Comments Thread For: Canelo Not Heading To Middleweight Any Time Soon

[PeasantCrusha]

canelo fought the best fighter on the planet in his early 20's. he fought trout when he was considered a risk. fought lara when he was considered a risk.
alvarez has not been coddled to the degree that most of you claim.

he's certainly not a *****. this "all or nothing" rhetoric in bscene needs to stop.

he's a middleweight fighting junior middleweights, and should be criticized for that. that doesn't make him a "pusy."

Agreed. It makes him a Mexican warrior.

Some of you guys need to wake up and smell the coffee. If it's a non title fight they're allowed to come in a pound over. Do you guys even watch boxing? Have you ever heard of Premier Boxing Champions?

you all consider canelo a MW cuz he has 3 fights at 155, but then failed to realize that the others have even more fights over the limit than him, Lara, kirk and perro all had fought over 154 before but you still consider them jmws, but if it is canelo then he is a MW....
bad canelo, bad canelo...

It's funny how people bring this up. Coming up guys fight at catch weights all the time. Errol spence prob has more catchweights than canelo too. But when you're at this level pick a division

and guys like lara, perro and kirk are coming up guys?
that is my point people say canelo is a MW fighting JMWs , but dont realize that those jmws had fought more than canelo over the 154 limit...

I think he is just waiting for the Cotto fight. after that he will go to middleweight. his body is getting bigger and 155 is gonna get harder to make. I give it 2 fights before he goes up.

As a Canelo fan, this **** is getting old. Stick to 154 or move up.

[PeasantCrusha]

I think the comedy/duck aspect is Canelo thinking 155lbs is not MW.


It's as if he convinced himself, that being at 155lbs, shields him from fighting GGG. He clings to this belief when he says silly things like, "when I move up to 160lbs" as if 155 and 160 are two distinct divisions.


Is Nelo slow?

It would be nice to see him come in at 154 every so often, but Caneloweight is not that big of a deal even if it is a lot of fun to talk **** on. Honestly the problem isn't even the weight, it just reinforces the whole idea that he works hard but is not willing to go that extra mile.

Guy is a good boxer, but I just don't see the drive to be more than he is. He is still young maybe he gets it, but I don't think he has got that concept yet.
