Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo-Khan: Remember Sugar Ray Beat Hagler?

[LOCOMEX89]

Please stop with the comparisons Oscar. First you compare it to your fight with Pac. Yet Canelo isn't on drugs and isn't drinking like you where in your camp. Also Canelos entering his prime. Secondly Khan is no Pac.

Now your comparing it to Sugar Ray vs Hagler. Stop the madness. Neither fighter has the skill as either of those all time greats.

Bernard and crew please talk to Oscar. He has put together a very good product but he's getting in his own way with these ridiculous comparisons.

Him and Hopkins are bad salesman. Hagler and Lenard were on two very different levels than Canelo and Khan. Anybody with half a brain knows that

It's funny because yeah, the comparison sounds right, but when you brake it down, it's so fhuking ******. Just like to point out Leonard's chin wasn't made of grandmas 100 year old china.

SRL vs Hagler is not a good example.

I just wish that Khan's chin can withstand Canelo's punches.

your right sugar ray wwas smarter not trying to judge but kahn is 2 brave forhis own good a man that hade a questionable chin and when on to do gerat things h.o.f. career all time great was tommy hearns went from jr.welter or welter unti cruiserweight i believe and beat virgil hill for light heavy title impresively.his chin was alsoquestionable but he was smart an guide by the greatest trainer or 1 of the greatest ever manny steward.the only difference was his tremendous power and he was smart kahn doesnt fight smart its possible tomove up2 weight clases and sucdeed like andre ward in olimpics forced to fight bigger men in l.h. div and succeeded but i think kahn style alone isno configurated to last manyyears so its possible to succeed but iot depends on the smartness of fighter somethiong kahn lacks.

Hagler got Robbed

no he didn't ...it was close fight but leonard did enough to beat him.....

This fight has no comparison what so ever to hagler -leonard....people forget leonard was working out a whole year before he faced hagler...he built his weight and legs up gradually....he was also a full blown welterweight who had boxed at 153lbs jnr middlweight against kalule, he was also when he retired the number 1 p4p champion in the world and when he retired he was considered almost unbeatable at his own weight class...He was king of the hill when injury forced his retirement....his chin was far superior and besides tasting the canvas one time for a flash knockdown during his first comeback against Kevin Howard in 1984 he had never been dropped as a pro...as for Khan he's been Ko'ed by B grade fighters ..Prescott...knocked down by journeymen at and taken to hell and back by gatekeepers...leonards resume exceeds de la hoya,Kahn and canelos put together and its a f@ckin insult to even mention this phony fight in the same breath as hagler vs Leonard...that truly was one of last great matchups and fights
