Comments Thread For: De La Hoya 'Not Saying Andrade Is Top Contender' For Canelo Next

[aboutfkntime]

When you have the resume like Canelo, you can afford some soft touches here and there! All the greats have done it! It's an easy fight to make, same promoter, same platform, and he would be the perfect opponent for the occasion: Mexican Independence Day!

I don't care if I never see that fight..... much prefer the better-qualified, stylistically more-difficult, Andrade

Munguia is not ready

Would pay to see it but Oscar isn't sure Canelo wins the belts & that's the problem.

Just say no to Demetrius Andrade, Terrance Crawford, Lomachanko, Anthony Josuha... and tell the world why the fight can't be made and hope people lack the experience, wisdom and judgment to know the difference.

Your agenda is clear to me. "Say you don't think CANELO will fight or beat Fighter A , B or C. Then when CANELO fight's & beats Fighter A & B , then say CANELO will never beat or even dare fight Fighter C." Your agenda is hanging on by a thread.

That is a weak & played out narrative used by hater's like yourself, that already have been debunked and trashed several times by CANELO.

Why bring up all those other names you listed , just to fit you're narrative? CANELO is different , he fights all the best fighter's out their , all styles. He proved it , if it's not next it will happen very soon. Trust me CANELO isn't scared of Andrade or his style , he'll handle Andrade comfortably just watch & see. CANELO is the better boxer/fighter. You're over-rating the opponent & under-rating CANELO, once again.

Agree 100%!

Cool bro! Can't wait for that fight.

[aboutfkntime]

its all about what DAZN wants and needs....theyve overpaid both of these guys really...and even though none of us really want to see golovkin, with all the excuses from his fans why he lost the 2nd fight clearly, go for a 3rd time...when almost everyone feels he cant do better....but DAZN needs a canelo/lil g 3 over a andrade/canelo...which could still be there later

the gggroupies will run around talking about how he has a new trainer and they wanna see what he can do with banks blah blah...but when its over theyll run with the same BS as always "canelo waited him out"...."canelo let him get old before fighting the first time blah blah"..."canelo juicing again blah blah"..."im in love with golovkin nothing is ever his fault the judges blah blah"

I don't think so, because Canelo has NO stipulations in his contract with DAZN..... he selects his own opponents

the fact is, Canelo just selected/beat the best available opponent(s)..... after Jacobs/Golovkin, there are no big names..... and there is nobody who the fans are screaming for Canelo to fight

future " big " fights..... are likely a Golovkin trilogy..... there really are no other truly "big" fights at 160..... and Canelo has slready stated that fight may happen, or it may not..... put it this way..... if DAZN were even slightly concerned about future big fights for Canelo, wouldn't they be attempting to convince Golovkin to take the WBO title off Andrade..... but, nope

also, DAZN just signed off Steve Rolls for Golovkin..... so ?

I don't think that DAZN have much say at all..... they have likely been assured that Canelo intends to fight the best, and that he will make as many big fights as he can, if they arise..... other than that, Canelo steers his ship

yea I agree, Canelo (and Golovkin) were badly overpaid LMAO

seems insane

[aboutfkntime]

Canelo fans..... don't do it.....

stop making DUMB excuses why Canelo should not fight Andrade

there are no reasons (excuses) why that fight should not happen

you are all sounding like pacifist soy-boy Golovkin fans

Canelo absolutely should fight Andrade next

I absolutely want to see Andrade take a knee from a vicious liver shot LMAO

they signed off on steve rolls for golovkin because they probably know/think canelo/golovkin is next....no different than hbo signing off on ward/brand knowing that ward/kovalev was next(obviously lil g/canelo is bigger than that but just saying)......rolls is perfect to make lil g look great again

and DAZN knows realistically they dont have alot of time with lil g.......which is why they probably want lil g/canelo asap....

sure its possible they get andrade/golovkin to fight each other and feed the winner to canelo....but realistically they can let canelo beat golovkin and then fight andrade next year at some point

[REYESdelBOXEO]

Beating Andrade literally does nothing for Canelo’s legacy. Unless Andrade goes on and has a great career afterwards. And based on what he’s shown thus far, it’s kinda far fetched to think that’s gonna happened.

That's a bogus & bizarre statement.
Becoming Undisputed means nothing? You must be out of your mind. Becoming Undisputed means a whole lot. It doesn't matter what Andrade does after that.

For example: Crawford beat Indongo to become Undisputed at 140 and in his very next fight Indongo got Knocked out in 2 rounds.
Did Dan Rafael, Teddy Atlas, Jim Lampley, Joe Tessatore , Max Kellerman, Dougie Fisher or Steve Kim etc. criticize or demerit Crawford's win over Indongo in any way shape or form? No hell no , they wouldn't even dare. Crawford's legacy was set in stone. Same rules apply for CANELO. Plus CANELO is the smallest guy in the division so becoming Undisputed is a very impressive legacy cementing feat , besides his other accomplishments.

dont get me wrong id love to see canelo/andrade next....and im more of an andrade guy really....we're from the same state...but ive been losing faith in him that great/even good things will ever happen for him

if DAZN can continue to build him over the next 12-16 months than i think a fight with canelo would make more sense for them, as a network, around then....which is really what matters since the network wields a ton of influence

if they let golovkin sit much longer theyll have to come up with another bum fight or two and pay him wayyy too much just to feed an even older version of him to canelo

[aboutfkntime]

yep, true..... fair call

maybe thats it

[Curt Henning]

yep, true..... fair call

maybe thats it

im not saying either of us are wrong

i just think DAZN prolly sees what we see.....how much longer can they really afford to put canelo/lil g off if they are gonna do it? and i think both guys deals suggest they plan on doing it....

sure they could keep feeding him rolls level opponents for a few...but really how will that benefit them? it costs too much and just makes him older

i think hearn even said this week that canelo/lil g makes sense next..or something like that
