Canelo is BAD for boxing!

[bigdunny1]

Charlo was the best at 154. He then fought the WBC #1 contender at 160 and beat him.

Under the existing rules he did earn his spot.

If you want to talk about getting rid of all the sanctioning bodies so that there is only one that all fighters get ranked by? And about improving the way fighters are ranked? I would fully support that as well.

But within the existing system Charlo followed the rules and the WBC should have ordered a mando. Let's have some transparency in the sport instead of constantly moving the goalposts when it suits us.

Charlo was not the best at 154 he wasn't even considered the highest ranked belt holder at 154. Politics and Haymon owning the WBC led to him getting a immediate title eliminator against a bum undeserving opponent who never should of had his ranking if not for corruption and to make things worse entered the ring with a leg injury before the fight. That's how Charlo got his number 1 ranking not by fighting the best of the best. You can't even acknowledge the corruption from the belt orgs that led to heiland getting a title eliminator but got the nerve to say top guys like Canelo or Floyd should fight who these corrupt belt orgs say to fight. In a short time canelo beat the lineal middleweight champ, then beat the universally number 1 ranked middleweight who was also p4p ranked and the boogyman in boxing then beat the universally number 2 ranked Middleweight in the world. One guy is fighting the best of the best while ignoring corrupt belt orgs and the other guy is fighting who wbc says is the best but we all know those opponents are a joke.

Yes you can't have it both ways and say by WBC rules Charlo should get the fight but ignore WBC rampant corruption and rules that are made on the fly and up for sale that led to charlo position in the first place. We can look at ring magaizne rankings for 160 and see Charlo hasn't fought any of them. We can look at boxrec computer rankings and see that Charlo hasn't beaten a top 10 ranked Middleweight matter fact as of right now he has a single win over a top 20 ranked middleweight. Following belt orgs especially the WBC doesn't lead to the best fighting the best.

Charlo was the best at 154 according to the WBC.

Charlo beat the guy who was #1 at 160 according to the WBC.

So Canelo should have been ordered to fight Charlo by the WBC.

That's the bottom line according to their own rules. The other orgs don't come into this because they have different rules.

Again, if you want to blow up all the alphabet groups and start over that's fine by me. But in the meantime the least they should be expected to do is stick to their own rulebook.

If he's being used as an excuse by fighters to fight meaningless fights, then he is indeed bad for the sport. Like Charlo fighting Adams or Golovkin fighting Rolls...

The LDBC alts have been swirming the boards lately.

What makes him bad is he is a diva that calls all the shots when it comes to weigh gloves refs judges but that comes with being the cash cow no way around it and everyone would love to be in his position and would do the same damn thing so it is what it is can’t really hate or knock him for it
