Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Rocky Fielding on December 15 at MSG

[KingKrypton]

Might as well of rematched Amir Can lmao.

[Fanofreason]

All roads lead to Charlo for Ginger.

[man down]

Lol all that **** Canelo fans talked about GGG.

[Chrismart]

Fielding was hinting he had a big fight coming. I was thinking it may of been DeGale, which would of put a spanner in the works of the rumoured Eubank/DeGale fight.

Obviously not thugh, so I imagine the talk of DeGale/Eubank in December is true.

[Scipio2009]

Eddie has done it again lol
Wilder fanboys will be spitting venom I imagine now lol

By taking a fee to feed Fielding to Alvarez likely on HBO? lol.

Callum Smith took very little damage in his fight, the timing is similar enough to work, and he's THE ACTUAL WBA CHAMPION (with a shot for the WBC title in hand when he wants).

That would've been doing something

[QUOTE=bigdunny1;19168136]Name one thing I said that wasn't factual? GGG for over 5 years said he would move up to 168 instead he stayed fighting bums at 160. Canelo doing something GGG never did. 3 division champ and a new belt to add to the ones he took from GGG. [/QUOTE

Because Canelo does not speak out of his @ss like Mr. anybody from 154 to 168 and never went down or up, yet remains at the same weight class, his whole career, waiting on smaller guys to come to him.

Canelo leads by example without too much fanfare and bla bla bla, he just goes on and do it.

"SPOT QUIZ:

the following fighters are ranked higher at 168 than Fielding.....

Smith
Ramirez
Benavidez
Uzcategui
Groves
Degale
Dirrell
Eubank

considering that fact, would it be correct to refer to Canelo as a 168 "champion" should be beat Fielding.....?

btw, the possible answers are..... yes, or no

the answer to that question is LITERALLY as yes, or no..... as the answer to whether Golovkin's title defence run was legitimate

yes, or no ?" -aboutfkntime

Just in case you have him on ignore. He makes great points

I have it on ignore, but his crap keeps getting quoted so I end up reading it anyway. Regardless - here goes - I count GGGs title defenses only for the period that he was either the sole WBA champion or the 'super' champion - 15 defenses in all. I wouldn't consider Canelo to be WBA champ (if - when - he wins) because Smith is already the WBA super champ at that weight and super trumps regular. Nonetheless it is arguably a bold move (or maybe just a very smart one) which will doubtless add to Canelo's legacy even if their are currently tougher opponents at 160.

[vaynardevil]

damn, when u are ppv superstar, u can do w/e u want

[Citizen Koba]

Incidentally - does anyone know whether this counts as Canelo's allowed (per the WBC) voluntary defense? Technically he's not defending his MW title so there is the possibility that by the letter he could have this fight and then still have a voluntary defense of the MW title (possibly Lemieux) before being required to fight Jermall or GGG (or his WBA mando -depending on the rotation)

[TonyGe]

Well that's surprising. Lemieux is out. Good business decision by GB. They keep two fighters as draws.
