Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer Laughs: We Will NEVER Fight Willie Monroe!

[Ce1ska]

Saunders is fighting at the end of October
Does anyone even know where Andy Lee is?
Canelo can't cut off the ring and own Monroe like GGG. People will compare the two and Canelo will look bad.
Avtandil Khurtsidze No idea who that is so probably.

Maybe he can fight WBO #10 ranked Antonio Margarito instead

[World Champion?]

If the plan is really to stage Alvarez's next fight in December in NYC, Golden Boy/Canelo Promotions need to find a matchup that makes some kind of sense locally, limiting the options:

-Billy Joe Saunders (WBO 160 champ, East Coast location makes it easier for UK fans to travel)
-Andy Lee (Irish boxer, a play for the Irish American fanbase in the Northeast) -Willie Monroe Jr (**** style, but his roots in NY should help business a bit)
-Avtandil Khurtsidze (near no profile, but an exciting style matchup, also based in NY)

A Lara rematch could work (as a pure play to the core boxing audience in NYC), but the business that that fight does, unless Golden Boy can partner with some NY-based matchups to goose the audience, we'll see.

edit: completely forgot about Curtis Stevens (the profile of that fight is bunk, but Stevens has a name in NYC and fights in a style that would make for a good fight).

Stevens is more and more likely the more I think about it

I would've said Saunders would be next but he is fighting in late October (supposedly) so I doubt he will fight again 6 weeks later. Another name I thought of was Tureano Johnson considering it will be Canelo's first fight at 160. Personally I would like to see a Stevens or Lemieux fight but I'm assuming one of those will be happening next year.

Last night showed just how awful Monroe is. Had his hands full with a beyond shot Rosado and still couldn't hurt him or even put on a show.
I thought I saw talent in the guy once but I'll fully admit I was dead wrong.

Canelo should go after someone of substance; Jacobs, Eubank, Saunders. All fights he'd win. If he wants a tuneup, fight Lemieux. Easy fight and hbo did a nice job hyping David up in his last outing.

monroe had his hands full LOL put down the pipe boy. monroe easily outboxed rosado

With Saunders' next fight already 6 weeks away, with no one announced for the fight, my guess is that Warren lines up some soft-touch euro fighter, as a live sparring session before taking a more serious fight.

The risk for a cut/injury is always there, but having an 8-week camp to get fit (before fighting some soft touch), and then having a hard 6-week camp to prepare for Alvarez isn't unheard of.

it looks like ducknelo just ducked monroe.we all know damn well that if rosado won he would fought ducknelo next.monroe has the style to make the red headed hoe look bad and team fishnets wants no part of that.

Exactly when and how did Monore look impressive, relaxed, or did he have Rosado hurt? Go ahead and explain yourself.
If it was "easy" for him, why did he look pathetic the whole time? Monroe certainly won by a mile but he looked like he gave it all he had, without ever hurting the opponent or impressing anyone, and that was truly sad. You are sadder for trying to pretend that wasn't the case. (hint; you're being very transparent)

Monroe is shlt. Kinda reminds me of Floyd. Boring as well to watch

[Progrssive_Jedi]
