Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Took Mayweather Fight Too Soon, Better for It

If a fighter is wearing a belt, he should be ready to fight any opponent in his division.

You talk about saving boxing, don't treat championships like stepping stones. If ypu don't feel ypur guy is good enough to fight all challengers, keep him away from the steaps that should mean something.

If Floyd at 36 could beat Canelo, then GGG at 35 is a big threat because the perception that he is old is a hoax. Stay tuned on 16th Sept.

I like canelo, he's a good boxer but. He got outclassed and embarrassed, Floyd was a surgeon that night.

That's why I respect Mayweather jr even though I don't like him.

Of course! It showed them that they showed go back to the cherry picking ways!

Cherry picking???

This guy is a dummy. He fought Lara and Cotto AFTER Floyd and is now fighting GGG you dope!

[Mirus]

If you're not ready on your 44th fight, you are never ready. Canelo was 23, Tyson was 20 when he won a title.

Well said !!!

You were feeding him ww moving up and small jm you would drain to jm and fight at 175 you always feasted on inferior advantaged fighters even if some had names you came in LH

[bronx7]

You did that until now now it's a real mw and you will probably outweigh ggg fight night. Best man win great fight you will finally hit and be hit by a fair fight Floyds skills embarrassed you

[kushking]

I told everybody before the fight. If Canelo can't beat him, no-one can. I was right. I'm always right.

Like how you claimed all these white hypejobs like kovalev would get destroyed by their opponents like ward,oh wait u said the opposite as well as others like joe smith etc.

Oscar was desperate with his dislike for Floyd so he put his fighter in too soon with his so called blueprint on how to beat Floyd.Canelo was mauled and it cost him .Had Oscar had done the right thing and kept him out of harms way as he did with the GGG match up then he could have used the same reasons of weight match being wrong as he has for so long with GGG.

Oscar is making the same mistake again with his golden egg.GGG will wear even the strong looking Canelo down and maybe even stop him.

I don't believe that Canelo is better for that kind of loss he suffered to Floyd as if he is in that kind of situation again will that come back to haunt him ? Floyd didn't just beat him he took his will away.

Excuses he was pro since 16 and 44-0 when he faced floyd ...floyd wasnt defeated at 23... and believe he was champ at 20 ...tyson was 19... if thats the case lets discredit dela hoyas win against 21 year old fernando vargas...canelo cant handle slick boxers...anyone will look like a monster against stationery targets... lara boxed him and khan was winning every round till he chin let him down again...
