How is Canelo a better fight RIGHT NOW than Guerrero???

[Frank Ducketts]

lol, what fights did he fail drug tests?

He failed the eye test after being awakened, the CAT scan at the hospital and was told to rest and come back, and the chin test that he's always failed when cracked. You're referring to Check Hooks hero Pac right?

Look, Canelo is a champion, and his resume isn't shabby from ww to sww, and he's grown with each fight. He looks like a big sww to you, but when you see him next to Trout or Kirkland or even Angulo, he will look smaller than those guys.

Canelo came from ww. The majority of his fights WERE at ww I believe. I don't get the impression that Canelo isn't deserving of a fight with Floyd. If I were Canelo, I'd first take my chances fighting Floyd at 154 than a Trout or Kirkland at 154.

He weighed 165 or 167 on fight night against Lopez. He is not a small JMW by any means. Sergio Martinez comes into his fights around the same weight.

Almost all of his recent fights were against older guys who were clearly over the hill.

If I'm Canelo maybe I do take the fight, but there are plenty of opportunities for big money fights in the future.

Also, explain to me why he is deserving of a shot against Floyd?

Neither of them are a better fight than Martinez.

Unless you're a f*ggot who counts fights that make money over fights that reinforce legacy, of course.

I don't care about weight. We have weight classe for that. You make weight, you make weight. I'm more concerned with even matchups. Don't match a Gatti R.I.P with a Gamache.

The Lopez fight shouldn't have been made, but Lopez beat Ortiz, and he wanted the fight knowing that he himself might be too small. Whose fault is that? Guerrero moved up in weight and earned a shot at Floyd's title after a year off I believe, and before that he beat a shot Katsidis for an interim lw title. Who the **** had Aydin or Guerrero beat at ww before they fought each other for Floyds title? Don't talk about who is deserving and who isn't. Those two skipped out of facing a top guy strictly on name and style which happens in boxing from time to time. I don't even mind at times if the division is dead.

The age of fighters is just criticism. Canelo is 22, and a champion. Each fight is a learning experience. We will know if he's being moved at a snails past, or a protective pace. What makes Guerrero more deserving than Canelo can be asked also. I'll accept either fight. Just don't tell me that one is more deserving than the other. Cases can be made for both guys.

Don't box your question in with this "his weight class" question. Canelo has shown pure boxing skills ever since he was at ww.. Canelo has had how many fights at sww? He's demonstrated boxing skills as far back as the Jose Cotto fight.

By the bold it seems clear the logic is beyond you. Jose Cotto was also a career lightweight. Who did ginger show this (pure boxing skill) that you speak of against??

Lol @ the Canelo hype.

If you aren't going to accept my answers then go talk boxing with another closed minded mother****er.

Well red is big for his weight and has looked like a monster against midgets. So there's that. Short answer is that Canelo is being hyped based on what people hope his potential might be. The Ghost has proven more against better competition but hasn't been babied along by a hype machine.

[Frank Ducketts]

Here is what I don't get. Berto gets labeled a cheater, and was called overrated his whole career, but the minute Guerrero beats him, Berto was a live dog, and Guerrero earned his shot at Floyd, lmfao! Who the **** has Aydin beaten at ww? You guys like to criticize fighters that you don't like and ignore others points because all you see is your own point. Just say, Guerrero beat Berto, who has Canelo beat. I'd rather you be real than fake as hell with your logic.

[Motofan]

Canelo shouldn't even be worried about Floyd anyways. Floyd is tiny for the weight. I'm actually surprised Floyd would go along with it. Catch weight a comin....
