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

[factsarenice]

Let me help you.
1) Every expert had GGG beating Jacobs in a close fight

2)Majority of experts had GGG beating Canelo in the 1st fight and the 2nd was closer to a draw... and GGG got jobed.

3) Canelo makes more money fighting a real fight and less fighting a no hope opponent.

4) Canelo is fighting the weakest 175lber with a belt and everyone on the planet knows it...even you.

Other than misrepresenting those few facts your post wasn't that bad. BTW, lots of middle weights skipped over Andrade just like Canelo, nothing new there.

Quality of the fights?
Jacobs was pretty much the best at 160 other then Canelo! Jacobs in most boxing writers and experts had Jacobs winning by a round over GGG!
So really, what are you trying to say? Jacobs is not good?
GGG has a bigger fan base then Jacobs but Jacobs technically was the better challenge!
Besides, Canelo beat both.
And for you mentioning Fielding, that fight was not one of Canelo's contracted fights for Dazn!
That actually had zero to do with the 365 million dollar contract!
So study up.
Canelo vs anybody makes money!
Canelo vs Kovalev indeed makes more as that a great champion 2 weight classes up.
This is not the weight classes Oscar, Manny or Floyd jumped up. Up in these weights the hits are much more serious then jumping 2 lower weight classes!
Canelo is indeed the man and is truly
To do things others did not.

Artimus Gordon deserved better and he never cried but he didn't expect Canelo to avoid Adrade.

Dem could have been a champ had he been there before GGG.

Their resumes look identical.

I'll pay for Andrade, BJS, GGG or Charlo but fighting some once was old guy or never was Mungia is strictly for suckers.

I don't want anyone bashing me for this comment, but I want some serious thought. How in the world can we believe Canelo and team postponed the September date because there was a lack of "suitable opponents" when you had guys like GGG, Andrade, Smith, and others waiting in the wings. Could it be that Canelo is cycling off something and needed the extra time? It just doesn't make sense when you definitely had options to fight in September. The funny thing is, he'll end up fighting those fighters that at some point were not suitable opponents.

That would make perfect sense!!!! If canelo wasn’t enrolled to vada 365 like no one else is! Study up like that other guy said lmao

Richest deal in sports history is mike trout... with that being said, it’s a 99.9 percent chance that it’s Kovalev at the T Mobile arena in Vegas on Nov 2nd

It’s all relative. Baseball players play 162 games a year plus spring training and post season.
Canelo makes that money with 2 training camps and two fight nights.

ODLH: "Whoever wants to take the deal and make history to fight Canelo."

... the only one who's "making history" is Canelo himself... (all the others are only taking that "Canelo money"...)

.. no suspense here...

It’s all relative, baseball players don’t get punched in the face... regardless, if we are speaking numbers, trout has the richest deal so wants your point?
