Comments Thread For: Canelo Ready To Replace Mayweather as Boxing's Face

[sicko]

Disagree DeLaHoya knows that if there any day Hispanics will follow the Hispanic fighter it's these especially since there OUR HOLIDAYS!

maybe not everyone but the Hispanics will follow and that is a HUGE portion of Floyd's audience especially on those days. Floyd knows how important the Hispanic crowd is, which is why he tries to playcate to us so much, but given the choice were not pickin him over Canelo ESPECIALLY if it's not Pacquiao and he continually put on lack luster fights.

I'll be watchin Canelo/Cotto even if Floyd does fight PAC on Cinco de Mayo.

So they all would LOSE because Mayweather will have the Casual American Fans which people overlook and devalue but those are really the fans that drive up PPV Numbers not just Hispanics Alone like so many assume. If that was the case then Canelo vs Angulo Mexican vs Mexican would have done BIGGER NUMBERS. So the only thing they will be doing is split the fans and take PPV Buys away from each other and this is another reason why I don't see them going head to head

The "Future"!

[IMDAZED]

One year ago, over 2 million Americans shelled out $80 to witness Canelo do just what the thread title says. Except he was soundly beaten and looked out of his league. Most haven't returned to pay to watch him again. Canelo-Cotto probably does 500-600k in PPV and beating Cotto in impressive and exciting fashion could turn Canelo into boxing's next biggest star. I don't know if he can do it but I'm dying to find out.

That requires winning Canelo and not just winning beating top guys impressively. Now you can say he has fought top guys and even won against a couple but where they very impressive performances?

Boxing when it comes to being a huge star is about looking impressive most of all, if you don't look the part no matter who you beat people will not believe.

Canelo/Angulo didn't do big numbers because nobody outside of diehard boxing fans know who Angulo is. You need another name to do big numbers just as Mayweather found out when he foughtGuerrero.

Camilla has plenty of time to build big numbers, Floyd never drew near what Canelo is drawing at his age. He also packed the Alamodome with 40,000 people not bad for someone that young in his career.

They will split fans, but that will not affect Canelo as much he is just starting his young career. It will affect Mayweather more because he is the one that likes to brag about drawing.

I think it will happen because canelo/Delahoya want The Mexican holiday dates back, and would only have to compete with Floyd for two more fights. Those dates were originally reserved for Oscar before he retired, and Floyd took them over when he left .

Until now we have had no other option, but if you give Hispanic the option they will pick Canelo.

I don't know why you care anyway, because in the end the fans win if this happens. Puts pressure on both fighters to continually make the fights we want to see. If we're shelling out big money for these PPV's, we should least get to see what we want, and not continually settle for mediocre fights.

Every boxing fan hope this happens, and not care how it affects the fighters. There getting rich off us not the other way around. It's the least we could get out of it.

It's not a Canelo/Floyd thing for me it's how can the fans win.

Boxing when it comes to being a huge star is about looking impressive most of all, if you don't look the part no matter who you beat people will not believe.

That's what happens when you put to top fighters against each other, you will more than likely always get a close fight.

You obviously didn't see what happened when the De La Hoyas, Trinidad's, Quartey, Mosleys all fought each other. That was a very good era and they were all in their prime. The majority of all those fights were extremely close.

Some of y'all act like you've never seen this before. Canelo /Lara could fight 10 times and it would always be very close.

Just like almost all Pacquiao/Marquez fights.

When you put two top biters against each other, majority of the time you're going to get a close fight .

Canelo is still young in his career, and has a long way to go. Stop trying to define his legacy before it has even started.

At least he has the balls to take on the toughrisky fights no matter what, unlike a lot of fighters that like the Dodge each other and take the path of least resistance.

Hard for canelo to replace floyd especially when floyd dominated him...


But if canelo does keep winning, he will take the mantle from floyd and manny once they retire

[hitking]

Canelo isn't the future of anything. He's another "star" that boxing is trying to shove down our throats that can't fight worth ****. He's already a lost and arguably two gift decisions into what has been a mediocre career so far.

[SeekDaGreat]

Bunch of haters in here. Canelo is the next biggest thing, like it or not - you WILL deal with IT.

When one of your ***** ass idols comes to FIGHT, holla at me so we can discuss how he got SPARKED OUT. Period.
