Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez open to Terence Crawford, Jake Paul fights, business with Turki Alalshikh

[BrankoB]

This article and headline is simply click bait. How does this “Now, I’m working on other things. Now, I’m enjoying my family. I’m not talking about boxing yet. So maybe in January we’re going to start doing that.” become some sort of a fight with Crawford, much less one with Jake Paul. All Canelo said was he is not talking about boxing until January...full stop!

Click bait at its finest. All Canelo said is nothing ... literally nothing about boxing or any future fights. It would seem to me that he is gently cruising into retirement.

Good thing American beef isn’t contaminated with clenbuterol. The cattle industry here doesn’t have that as a rampant problem like they do in Mexico.

he must be a bit of a dummy so stuffing his face in mexico with known contaminated meat, a top pro athlete rolling the dice like that

Lol is not like a nutritionist and or a personal chef can distinguish or actually know if meat could be contaminated or not, Contaminated cattle is a real known Public health problem in Mexico in several states if folks here wasn't aware, and we not just talking with Boxers,I clearly remember Whole Mexican Soccer Team (Seleccion Nacional de Futbol) popping for Clen...even members of the Technical Staff , just to bring up one of many most known notable cases with this particular health issue.

The soccer incident you are speaking of was over a decade ago. For over a decade the Mexican athletes have been very well aware of their country's meat being tainted with Clen. Having said that, there should be no reason Ginger or any high profiled Mexican Boxer should be buying tacos off the street weeks before a fight, period. They know of the problem and should not risk it.

You gonna tell me that Ginger can't afford to buy good quality meat from outside of Mexico??? I have a hard time believing that Ginger suddenly gets the urge to park near a street taco vendor to try the tacos because they have a long line of happy customers.....

He's the biggest current boxer in Mexico, he shouldn't be purchasing his meat from Pancho's Meat Market or Paco's Tacos taco truck...

Those were rhetorical questions. Somebody as disciplined as Ginger should never test positive for Clen....

... unless he is actually taking Clenbuterol. I am actually shocked that he failed that test. Athletes with his type of resources usually know how to take illegal supplements and still test clean. They can buy all the best knowledge and help on how to cheat the system. Obviously he thought he needed some extra help to deal with GGG but failed to take all the necessary precautions not to get caught.

For the record, I'm not trying to offend anyone with names like Pancho's Meat Market or Paco's Tacos. I'm from Southern CA and have seen those business names before...

Hard to argue your logical perspective.

Bro keep in mind that problem isn't limited just to the regular street Tacos stand, thats just the easiest way you could catch food contamination for sure bu yet not exclusively ,its obvious the Ginger has been more careful with his food selection ever since as he has remained clean and enrolled with Vada and their drug screenings.

I see your perspective A.B and you raise a valid point. The problem I have is that by the time Ginger fought GGG, he and his team were well aware of the Clen problem in Mexico's meat industry. I find it hard to believe that a boxer as calculated as he, wouldn't be as calculated with what he puts in his body.....

It's all good though and I appreciate your respectful reply....

typical canelo, he saw bud was not so hot in his last fight at 154 so now wants that fight lol

i guess the king has to be sure, doesnt want any more nasty surprises

Doesn't help that multiple other champions from that gym also tested positive, Julio Cesar Martinez for clenbuterol, and later for diuretics and masking agents, and Valdez for phentermine. Not to mention Ryan Garcia, since he'd apparently left Reynoso prior to his positive test.
