Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez will fight William Scull on May 3rd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Too, true

But is it worse than the other p4p contenders ?!?!?
I listed their last 6 opps.

Obviously. Just because you're too ignorant to know the fighters and don't follow the division doesn't make them bums. Inoue, for instance, fought the #1 and #2 ranked champions in his division to go undisputed in his divisional debut, one of whom was #10 ranked P4P at the time, and the remaining guys except late replacement Kim in place of #4 ranked IBF/WBO mandatory Goodman were all the other guys in the top of the division. Canelo, after losing his cojones to Bivol, has only fought Ryder and Berlanga in his own division. Berlanga was the mandatory to his own WBA mandatory in Morrell, who was mandatory since January 2021. Benavidez was mandatory since May 2022. The fact that you don't understand the difference there says everything.

Turki wants Crawford - Canelo to be for the Undisputed Championship. Canelo gave away the IBF to Scull last year so he could claim this fight with less scrutiny compared to if it was a title defense. It is not much deeper than that... Canelo will forever be ducking Benavidez btw. If it quacks, it's a duck

[BoxerFreddy]

He's not that good. He will get battered by virgil

like Virgil got battered by Serhi?

So Benny got “scared” after being the mandatory for three years? Three years calling Canelo out while Canelo fights 154 guy, Munguia, Ryder and Berlanga. He now fights Scull.
The most absurd logic I’ve heard here.

Yep he had the chance, pooed his pants and moved up.

The number of punches thrown and landed doesn't strictly determine if a fight is good or bad. That's not the usual criteria I'd use anyway. Sure sometimes low punch output can highlight an exceptionally boring fight, like Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury, but it's not always the case. Scull has a good all round skill set, and his last opponent was luckily a pretty decent choice as a tune up before Canelo. Just by chance for Scull but should be good prep as a gradual step up.

Shishkin was undefeated, a decent puncher with a good jab, constantly feinting, pressure fighter. Scull fought wise, mindful of defense, utilizing good punch selection. Canelo is a another level though, and he should be able to get Scull into situations that Shishkin couldn't. It'll probably start off cagey and tactical but could develop into an exciting fight with both fighters exchanging. And for Canelo, Scull is actually a good choice of opponent as a tune up for the Crawford fight, instead of a plodder like John Ryder for example.

You are giving scull a lot of praise for losing to shishkin lol. That was a horrible robbery. Scull sucks and was fighting in 6 and 8 rounders the last couple years for a reason.

Boo hoo. They both got scared and ran away to the LHW division. Now that they've fought each other, who cares, it proved how dull they are. They've both been mismanaged, either one of them could of been holding the IBF belt looking to unify for undisputed but f@#ked their chance of doing so.

Canelo went up and did Kovalev and fought Bivol but he's no LHW but he's still got a better resume than both of them at that weight hasn't he.

Demanding Canelo fight at LHW undermines everyone's argument when it comes to Canelo.

The "Monster's" next opp -
David Picasso (30-0-1, 17 KOs) (whoopdeefckingdoo.....................)

Usyk vs DuBoy (Yay.........)

Bud vs some bum ?

Biv vs Beter 2 is the best match up

After Nelo dispatches Scull, I'm hoping he goes after the winner.

The only obvious reason for Turki wanting this imo , is to have a unified fight as they are trekking along
That goes to show how secure cinnamon’s victory Scull is but they don’t wanna call it a mismatch
Lmao , bookies already have Canelo at -$3000
Brutal

But that wouldn't explain why Turki was wanting to negotiate with Ginger last year, weeks before his fight with Berlanga. Ginger was stripped of his IBF title for choosing to fight Berlanga instead of Scull..

Yes, the Scull fight is a mismatch..

[MulaKO]

You claimed Ginger was already ruining Turki's reputation with by fighting Scull. How in the heck is that happening when it was Turki who C-ock blocked the Jake-Ginger fight and presented Ginger with a 4 fight deal and the very first fight Turki is paying him for is the Scull fight?? That S-hit Scull fight is all Turki's doing.

It is Turki who has been calling out to Ginger in the hopes of getting him to fight during Riyadh season, not the other way around.. Ginger vs Scull doesn't happen if Turki didn't offer it!
