Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Khan Winner Becomes The Man' In Boxing

[about.thousands]

If Khan somehow pulls this off he becomes the lineal middleweight champion Lawd Hammercy. Canelo & Cotto have made a mockery of the middleweight division. Complain about Floyd's supposed cherry picks. Complain about Manny's catchweights. But those two dudes never made a mockery of the sport the way Canelo & Cotto have.

I wish Oscar would stop telling people what Canelo is and make him prove it by taking the fight everyone wants him to take. Enough of these bs fights vs no hopers like khan, Kirkland and angulo and enough of the obviously shady 10 rounds to 2 scorecards in close fights. Make the only fight that matters and stop suckering these gullible fans.

Kovalev-Ward winner is the man in boxing.

[WesternChamp]

so if canelo beat khan as expect, he becomes "the man"?

[Outwest Exp 355]

This fight has actually lost some of its luster since it was announced.

[SugaROIDS]

If Canelo is The man he will go up to middleweight and face the man of that weight class instead of picking a 140 pounder guy

[Mr.Fantastic]

He's kinda right. Boxing needs to step up.

I like this fan-friendly fight, but lets not get things out of proportion. Canelo-Golovkin winner or Ward - Kov winner could be man. Or HW who unifies again, say Joshua beating Fury and Wilder.
Winner of Canelasso and Khan - forget it.

Everytime that ODLH pronounces on Canelo I have the feeling that the GGG fight is kicked further down the street. I could see 2018/19 now. Hope I'm wrong.

The winner of Canelo vs. GGG is the man in boxing until someone unifies the LHW division! This is why I think it would be very ****** for GGG to refuse to fight Canelo @ 155! I know it sucks, but the reward is definitely worth the risk!

I got no problem with the fights they have taken - just not for the MW championship.

Would be nice to see the alphabet groups given a taste of their own medicine. I would like to see an oversight commission with the power to strip these money grabbing org.s of the right to hold weight division championship fights unless they put proper ratings lists together and get proper match-ups made.
