The Ring: Whats your thoughts on Maidana-Canelo?

[savorduhflavor]

I have very little interest in this fight. Maidana looks like hell at 147 so the solution is to put him out to slaughter against Canelo at 154?

[New England]

No thanks get a real 154 guy in there ^

andrade is not ready yet, but the kid is going to be an absolute beast when the time comes.

he was an olympian and he won the world's in '07.

i've spoken with him, and he is huge at 154. huge.

Let's not get carried away, his opposition is shitty but it's still better than Rigo's, whom you're riding hard. The worst champ right now is probably Peterson, caught juicing but still allowed to keep his belt.

You took the low road by using Rigo as an example. Canelo and Rigo are NOT in the same position. One guy is a 31 year-old Cuban amateur star who finds himself stuck in prospect limbo, while the other is a 22 year-old red-haired Mexican with the backing of his promotional company who's being called a phenom and the "future of boxing" before actually even achieving anything.

Guys like Golovkin and Rigo get shitted on because "they're not fighting anybody", but look at the crazy position they're in. What happens when the top guys in your division don't wanna take the risk and fight you, or they can't fight you because of the politics? Their career stagnates and there's almost nothing they can do about it.

Oh you brought Rigo up... You're definitely mad. No interest in debating with you.

Canelo The Worst Champ. No Doubt. Start a poll and see who wins.

I'm not mad I'm just telling the truth. Canelo's level of opposition is better than Rigo's. Not hating on Rigo I like him as a fighter, just saying you're going too far when you call Canelo the worst champ in boxing.

I think the guy who almost never fights people on his weight class for his belt is pretty crappy

Crappier than a guy who won his belt by cheating and was allowed to keep it after he got caught?

[RightJabLikeZab]

A trade off I guess.

J. Lopez - career light welterweight
S. Mosley - 40 years old, last fight of career
K. Cintron - most likely last fight of career
A. Gomez - career welterweight
R. Rhodes - career light middleweight
M. Hatton - brother of Ricky Hatton
L. Ndou - career light welterweight
C. Baldomir - career welterweight
L. Cuello - career light middleweight
J. Cotto - brother of Miguel Cotto

Canelo has fought three guys about his size. Mosley and Cintron, two guys on their last legs if they even had any left. Two guys that will never fight again. And Ryan Rhodes + Luciano Cuello, two guys who haven't beaten a soul.

It's too bad Canelo will not fight who it takes to be viewed as a legitimate opponent for Floyd because I think Floyd would struggle with Canelo's power.

Seriously, WTF is Golden Boy trying to do with Canelo's career?

Canelo needs to get Mayweather already, it's the only way this type of match-making will stop. Regardless of the outcome, it's the only way the other fighters will get their shine.
