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

[Satir]

Agree with some posts above, I think Kovalev will be the favorite going into Canelo's fight, he's taller, longer, better technician, just better boxer overall, Canelo is gonna have to carry all that weight and having a knee and stamina problems Canelo will be dead tired by 9th-10th from Kova's jabs to the guts
Nothing tells me that Canelo actually wants that fight, why lowballing Kova proposing 5 mil and at the same time paying Jacobs like 12 or smth, is Kova, multiple times champ at 175, future HOF desrves 2,5 less then Jacobs, strange isnt?

People sayg kovalev is old yet he beat a strong yarde by ko 🤷🏼*♂️. plus triple flop is too afraid to fight kovalev so what does that tell u. triple gay wont even fight callum smith at 168. or andrade or bjs. damn what a coward. Canelo is a true champ , a living legend. if he beats kovalev he wld b the second to own championship belts in 3 weight classes at the same time. only armstrong did that. lets all bow down to canelo’s greatness.

Are they going to surprise and announce a fight with Andrade or Smith lol

you can fall to your knees for Canelo but don't get upset when real boxing fans who aren't Canelo groupies don't do the same. Why do all Canelo fans feel the need to defend Canelo by trying to compare him to ggg? You mention ggg is scared of callum smith but the fake title Canelo picked up at 168 was against a guy that Smith ko'd in 1. If Canelo wanted the real wba title at 168, why did he fight smith's left overs instead of Smith? Was he scared? Why is he picking the guy that's known as the least regarded champion at 175 now in Kovalev? A guy who is 36 and has been stopped twice within the past few yrs? Not to mention a guy who will be even more worn down because he just came off a tough fight 2 weeks ago and now has to fight Canelo in less than 2 months. Stop the pathetic cheerleading.

vs Kovalev at 175 is a great fight and a first shot at greatness for Canelo....at 170 or any other BS catchweight, for a guy who has defended titles time and again at catchweights will just makem ore of a mockery of the Mexican chico!

green k for this one

For the money they paid him it’s no where near enough...other Mayweather who was the A side ggg was only fighter to helped him get good numbers

I'd say that is highly unlikely however, once the kovalev fight is announced, it would be interesting to see who these other fighters DLH claims to have been negotiating actually are!
Equally insightful would be how much these other fighters were actually offered. As we all know it's easy to say " they didn't want the fight" if they've only been offered a derisory purse!

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.

And almost ALL the boxers and trainers had Canelo winning. You dope need me to provide links to Roys Jones clowning the sht out of GGG??? Hell Spence and Charlo both laughed at lil g who RAN out the ring CRYING like you are now... but but. Hey I’ll get you tickets that bet ggg. Go collect and I hope they kick your teeth in when you say but media doe! LMFAO!

Provide link ggg winning because EVERY site I go to has him with a LOSS!!!
