Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo is Ambitious, Wants To Face Champ at 175

Put him in with Beterbiev then

Stop with this crazy thoughts already. Canelo stops every fighter under 160. every serious 175 fighter destroys Canelo. Imagine Gvozdyk or. Bivol lands some big shots in Canelo`s head. He could get some permanent brain injury.

Boxing is a full contact sport, fighters shouldn`t face much bigger and stronger guys.

canelo Vs kovalev is a good one

It would be a good scrap if Canelo's opponents weren't contractually obligated to take it easy on him on fight night.

Money is a bitch.

I think only Bivol can beat Canelo at 175. Bivol vas power, skills, speed, accuracy. I doubt about other champs.

But this is only talk now. They won't go to 175 when there are Callum Smith and Andrade at 168 and 160.

I dont see Canelo beating elite at 175. Maybe if their is an opportunity in a weak 175 division.

But 175 is where you really start to see a huge jump in fighter's size and frames. I made a post with all the stats before but guys like Hopkins, Tarver, Dawson ect, you got these guys 6ft-6ft3 in there that are highly skilled. These are the guys that have the frames to fight up at heavyweight.

You think Canelo could beat someone like Ward or Kovalev who is not going to be afraid to engage him the way Jacobs was gun shy? Fielding was so ****ty, I dont know if he quit, took a dive or really is that ****ty.

Canelo has speed and defense but these guys will know how to use all their other advantages. Boxers like tarver, dawson ect would know how to use their range advantages properly, now canelo has to jump in and out of range reducing his speed advantage.

Oscar De La Hoya should dress Canelo in tin-foil and tell 'Krusher' Kovalev that Golden-Boy has another tomato-can for him.

Lol what’s the rehydration clause gonna be for this...must weigh in at 170pounds 24hrs before the fight and 175 on fight morning

There’s a reason he fought Fielding at 168 instead of Benividez, Zurdo or Smith.

[Jim Tom]

What's the use if he is going to have all these hydration clauses? The guy is a total fraud. Firstly it was the judges now he drains people before fighting them?

[kushking]

At full 175 with no weight restrictions or rehydration clauses, Kovalev or any champs at lightheavyweight would destroy Canelo. Id be surprised if Nelo's team would take the risk fighting monsters at 175 really. Imagine Gvozdyk landing those shots that gave Stevenson permanent brain injury.

Canelo has no business fighting above 168 EVER,thats just plain dumb fckery on his teams part to even suggest such ******ity.
