Comments Thread For: Canelo Won't Be Held Back During His Quest For Greatness

People forget Canelo is young as hell.

Most fighters in their early to mid 20s are facing average opponents. Increasing competition in their late 20s and early 30s.

Again, who was GGG facing at 23?

Who was Mayweather fighting at 20??

Who did Mosley fight at 22?

Too many people jump on Canelo when he was still a young ass dude.

Floyd fought Genaro when he was young...19 or 20.

Canelo is of the same cloth.

Spence is 29 and is fighting his first good opponent although that opponent is a JWW (135).

Canelo is in a league of his own along with Loma and Mikey in terms of fighting whoever

And it all resumes with a tough match against Fielding.....

A dude that fought at 154 2 years ago going up to 168 to become a champion i don't care what the haters have to say, you don't get given title belts, regular championships or not Fielding poses a challenge. Easy to criticise from behind a keyboard though.

yes great point. Maybe some of his opponents were a little shop worn but Canelo wasn't even in his mid twenties when he took on a lot of those names!

[robbyheartbaby]

yea, thats right Robi

if they even consider Lemieux then they are full of it

I hope Lemieux loses his next fight, just to get rid of him

Charlo should be first, or maybe Jacobs

I'm hoping Charlo, Jacobs or Andrade definitely not Lemieux but will expect the worst should he win next. GGG suddenly seems insignificant. Weird.

Shameless golden boy promotion to try and con their dumb ass fans again. How are you gonna mention he's chasing greatness while promoting the fact that he's facing Rocky Fielding?? Straight oxymoron

Go to boxrec, look at who Golovkin fought for his first supposed world title, and come back and tell us what version of the title it was and how many times he defended it, then try telling us with a straight face that what Canelo is doing is worse...

Better yet, I'll lay it down for you.

Golovkin beats some Milton Núñez guy who had never fought at MW (typical) for the VACANT interim WBA title and defends that title after being upgraded to regular 9 more times.

Canelo is moving up against a big solid SMW, is at a size, height, and reach disadvantage, for the WBA regular title.

If this next Canelo fight is a sham and doesn't make him a 3 division champion then 100% Golovkin's fake 20 title defenses are phony and pure hype... Can't have it both ways.

he should fight Charlo, problem solved

Loeffler could talk to the WBC, who said that the winner of Golovkin/Charlo would be ordered to fight Canelo..... and agree to that fight, if they guarantee to enforce that ruling in the contract

problem solved

then Canelo could fight Jacobs, who actually deserves that payday more than Charlo

either way I suppose

exactly !

the point is..... it is THE SAME title

so how could the situation be any different ?

Golovkin's defences were not legitimate, and Canelo will not become a genuine SMW champion by beating Fielding

at least Golovkin defended his, whatever that thing is..... whereas Canelo will immediately move back down to 160..... with no defenses of, whatever that thing is
