Comments Thread For: Canelo's Coach: If No WBO at 160 - We Want To Unify at 168

Fact, both Lomachenko & Crawford beat everyone & moved up twice. Spence is the only guy that has never ever fought outside of one weight division.

Dare to be great, I love it. I’m sick of so called elite fighters using belts as an excuse to hang around a division fighting inferior competition. All in the name of waiting on “unification” fights. In Canelo’s case, there’s literally no difference between unifying belts at MW or SMW. Only difference is obviously it will be tougher at SMW because of the size disadvantages Canelo will be facing. And if he gets his ass kicked, so be it. Move back down to MW sand continue being the man there. Kinda wish the Lomachenckos, Crawfords, and Spences of the world had the same mentality. The only fighters that don’t have the option of moving up in search of bigger fights are heavyweights. Everyone else can chase big fights if they want to. That’s the problem, most don’t want to.

Unlike Lomachenko and Crawford, Spence Jr is in a loaded division at 147lbs and has several viable options where he can both have big money fights and become undisputed for legacy so why move up right now? Also, unlike Crawford whom decided to re-sign with Top Rank for whatever reason, the fights are easy to make. It's really a no brainer as to why Spence Jr has not yet moved up. How many $20 million fights have either Lomachenko or Crawford been offered?

Hope Calum Smith says *** your weight clause because canelo isn't fighting him without one

Lomachencko and Crawford are also in situations where the biggest fights for them that are realistic in terms of making them probably isn’t in their current divisions. The reality is the most makable big fight for both of them is probably against each other.

For the life of me

Spare a thought for Jermall Charlo. Yes, he was unimpressive against Korobov, but he is the no. 1 contender for the WBC title, the mandatory, and just doesn't get a shot. Charlo would possibly make a better fight of it than Jacobs did against Canelo.

Why won't GB recognize the Twins?

At 154 GB promoted some of their early fights.
Alvarez defended against the likes if Lopez, Gomez, Kirkland, and Angulo.
Was that a murders' row of Jr. Welter killers.
Now here we are at 160.
Smith, Cotto, and Khan were just as lame.
GB knows those guys are bad news for Alvarez, otherwise they should have met by now.
