Comments Thread For: Canelo Eyes Late March Return, Three Fights in 2014

[TBOGGS78]

I wonder will people call Canelo a hypocrit like they did Floyd. In one sentence he says I won't do a catchweight again because I learned from the Mayweather fight not to give advantages but then goes on to say I'll fight Martinez because they can fight at a catchweight because Martinez is willing to fight lower than 160. That's still a catch weight right???????

lara wont do ****

i still want canelo vs lara to shut these idiots up

cotto just fought a bum and everyone thinks he can beat money now.

The guy really captivated me in the lead up to the Floyd fight. I hope he can prove he is the real deal and get some good wins next year.

interesting to see who he fights

"I've learned not to put myself at a weight disadvantage anymore. BUT I want to fight Sergio Martinez at a catchweight."

Canelo (who came at 172 lb in the Trout fight) wants to lure Martinez below 160... Alvarez must be afraid of Sergio as he wants the badly injured old man to fight under the middleweight limit...

Good idea, thought he had a respectable performance...didnt show the outward passion a lot had hoped but I thought he stayed with floyd for most of the fight..mayweather, among other things, is just a master at scoring the fight he is taking part in, he makes sure to rise to whatever level it takes to win almost every round. its amazing. it was a great opportunity for canelo, hoped he learned something from the fight.

Why does Canelo need a tuneup? He came out unscathed fighting the smaller dude. He lost to Mayweather. So what? You don't need a confidence builder after something everyone expected.

Canelo needs rest in order for GBP to carefully assess his future career steps. The FMJr fight actually resulted in a serious setback.

Angulo is a tuneup now?Now canelo cant get a easier fight after
fighting two tough back to back fights?Cotto,lara,nonito,manny,chavez
marquez ect can get easy fights after loses but not canelo.

Good point.

Exactly! Mother ****er just got paid vs Floyd. Time to man up and fight some tough guys regardless of their drawing power or whatever bs he wants to say. Cotto and Sergio been putting in Work for a while, let them fight and cash out. You go fight Lara.

He just fought two tough guys away from home, Trout and Mayweather.

Its funny people saying Canelo should have lethis hands go against Floyd more from the couch. I'm quite sure if that would have worked for Canelo he would have done it.

Canelo is more of an accuracy puncher. To beat Floyd he needed to show something different, i.e. activity, pressure and mobility - but he didn't, same Canelo.

I wonder will people call Canelo a hypocrit like they did Floyd. In one sentence he says I won't do a catchweight again because I learned from the Mayweather fight not to give advantages but then goes on to say I'll fight Martinez because they can fight at a catchweight because Martinez is willing to fight lower than 160.

Canelo never talked about wanting his opponent to be comfortable. There is no hypocrisy.

[MDPopescu]

lol. Would like to see Canelo call out GGG for a CW fight.

Right. Golovkin already said he would go down for a Floyd fight at 154.

[MDPopescu]

He was sluggish due to weight drain, genius.

As Canelo "was sluggish due to weight drain", therefore other geniuses may understand that Canelo can easily fight at 160 (he walked 172 in the Trout fight).
