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

[The Gambler1981]

That's great, Floyd is a great winner. No shame in losing to a that is notorious for not taking one single risk. End of that story.

Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing. That is the whole story, find a way to win and the more impressive it can be done the better.

Making someone looking like a fool who is trying to hurt you is impressive to most people just so you know.

It is not on the winner to take risks, it is on the loser to do something to change that equation. If that was everything in Canelo's power to win then I have been wrong about Canelo and he will never amount to anything.

Canelo wasn't clowned and every CASUAL FAN i had watching the fight here which was about 20 were disgusted withe way Lara stunk that fight up and blatantly ran all night.

Like I said he is at the beginning of a long career, and as young as he is, he's fighting guys everyone else chooses to avoid or in Floyds situation chosses to just not fight when they are at there best.

Give him a few years before you try and lable his career before it has even started. You act as if were talkiing like his career is over.

I'm a Pac fan but I remember him have extremely close fights with Morales,Barerra, and Marquez. Floyd chooses to fight them on the end of there casreers or conveniantly retires when the division is at it's best and miraculously returns when they have all cleaned each other out or have been in wars that they will never be the same ala Cotto after the Manny, Margarito destructions ( I know Cotto was cheated byMargarito disgrace).

Cotto also one of my favorite fighters been a lot of close wars, but he never backed down from anyone or strategically fought them after there best. Cotto has made a career of being a warrior and that is why he is so beloved,no matter what his record is because record is not the most importabt if you challenge yourself and fight all the best.

All I'm sayin is give Canelo a few years before you decide to LABEL hi entire career. Once again at least he has the BALLS to step up and fight the guys the ans wanna see regardless if it's risky or not, and thats why fans will love him mnuch like Cotto, not weather he's undefeated or not because that is not what fans and boxing pundits care about. They care about defining your legacy rather than protecting it.

You do realize that the Manny-Morales trilogy wad fought slap in the middle of a 1-6 stretch for Erik. Clowney by Zahir Raheem. Beaten by David Diaz. Please STFU. Oh yeah, most of Manny's opponents in yhe last couple years were guys Floyd fought years earlier. So again

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.

Yeah but remember...THEY FIGHT IN AMERICA! So actually Canelo vs Angulo and Canelo vs Lara did not do all that great is because for 1. Neither was American and 2. Neither Spoke English To Actually Grab The Attention Of The American Casuals. Sorry but you look at the All Time PPV Buys and Biggest Grossing Fights In The History Of Boxing, you can't find one that did not include an American Fighter or at least someone that speaks English to hell sell the fight to the American Fans. Pacquiao draws well in America because at least he SPEAKS ENGLISH

NO FIGHTER is going to be a big Draw IN AMERICA without capturing the attention of AMERICAN FANS, SORRY!

I'm a boxing fans so I care because I think it would be a JOKE if fans have to make a choice because fighters, networks and promotions want to stroke their EGOS. I want to see Canelo vs Cotto of course and yes I hope it does put pressure on Mayweather to fight better opponents for the last 2 Fights of his career but NOBODY WINS not even the fans when it is 2 Events at the same time on the same day

I still doubt it will happen but we shall see over the next few month

It's everything on paper, how is Floyd perceived by the people? He's called a b1txh Everytime he leaves his house. Not much respect. Respect is everything. You got **** ****ed up.

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.

This right here is the truth. I just laugh at the ignorance and delusions. Canelo is not a PPV star and he never will be until he actually does something in the ring to earn it.

I didn't say Lara clowned him just to be clear, Floyd clowned him Lara certainly was nothing close to that. Both the Lara and Trout fights were close fights and he clearly did better against Trout. The Lara fight was just bad all around although close. Those three fights combined are just not a good look on him building his star power a Cotto fight could do a lot to change that but that would just be a start he would have to keep that momentum going with impressive performances and based on his track record I think that s a big question mark.

He has plenty of time to prove whatever he wants you are right about that.

[hitking]

Yeah, obviously it Floyd's fault Canelo didnt land punches. If you can't grasp that, then you're a dumber b1tch than initially expected.

So there it is, ya boy sux. I never boxed a day in my life. But if you stand right in front of me. I could hit you in the face. Or at the very least put a hollow point between your eyes.

This right here is the truth. I just laugh at the ignorance and delusions. Canelo is not a PPV star and he never will be until he actually does something in the ring to earn it.

You know, Canelo could have took the route of carefully picking and choosing fights that would make him look good in the ring, and forever be called a coward, fraud, b1txh, ***** outside of the ring like some other fighters we know.

I'm glad he challenged himself. He earned the respect of the people. And that's what it takes. People arent tuning into his PPV to see him hopefully get KTFO.

That's the difference.
