No not out of goodness of heart, but out of pure balls and mexican pride something that is more important now a days with so many ducking the toughest tests in their own division...and Canelo has shown he has plenty of that even against the advise of his own promoter
No because they were the best available options to him.
Lara could not sell out a family BBQ, cmon man, be fair. Lara made 1 million dollars when you know damn well he did not generate a million. Canelo could have easily fought someone else and made more money.
Justify a PPV? He fought Angulo on PPV!
Who else was he going to fight? Carlos Molina or something? Lara called him out at the post-fight, there was some hype behind that fight. There was no other fight he could take that would justify a PPV. There's a reason why his next fight isn't on PPV.
I hate to be cynical but who wouldn't fight Floyd Mayweather? And as for the Lara fight, there wasn't really anyone else out there that could justify the PPV after Cotto decided to fight Martinez.
Don't get me wrong, they were both the best match-ups to take but lets not pretend he took them out of the goodness of his heart.
My point was more his willingness to fight 3 of the best boxers in the world as being a testimony to him not saying that he will take a fight and not actually do it.
This kid is a throwback..fights for the glory and his legacy..he won't duck anyone.. you get more respect taking tough fights and losing then ducking them all together... If only "TBE" knew that lol...
Yet TBE already gave this "throwback" warrior his first L. You sound simple, son.
i would pay the $70 to watch this on ppv. please make it happen. i can't think of too many better fights.
goodboy vs canelo would be scary exciting. it would be an aesthetic fight. both guys are pleasing on the eyes in terms of their styles. canelo wouldn't win, but he'd land. good boy's chin is legit, but it would have to get tested.
canelo's chin is legit, too. he got frustrated against floyd because of the speed and counterpunching, but he was sturdy as hell, even at 152 lbs and drained.
Will be nice to see canelo as a filled out 160lber. It's clear that's where he should be fighting right now
I'd love to see him test the waters vs guys like Vera, Rosado and stevens. Exciting fights right there
