Comments Thread For: Wilkens Mathieu: Canelo Alvarez is holding up super middleweight division

[Grimmer]

The super middleweight division has been at a standstill before Canelo. He talks a lot of trash for someone that fights nobody’s himself. Canelo has fought just about everyone and has earned the right to pick and choose who he fights. Didn’t Floyd and a couple of other fighters do the same in holding the divisions hostage. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years this guy is up there doing the same .

Yeah but he's waaaay past the point where he should be fighting the Skulls of the world.

NOBODY should have the right to pick and choose while holding a belts or belts, etc.

MulaKO, not disagreeing with the guys statement about keeping the division and belts hostage. What I’m saying is that all these fighters and fans alike are putting the blame on the wrong people. You want to blame someone go and blame the sanctioning bodies. They know how much money Canelo and other fighters bring in like the Floyd’s, Davis, and others bring in. The sanctioning bodies don’t want to lose money so they allow this to happen but allow the blame to fall on the fighters. I just think is BS but that’s boxing corruption at its best. Cheers!

This goes way back
Check out the belt in the garbage incident
Anyway still a question of pride in what you do
Yes it happens but when it happens constantly then I let lay the blame where it may

Not a fan of ginger but he isn't holding up anything. In the last years he fought Ryder, Munguia, Berlanga..all are 168 guys. Munguia and Berlanga are top 10. Next fight us Scull top 10 guy at 168.

It would be much better at this point if Canelo just retried or gets upset after showing up old in a fight sometime soon.

Drop the belts and he can do wtv he likes
Then there won’t be a reason to biatch about him
I’d be all for that
