Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya: Canelo Alvarez 'Very Close To Signing a Deal'

[stealthradon]

Canelo was junior middleweight 2 years ago... He's not going to lhw. Get over yourselves... No one in boxing is doing this except him.

Was a JMW/MW.. got caught doing clenbuterol. Moved to LHW

The topic is getting hot, ppl are crazy, has Canelo KOd any champ, lol, has he ever ko any descend fighter...what makes ppl think that he's capable of KOing a good boxer, any good boxer?

He has Koed many good fighters, yidiot. He has a great KO percentage and he could have had more Kos but many fighters specially Black, run and hold... Maybe you are confusing him with Mayweather....

Or is Clenelo on the dope again?

Is this Saunders??? Who's your favorite fighter? Can't WAIT see that STELLAR resume better than Canelo. You CLEARLY don't know SHT about boxing.

You are more optimistic about Canelo's chances than I am and I like Canelo. I think he is good for boxing. But Kovalev might the proverbial "bridge too far" for him. I hope the fight gets made.

You ever notice how these TROLLS never say who their favorite fighters are??? Be nice to be able to see where they're coming from with saying Canelo and Kovalov are dog sht boxers??

Clenelo got caught. AS THE ONLY MEXICAN ATHLETE IN 2018. No one else.
Amazing with it being so prevalent not a single other athlete was found using it. Just bad luck.

You did read that DAZN disapproved Andrade and Charlo and Derevyanchenko right? And also that GGG walk out of the negotiations demanding to fight in MSG. So if you’re trying to pin this on Canelo as usual I say GTFOH you need to inform yourself more so that you don’t look ****** next time

I read that but Canelo doesn’t wanna fight GGG again. That’s petty as hell. He’d rather move up to 175 than face GGG again. He’s acting like he beat him twice decisively.

He said he would fight GGG once GGG gets a belt. They well fight again you best believe that. DAZN will make sure of that.

GGG just needs to realize he ain't calling the shots. Dude's already choses the refs and judges last time and now wants to pick the location. I don't even know if GGG beats Sergiy??? ESPECIALLY with a NEW trainer and such a long layoff. I don't count Rolls as a fight so he's been out for over a year.

No one said he was too old in the rematch or vs Yarde. If Nelo wasn't fighting him, he'd be the runaway div favorite for as long as he was fighting.

Nelo ages people

Dude Kovalev was barely a favorite against Yarde that tells you how long in the tooth hes considered, he would not be favorite against any other champion at 175 unless it’s Pascal or someone of that level and he’ll id give this new version of pascal of stopping him to the body fam. It’s ok to just say yeah a drunk 36 year old isn’t what he used to be..

And he DOMINATED him! I think Yarde only won 1 round?
I bet Kovalov to beat Bivol and Beterbiev who both struggled with fringe contenders. Tell you what! They fight I'll be the FIRST to take your money...

Read my post, it's about risk taken, not about a possible future fight.
Of course Alvarez fans think Chavez and Fielding were risky fights.
The diva aint ducking, he just don't like GGG. :-)

They were riskier fights than fighting Steve Rolls after a 9 month layoff that I know for sure.

Fielding and Chavez Jr. are the only times Canelo has fought above 160. This is what makes the Kovalev fight such a dangerous one. Does he have the power to hurt Kovalev? Does his chin hold up? How will he overcome his reach disadvantage when Kovalev jabs at him all night? I can see why Oscar De La Hoya seems reluctant to follow through with it. Fighting Kovalev at 175 with no catchweight is infinitely riskier than fighting GGG for a third time. If he pulls this off, he instantly becomes fighter of the decade.
