best boxing writers in the world. unbiased and unafraid to expose any of these players. Turkey Time!

Turki doesn’t sound any more authoritarian than Dana White does in controlling the UFC - and there’s no videos of Turki slapping a woman (which the media seems to gloss over when it comes to Dana). And can we please retire the phrase “Canelo has earned the right”?

[Nightfall]

At the end of the day clenelo the face of boxing is a cherry picking opportunist coward

[TonyRespectful]

Hauser almost too logical for a Boxing writer. Thumbs up.

Turki and his new toyboy...I mean TC..lol...were both at Noche UFC calling out Canelo to fight next year...The Dictator trying to lure in the ginger with big fat check coming up next.

Uh oh….Hauser has insulted his royal majesty, the honorable, last king of Scotland, master of all he surveys, the ayatollah of rock and rolla, god-emperor, the grand negus, king of the universe, master of ceremonies, worshipful master, king of the ring, his excellency…..Turkei. Now he’s gone and done it. Now turkei will start wearing f his Mexican general uniform with all its medals, cigar in hand, and wax maniacal about how he is the true face of boxing and all must bow before him and kiss his feet.
And of course, the basement dwelling incels will support him

"I'm from the hood in New York. If you're smiling at my face, that's disrespectful.”

fake hood boy wont allow anyone to smile at him, especially his family, they know what will happen if they do, dont even start with that 7/11 cashier who had to call the cops recently

Now that I think about it, Turki has been sounding more authoritarian lately. A part of me felt like, "Great! Finally someone with influence in boxing is calling out Canelo," but I don't know. I do think Canelo is avoiding the challenges fans are clamoring for, but he's earned that right to a certain extent. Granted, he's got the belts so he needs to either vacate or give Benavidez his shot. Turki needs to calm down a bit and if people don't want to work with him, so what? If you do good business and treat others with respect, eventually they will want to work with you. You don't have to force people to work with you. Him throwing out boat loads of cash and thinking fighters will come begging to fight for him makes him look bad.
