Comments Thread For: Trainer: Fielding Has More Than Puncher's Chance To Beat Canelo

[Jab jab boom]

- Kirkland was 28-1 and a dangerous puncher
- Khan decided he wanted the MW strap and based on his success was granted the fight. Anyone would have granted a boxer of his stature a shot
- Cotto was actually 35 and yes past his prime but still one of the GOT and dangerous. Remember when they laughed at Foreman in his 40s?
- GGG was still the best in the division and there was no one else who would challenge him nor anyone else that would beat him. Hell I’d still put GGG 2nd best in the division today

Kirkland was coming off a yr of inactivity, wasn't trained by Ann wolf and last time he wasn't trained by her, he had been KO'd in 1 by a non puncher. Khan, what success did he have? He hadn't been a world champion in any division for 4 years before facing Canelo. The guy was ko'd at light weight and 140, yet was given a shot at a mw title? His stature was that he was a laughing stock for having one of the weakest chins in boxing history. Cotto is a hof guy, but he was 10 yrs older than Canelo and about 20 pounds lighter on fight night. Canelo had every conceivable advantage yet despite the typical Canelo scorecards, that was a pretty competitive match up. Ggg was still elite but clearly showed signs of slowing, and in both fights, still at 35/36 outlanded Canelo in 18 of 24 rounds. He was clearly jerked in the first fight, and the 2nd could've gone either way or realistically been scored a draw. At this point, I'm not sure if ggg beats jacobs in a rematch and think charlo has a real shot at beating him too.
