We have got to stop hyping fighters so fast

[Chollo Vista]

im still hyped over jrock.. instead of saying don't hype fighters too soon, we should say don't **** on fighters after only one defeat..one L in boxing is like a death sentence then we wonder why guys at the top cherry pick.

I like this post a lot

yeah dominic wade and monroe recieved the same treatment after they lost to ggg....oh wait they were bums, cab drivers, etc...

[daggum]

also the same people who constantly disparage "power punchers" were the ones hyping up julian williams because he had the reputation as a power puncher(against crap opposition) if only you guys had listened to yourselves!

Canelo had already had 42 fights bro. That was Charlo's first defense. He got the close win against a tricky veteran southpaw

Those fights were from the age of 15 through to 21. That was a very green Canelo (at top level) against a prime Trout.

Charlo is 26 and Trout was faded.

Those fight took place at very different points in all of their careers.

i dont know much about wade but i still think monroe is a problem for anybody not named ggg.. yeah some call him a bum just like a few posters are callin jrock a bum after this loss.

Fans can do whatever the hell they want. Who cares if the fighter they hyped up losses. The show goes on, fans either stick with their guy or moves on to someone else. It's a sport, people are supposed to get excited, pick a fighter to hype and cheer, and enjoy the sport.

What we need to stop doing is advocating for marinating fights. Charlo is 26 years old, this is the time for the best matchups. These guys should be fighting at least 3 top fighters a years. No tuneups and no gimmes.

I know you'll like to think you're some type of wise old man but you're not. You're a boxing fan so stick to cheering the fighter you like and let other hype the fighters they want. That's the way the sport works.

This. Why the hell should people not hype guys up? Because Larry doesn't like it?

We are boxing fans, we are SUPPOSED to hype our young fighters. Fighters don't come out of the gate proven, we are SUPPOSED to be excited by their potential. If anything, we should hype our fighters more, especially in America, where the coverage American fighters get is pathetic.

What an absolutely bizarre idea for a thread.

I guess I just can't help it. If I see a young fighter I think is great and his name comes up in a thread I will say I think he is great. I might be wrong but that's not so terrible. I thought Canelo was something special from day one. My latest favorite is Spence. I know he hasn't done anything great yet but from what I have seen of him I believe he soon will. Another new comer I am very impressed with is Anthony Joshua.

I was so so with Charlo. After the Williams fight I have a lot of respect for him and under the tutorage of his trainer he will continue to strive.

Williams is a good fighter that insisted on this match up and Charlo went for it. Don't know how two young prime undefeated fighters fight each other and the loser gets dismissed so easily

[al-Xander]

I agree with the point of this thread.

[Kigali]

amen to most of what you said but i dont think canelo gives charlo a brutal beatdown if they should fight next year...toss up type of fight even though i slightly favor canelo...if charlo isnt ready for that type of fight now when will he ever be???guys 26 and a title holder talking about moving up to his 2nd weight class...he feels hes ready and thats good enough for me

5'7 Canelo won't go near Charlo.

C'mon now.

When Andrade had a TITLE,Canelo didn't go near him either.

He won't go near Charlo either.
