Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer: Three Fights For 2017, Maybe First at 158

First of all judging who has a better resume in this era in useless except for the top 3-4 guys because mostly it's like comparing dog**** to bull****. 95% of the boxers are ducking so very few develop good resumes except for the cash cows who have a huge advantage in that regard because they can take their pick of everyone who wants to fight them. For example Canelo had the option to fight Lara because Lara wanted that fight so bad, he came to Canelo's fight and interrupted the press conference. GGG does not have the same options because Lara just talks about GGG but won't come to the press conference or fight on HBO.

Secondly, even with that built in advantage, Canelo's resume sucks. He lost 10 rounds to Floyd. Is that supposed to be a notch on his resume? Because he was willing to fight Floyd? Well I guess Robert Guerrero has the best resume in boxing too because he was willing to face not just Floyd, but Thurman, etc. It's not like GGG wouldn't be just as willing to fight Floyd and probably not lose 10+ rounds either.

Canelo fought Trout and Lara even. Those were pick-em fights. Trout hasn't proven himself an elite fighter except for that one Cotto win, which maybe Cotto was not as his best. It was post-Margarito/Pacquiao, pre-Roach Cotto. Fighters like Chocolatito get knocked for moving up in weight and winning a fight 8-4 against Cuadras, but Canelo is supposed to get credit "beating" smaller men 6-6?

Who else has he beat? Beating Cotto at 155 when Cotto was just about to go down to fight Marquez at 150? That proves he's still a welter/jr middle. Cotto is also an older 35 with lots of wear and tear. That fight was also less than a dominating performance.

So yes, Canelo has some nice names on his resume, just like Pacquiao and Mayweather were able to get old Mosley to fight them because of their drawing power, but that doesn't mean **** honestly. And out of those four names, one he got dominated, and two he fought to what should have been draws, and the third he won 7-5 or 8-4. It's the most overrated resumé in boxing.

LMAO Draws??? With No Heart I QUIT Trout! Dude KNEW he was losing and did JACK SHT about it.

And I saw the Runaway Bride Lara fight LIVE. and saw and HEARD those body shots that Canelo landed. Casual fans like u always ignore body blows. He pissed blood for days after that fight. In between rounds his corner was numbing his body good.

158 lol. at this pace his body will be ready for 160 in about 3 years.

[RussB23]

Just go up to 160 already you oversized ginger and atleast fight lemule. This dude is so scared to fight someone his own size its pathetic.

[IMDAZED]

How can you defend this? He had plenty of time to get acclimated to 160. But he decided to duck GGG then play it off by killing themselves to make 154.

You have a strange definition of defending.

[GenoB23]

I don't see the big deal, assuming it's a title fight a win makes him a five time champion in four different weight classes (154, 155, 158 and 160). Dude is just trying to make history, let him live.

He was also a welterweight champ

Does this kid even think before he speaks? 158!? He already comes in heavier than GGG when he weighs in at 154/155! What a joke!

Newsflash to Canelo....You're a MW! All you need to do is not starve/dehydrate yourself down to 154 and instead cut less weight.
