Someone explain how Canelo is "GREEN"

[NearHypnos]

lol what does all that crap you wrote even mean?

Point is Floyd doesn't give 2 shyts about fighting the best fighters NO ONE disputes that. Hence its irrelevant how "deserving" Canelo is since Floyd isn't going to fight the most deserving opponent any way.

Ok. Let me simplify it for you.

Floyd has nothing to prove anymore, he's the guy, he's come up, beat who he's had to beat, and is at the top of the sport. He can choose who he wants, where he wants, when he wants.

Canelo has not, and this is why HE's challenging Floyd, not the other way around. Simple. Floyd can CHOOSE to fight Canelo, but it doesn't make him deserving. He's unproven and needs to prove he belongs in there with the best. There's a reason NOBODY (that I've seen) thinks Canelo beats Floyd...I wonder what gives us that idea..

There's no way you're this dense. I don't mean to be rude, but come on bro.


I'm going to sleep. <__<..I fell into your trap card. I'm sitting here debating with you on two different threads.

I know the kid is 21 but how is someone with 39 pro fights "green". in his case age is irrelevant, you could be 25 with 20 pro fights. i could be wrong but i've never in my life(im kinda young)heard a fighter with 39 pro fights called "green". seems like only when your about to fight floyd your "green", just like ortiz was. i guess floyds fights have to start comming with 28 year old age minimums. **** is crazy.

point is im looking for a rational explanation. after all im not an expert i could be wrong.

maybe people think he's a Martian not a Mexican. Americans have a reputation for not being too great with geography!!

i think kirklands chin relly makes him vulnerable, on the other hand we havent seen if canelo has a strong chin yet either. imo i think he can take a good shot but thats to be seen. ill give you points for him being unproven but that doesnt mean hes not ready.im impressed so far aside from his defence i like the kid against alot of the name fighters at sww espeacially p-will i think hes ripe for the taking right now imo. to me what canelo lacks in expierience he can make up for with speed,power youth,agression and stamina. my point is alot of people give him a good chance against some of the name fighters out there, hes champ 39 pro fights and his name is hot out there. if he does relly well against mosely espeacially a tko id want to see him with a real name fighter at sww.

Canelo's chin is vulnerable too..

He was almost KO'd by Cotto's FEATHERWEIGHT brother..

If Canelo gos to jail for 2 years and fights Ashida in his second fight back he'd get knocked out too.

I don't think he is green. He is a young, dedicated champion, still learning and getting better. I think he beats everyone at 154 right now.

LOL what you're saying only makes sense if Floyd gave a shyt about fighting the best competition. Floyd clearly doesn't or else Floyd himself would be fighting guys like Lara

Alvarez CLEARLY doesn't care about fighting the best comp....so why are you dogging Floyd??

You should hold Alvarez to the standards you hold Floyd to.

Canelo is an insult to paper champions..

Titles are not for guys "still learning".

The WBC championship is not an affirmative action program for young fighters.

Do you know how poor mexico is? They will give anyone a burrito or a ticket cross border just for stepping in the ring with canelo or chavez...thats how u get 40 fights and remain "undefeated"...

Canelo is GB's cash cow. Is he green?..not sure is he overated I think so. He is exciting to watch, strong, and has fast hands. But he lacks head movement and tends to commit a little to much to his punches. Golden Boy knows that Floyd would play with Canelo, but its a win win situation if he looses people can say well he is young and he went up againts the best and lost, instead of putting him in with say Martinez or Kirkland who might expose his flaws and his stock will go down.

[Hougigo]

I just think he's not worthy of being a champion

[bojangles1987]

come on homie name another fighter in the last decade that was champion and had 39 pro fights that people called "green". you have to admit that the possibility of him fighting mayweather is a factor in people calling him green.

What is with people today? Is everyone expecting Floyd to fight Alvarez and thinking of reasons to pretend it's a great fight for Floyd to take?
