Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo Options: GGG, Andrade, 168 - Maybe 175?

[BigZ44]

In a perfect world, provided he keeps winning, I'd like to see, in order:
Jacobs
GGG 3
Andrade
168

Don't need some weird foray into 175 without proving himself against the top guys at 168. Still think the 1 fight that might excite me the most in the entire sport is Canelo/Bivol at 168. The stylistic match there gets me wiener hard

5'8'', 175 lbs ?!?!?!?

This is just fishnets way of promoting for the mexicans in attendance to salivate at the prospect. Nothing to see here....

Catch Oscar on the strip tonight handing out 5000 free tickets to his unsold out fight tomorrow.

Going up and down so much on a regular basis will hurt him in the long run. He needs to stay at a certain weight class for awhile until his body says no more, then move on.

I love how 168 is looked at as some sort of accomplishment. No way he's going to 175 without yet another advantage, or disadvantage for the opponent.

Rocky Fielding is a big lad, he’ll be at 175 one day and Canelo might just step up around the same time

[GlassJoey]

BJS must look at all this and wonder where it all went wrong. Fighting for a few quid on a warren card while all the big fights are actually being made elsewhere. I know he’s a good boxer but I’d consider him a lesser 168 champ than Rocky Fielding if he gets the WBO belt.

[MDPopescu]

Oscar is basically saying that if one of the ABC groups is willing to sell Canelo some bogus, made up belt, against a Fielding-type bum at light heavy. They’re willing to do it in the name of selling a tuneup/stay-busy type fight as a big event because Canelo would be “conquering” another division. But as of right now, none of the current trinket holders at light heavy fit the bill.

... pretty much this ^^^ ..............

Look how long it took Canelo to fight at a real weight class. Lol. Canelo not moving up fighting anyone unless they a nobody or he drains them. It will be tainted in some way, so whats the point. He finally drop that Canelo-weight bs. He should just stay at 160 and rack up legit wins

Bivol at 168 beats his ass.
