Canelo is stuck between a belt and a hard place

Oscar was matching Canelo soft. It was Canelo who told Oscar to knock it off and get him fights with the best fighters around including Lara, Trout and Cotto who his haters said he would never fight. He also tried to fight Martinez. Canelo is no cherry picker. All fighters have some easy fights on their record. If you recall he was trying to fight Paul Williams when Williams was hurt so he had to fight Lopez as a last minute substitute. Williams was a dangerous fight for anybody and Canelo tried to fight him.Remember Canelo's killer streak of Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez, Cintron, old Mosley and 140lber Lopez?
It was such a dramatic change of direction when Canelo stepped up. But I understand your point. Canelo has fought guys that have little of knocking him out, and Oscar can rely heavily on the judges giving Canelo victories in either way fights (a la Trout and Lara). That's not the case with GGG - he's a direct threat as he's well capable of stopping Canelo.
I wouldn't mind the fight at 157, with Canelo having the lions share of the purse. That's pretty fairComment

I don't see anyone taking Canelo out at 154. Canelo has the best resume out of the bunch.
At 160 there's GGG of course. But Canelo chases Quillin and drops him. He soundly beats Jacobs too. No question.

Andrade is certainly one of my favorites, no doubt. But i have no problems being objective about him. I've talked **** about him on these very boards for some of the **** he has pulled in the last couple years. That said. I can see the talent he has, and should Canelo ever fight him, it will be a severe beating for Canelo. You can bookmark it, time stamp it, video tape it, whatever you want, but Canleo will be a victim. Hopefully we get to see it in the not to distant future.Canelo would KO Andrate with ease. Who did Andrade beat who was worth a ****. You won't find any quality fighters like Cotto, Trout or Lara that shot picker do nothing Andrade has defeated. Since you have his picture up it's clear you picked Andrade as your favorite fighter so you are hardly neutral. You have Andrade so overrated it's pathetic. My favorite fighter Canelo would just plain kick the dog **** out of your favorite fighter Andrade. Canelo is a star and rightfully so. Andrade is almost unknown because he hasn't done much at all.Comment

i haven't seen Andrade fight, but some people were saying he is an extremely good fight for GGG when he moves up. what you think? considering how everyone wants GGG to move up because no one is willing to fight him.Andrade is certainly one of my favorites, no doubt. But i have no problems being objective about him. I've talked **** about him on these very boards for some of the **** he has pulled in the last couple years. That said.

If they fought today. GGG likely kills him. Give Andrade a few fights with top 154lbs guys in 2016 and I think he can give GGG a run for his money in 2017.Comment

If Andrade has to settle for a split decision win over Vans then he is not in Canelo's class. Just saying. If Canelo can win a close fight over the best 154 pounder, Lara, then beating Andrate would be easy work for him. Just Saying. Look at the pathetic unranked fighters Andrade has defended his title against. Just saying.Remember Canelo's killer streak of Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez, Cintron, old Mosley and 140lber Lopez?

Andrade has defended his title twice in two full years. One guy was ranked 16th in the world and his last defense was against a guy ranked 38th in the world. He ain't exactly cleaning out the top ten 154 pounders and cleaning out the junior middleweight division. Two defenses against unranked guys in two years is a real pathetic excuse for a champion. Instead of attacking good champions like GGG and Canelo why aren't you attacking Andrade for defending his title only once a year against trash. Oh, I almost forgot, he is black. Every thread you start is trashing some boxer. That's all you do is start threads trashing boxers. I have never yet seen you trash a black boxer.Comment
