Comments Thread For: Canelo Won't Fight in September, Return is Postponed

[j.razor]

Canelo can’t fight until he fights someone that his bosses approve

DAZN aren’t losing money if they don’t pay him

I wonder how many times this will be postponed?

If he’s holding out for Kovalev, I hope Kovalev makes some solid demands given Canelo has his back up against the wall

Want to address any of the points I made? If not, please don’t reply

I did, duh.

Nelo is not letting dazn pick his fights, dazn won't be making money if Nelo leaves, he won't postpone again & he's not fighting kovalev.

Nelo flexing on dazn, duh.

[j.razor]

this is most likely the case, kovalev on december without having to share the pie with other people...

I don't think he will fight kovalev.

[Alan Smithee]

That's a false narrative.

False narrative? Do you even read these posts? Are you saying that Canelo didn't want the Andrade fight?

[Calibaloc]

This is the only understandable argument I've heard from Canelo fans defending this, but you have to look at the whole picture. Whose fault is it that GGG is this old and the Canelo-GGG rivalry, which should have been over with after 1 fight 4 years ago, is still dragging on?

It's Canelo's! He ducked prime GGG. He dropped the WBC belt. You Canelo fans who will support him through anything, and want to see him create an amazing legacy in the sport for which he gets lots of credit (aka the legacy that GGG was never allowed to create for himself in part because of Canelo's actions, something you guys conveniently leave out because you hate GGG), don't get it. Some actions are very hard to undo in boxing. You want him to get credit, but he doesn't deserve any credit after what he did.

So you guys are thinking, what's the point of fighting GGG again, he still won't get credit. Yeah because he doesn't deserve it! He ducked prime GGG, an opponent that was actually very difficult for him to beat. So there is only one way he can get credit back, and it's not by fighting old GGG, or Charlo, or Andrade, none of whom are nearly as good as prime GGG. The only way for Canelo to undo ducking a real threat who would have been a huge favorite over Canelo is for Canelo to actually fight a real prime threat who would be a huge favorite over him.

If Canelo fights Bivol at a healthy PROVEN weight for Bivol, whether that's 168 AFTER Bivol proves he can do it, or 175, and wins, Canelo will get the credit you want him to get, even from GGG fans and the supposed "haters." If Canelo fights Gvozdyk within the next 12 months, not when the already-32-year-old Gvozdyk is 34 or 35, but basically right now, 32, the last prime year for both athletes, or in this case, 33 is fine because Gvozdyk just won the belt and looked good, and we can't reasonably expect that fight to come together any sooner than 2020 (see? GGG fans are not as unreasonable as you think), then Canelo can get that credit and claim he's a great fighter.

Until then, no, he doesn't deserve it. Canelo fans will just have to deal with that, but the bigger question is why are you still fans of someone who doesn't deserve support in the first place after what he did? And if you're wondering why does Canelo have to fight light heavyweights now to make up for ducking prime GGG, it's because none of the middleweights, super middleweights, arguably even the light heavyweights, are as good as prime GGG! So the only way to replicate the middleweight challenge Canelo's size that Canelo avoided is to now fight a bigger, still top level, but not as top level as prime GGG, fighter, such as Bivol or Gvozdyk.

Or, Canelo can wait around for 5 years, and maybe another fighter as good as prime GGG, as powerful as prime GGG, as complete as prime GGG, as dangerous as prime GGG, will come along at 160, and Canelo can get his credit then. But middleweights like prime GGG come along very rarely, so that's unlikely, and do you really want to wait 5 years for Canelo to get his credit? Probably not. Therefore, Bivol and Gvozdyk are the ones he needs to fight. Beterbiev and Kovalev would also net Canelo good credit immediately, but they're also up there in age. They would go halfway to getting Canelo credit, but I'd still have questions and doubts until he actually fights a prime top threat, like prime GGG was. That means Bivol at any time, or, within the next 12 months only, Gvozdyk. Callum Smith on the other hand is a slow weight bully IMO hypejob, not half as technical as GGG, not as powerful as GGG despite being way bigger, and so on. That would prove nothing. That would be an impressive win at this stage for another slow fighter, old GGG, not Canelo. For Canelo, Bivol and Gvozdyk are the ones.

Im gonna be honest with you, After reading this I have to say that you expect a lot from Canelo. GGG was still in his prime when they first fought. WHy does Canelo have to move up out of his weight class and fight giants just because YOU think he needs to do that to get credit from GGG fans? He dropped that belt that fought GGG soon after. THen fought him AGAIN. I have no problem with Canelo fight those big guys like Bivol and Gvozdyk but he doesnt HAVE to.

Are you ******? can you read?? I said save the best for last which are Nelo/Boo Boo/Jermall Charlo so that means PVSSY-G gets disposed of 1st!

Don't act like your slow ass don't know that Jacobs doesn't want it with Boo Boo OR Jermall Charlo cuz if he did he would of fought Jermall when Jermall told his ass to make the fight happen, "You want to fight, let's fight." Now all of the sudden Jacobs got the Nelo sweepstake & wants to go to 168. Tell Jacobs to stay put & stop ducking Jermall Charlo. MEANWHILE tell Pvssy-g to fight Boo Boo cuz Pvssy-g aint getting Nelo anytime soon.

Fans like YOU are what's wrong with boxing trying to keep Pvssy-g safe. FOH

Fanboi. “save the best for last”. So your ok for these 2 fighting cans while they wait on that Nelo payday? Again, you can try and spin it however you want. The fact remains you want to protect these two. Not once before have I seen you asking of these two to face each other untill now that you’ve been called out on it. Now you say Jacobs is ducking. *****h Please. He just fought the best MW in the division. But he’s ducking Charlo? Sorry to break it to you. But NO ONE and I mean NO ONE is ducking Charlo. Why do you think Adams chose Charlo instead of GGG? I’ll tell ya. Cuz he new he had more of realistic chance at beating Charlo than GGG. And he was right. He went a full 12 with big bad Charlo never once getting hurt. Like I stated before. I’m no GGG fan. And you can go see my previous post to verify. That I’ve been calling for GGG to face Charlo and Boo Boo. If he does then he’s deserving of another shot at Nelo. Until then he can go FHS. I will say I do believe he beats both those Cankrushers. A word of advice. Try being more of a boxing fan and less of a Fanboi.

Yeah...no he wasn't. I'd like to know what boxers/athletes are really prime at 35+ years old. They can still perform at the top of their respective sports, but prime? No.

Not happening, Nelo should fight his mandatory in May 2020.

Canelo fight his mandatory? LoL He's been ducking and giving his belts away to his mandatories!

Who cares about Canelo anymore? The only fight worth watching is GGG but he's scared to death to fight him without PEDs.

[Truth Serum]

The ONLY people who want that fight are the 97k g-tards, media members & Pvssy-g, NOBODY ELSE. Nelo dropped the belt then Oscar made a 10 million dollar offer to Sissy-g & Sissy-g declined.

But he dropped the belt and GGG made 4 times as much and a 1 million dollar cash is hand offer from Oscar and G still beat him on PEDs and G was 35 years old and not even in his prime anymore.

It's clearly obvious who was the better MW in their prime.

[Truth Serum]

Man I just felt about a 60% drop in DAZN subscriptions.

And about a 60% drop in Canelo's paycheck when DAZN drops him.

No one cares about Canelo if he doesn't fight GGG and the Rocky and Jacobs number proved it...

July 20th is what the boxing world cares about!

[Truth Serum]

Wrong. He's trying to get Pvssy-g to fight someone good. Pay attention.

Do you know how ****** that sounds?

Canelo makes the same whether he fights him now or ducks till G is 40.
