Comments Thread For: Chavez: I Was Inactive, Injured, Didn't Train - So Canelo Picked Me

[Gillie]

Canelo always needs some kind of advantage. He admitted it himself, saying he learned it from Floyd. As if fans were gonna be like, oh cool. Most fans hated Floyd, they bought him hoping to see him lose. Funny shiiit is, Floyd didn't game fighters as bad as Canelo. He just waited them out or chose ones no one wanted to see him fight.

Chavez is inactive, hasn't fought top level comp in years, and will be drained. If Canelo doesn't blow through him it's telling.

I think he will blow through him though. Junior might show heart and a chin but ultimately, he is getting stopped.

Yes, the Lara fight is the prime example, but some make an argument for Austin Trout in that fight as well.
Regardless, he was handed those wins and he has a great resume with some very talented and big names in the mix

• Amir Khan
• Kermit Cintron
• Shane Mosley
• Miguel Cotto
• Erislandy Lara
• Austin Trout
• James Kirkland (not really a big or talented name, but good filler)

It's a pretty good list of names and he is adding to it.

I think you have some fair views on the matter but Kirkland shouldn't be on that list. Inactivity and overall lack of talent exclude him from that group imo. But Canelo does have decent resume.

What's interesting (and brought up by Chavez Sr.) is the lack of a definitive/signature win on his record. I think we are all still waiting for him to look special in the ring. Right now he just seems like a very good fighter.

And just being honest, there's no comparison between the level of Mayweather's competition and Canelo's. Mayweather fought and beat better guys by far (off the top of my head, it's like 12 or so legit HOF fighters). We'll see where things go for Canelo. It's too early to know for sure.

Two other reasons he picked you : your slow as walking in cement & you have virtually no defense...

[icha]

They pick me cuz i was inactive, injured??? Really??? Wtf??? This dumb bonehead keeps talking nonesense.. Chavez fought in december and looked in good shape unlike the past, canelos last fight was in september and he had to pass on a december date cuz he injured his hand... this dumb mofo is full of bs, first the vada crap, now he wants to throw ****** excuses, someone needs to tell him to stfu...

[ruedboy]

How??? What did he picks his own ref's??? Judges?? So your saying Mayweather would of lost??? If this or if that was different. If you think your getting RIPPED off or taken advantage of then DON'T do it! If your an IDIOT and DO it anyways HOw the *** can you blame the OTHER guy for your ******ITY???

I'd say Floyd was pretty much the "Honorary Commissioner" of the NSAC. lol Obviously we disagree.

''i was drained.''
''i was inactive.''
''i had to actually train.''
''wasnt able to get high.''
