Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Showed That He Can Fight at 160 or 168

[thack]

For this to be top of the bill at MSG was embarrassing. Canelo is buying titles and although is one of the best out there is a total diva guided by a very misguided snake Del la hoya. It's good that Fielding got a good payday but as champion being introduced first said it all.

Canelo's last 20 opponents (over 8 years):

Rocky Fielding - c-level domestic UK fighter
GGG (back to back) - great opponent
Chavez Jr - c-level bum fighter(has a name)
Liam Smith - c-level domestic UK fighter
Amir Khan - 147 lbs ko'd multiple times (has a name)
Miguel Cotto - shot old fighter(has a name) (good fighter at his prime)
James Kirkland - c-level fighter
Erislandy Lara - good opponent
Alfredo Angulo - c-level fighter
Floyd Mayweather Jr. - great opponent
Austin Trout - solid opponent
Josesito López - c-level fighter
Shane Mosley - shot old fighter (has a name) (great fighter at his prime)
Kermit Cintrón - shot fighter
Alfonso Gómez - c-level fighter
Ryan Rhodes - c-level fighter
Matthew Hatton - c-level fighter
Lovemore N'dou - c-level fighter
Carlos Baldomir - c-level fighter

As you can see, there are a lot of c-level & shot old fighters on the list dating back to 2010! Floyd, Lara, Trout, & GGG are the only credible opponents! Moseley & Cotto were great in their primes but shot, old, & used for their names when Canelo faced them. It's crazy how many would lead you to believe Canelo's resume is top notch but it's the farthest from the truth! The weird thing about Canelo's resume is it's actually better than most because the top fighters refuse to fight one another. I believe Canelo is a top five p4p fighter & if I was a betting man, I would pick Canelo to beat Charlo & Jacobs! I just wanted to show how Canelo gets credit for beating a lot of c-level & shot old fighters but I will admit he's not the only one.

great post! But I think Charlo beats him.

I think Canelo will unify 160 by 2020. He has the pull to make it happen. I don't see Miracle Man or Boo Boo stopping him. Also, fighting at 160 with rehydration limit is going to be hard on Danny Jacobs.

It will be even harder for canelo bro. To make weight with a rehydration limit. Dude always fought as light heavyweight as a middle weight. With his mystery pill before both GGG fights.

Canelo didn't show S H I T! He fought a "mummy" that did everthing possible to loose..Trying showing something against Chsrlo, Jacods or Callum.

Amazing, since a few years ago 160 was too big for him and 152 drained him.

Seems to me that you can argue other than an old-small, washed up Cotto - Canelo has lost to every good opponent or better. -shrugs-

Unbelievable

Boxing is still a circus. Who's next to the champ? Charley Z at the T-Mobile center Las V? I mean come on can we see the guy fight or was the taste of reality G gave him to bitter. Ginger man is still on the juice they just found a more efficient process of beating the golden snitch.

[Mexican_Puppet]

His best wins on this 8 year list are questionable and he got schooled by Floyd not to mention he used PEDs to accomplish this making it that less impressive.

Questionable only for haters like you.

He beat them, and that sh.it about peds only an idiot can believes. That.

Canelo naturally is a very strong fighter and he fu.cked up your idol GGG

Only in your imagination he lost again them.

He beat all them

And there is not a fighter with better names on his resume. Only an old Pacquiao
