      And to add insult to injury theyve talked aobut fighting Manny who is a small 147 pounder, probably a natural 135pounder, and Tim Bradley who is also a short welterweight, and Smith is also a short 154lb, its a disgrace, i dont think that its Canelos fault tbh, the problem is this lying snake promoter Oscar De La Hoya

        And the only reason for agreeing to fight Lara is because Lara is also short in height, compared to Jermell, Jermall, Andrade, Williams etc

        I think the tallest opponent on Canelos record is Austin Trout...
        Canelo is everything that is wrong with boxing atm

          He needs tune ups at 154 now?
          high risk/ low reward

          IMO andrade whoops his ass.....why fight someone similar to lara but someone who can fight inside, can be aggressive with the same mobility, same speed, better power

          Julian williams would do well against canelo

          Canelo is between a rock and a hard place


          they are trying to avoid those inevitable L's he is gonna be taking from here on when he faces the top middleweights and jr middleweights


          why would a guy at 155 be chasing Manny Pacquaio? he just fought Khan....they are babying this guy

            I dont think he is comfortable at 154. I think he would really struggle to make 154 and be consistent with it. He needs to step up and just campaign at 160.

              Nelo's legacy at the 155 division speaks for itself:



              Angulo - undefeated at 155, #2 in the division
              Lara - undefeated at 155, #2 in the division
              Kirkland - undefeated at 155, #2 in the division
              Cotto - #1 at 155, undefeated in the division
              Khan - undefeated at 155, #2 in the division


              Every single fight he has made at 155, he has fought someone undefeated in that division and who was ATLEAST #2 ranked in the world.

              Nelo has been #1 ranked at 155 for 2+ years now and only dropped briefly when Cotto entered the division until Nelo promptly schooled him.

              Hes 5-0 and handed the first losses to all of these former champions in his fights with them. That is VERY impressive.

                      pretty sure liam smith is undefeated while canelo has one loss. its actually liam smith cherry picking canelo just because he has a big name but can he box at all? the answer is unfortunately no
