Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Slams IBF Decision To Strip Canelo, Vows Legal Fight

[QballLobo]

He’s been famous since the early 90s man. He’s smashed maybe 8000 chicks over the course of the decades. Regular old puss just doesn’t cut it anymore for him. Lol. He needs some next level stuff now.

True. Oscar has had ass that mortals can only dream of for almost 30 years. When you have unlimited access to that you need to get weird.
I’ve heard through the g****vine Leonardo DiCaprio is down with that freaky life as well. Even smashing model chicks on the regular gets old after a while.
These dudes taking shots at Oscar would take a few utensils up the ass to live his life for a week.

I'm very surprised Canelo didn't get at least one volunteer fight.

"Canelo still holds the WBC and WBA titles at middleweight."

CORRECTION:

he was stripped of the WBC and elevated to "franchise champion" earlier this year.



i post a correction on maybe half of the boxingscene articles i read. hire a fact checker and an editor. hire me. im better than whoever you use currently & outperform your staff nearly every day.

get your act together.

That's an oxymoron.

Please don't be fooled by Golden Boy Promotions ! Derevyanchenko is the mandatory Challenger and would make more money by allowing the fight to go to a purse bid than accepting the unprecedented amount of peanuts Golden Boy offered him. Let's not forget Golden Boy had Canelo relinquish his WBC middleweight title about 4 or 5 years ago instead of facing mandatory challenger Golovkin because it was only a 55/45 purse split in favor of Canelo aka Canelo wanted a larger piece of the pie just like Derevyanchenko does now !

De La Hoya gets super jealous when someone other than himself strips Canelo.

Sums up the thread!

Very good observation! I'm not mad at the IBF! Even though I'm a Canelo fan, I think had he a) Unified vs. Jermall Charlo, or b) Unified vs. Demetrius Andrade, he would not have these problems! The fact that he did neither, and decided to pursue Dervy, makes me a little salty!

Becoming undisputed is so hard (Salute to Bud Crawford!) because you have 4 organizations trying to run your career! For some fighters, especially fighters with as much money as Canelo, it really isn't worth it! Let's see if Lomachenko can do it @ 135.

The IBF changed the mandatory purse split to 65/35 this Jan.

Dervy should have been offered a lot more as Canelo's mando than he would expect to get for fighting GGG for the vacant title.

I think 65/35 is a fair offer!
