Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Will Continue To Fight To Make Boxing History

[Boxing Scene]

Orale Champ! Phuq the haters and the LDBC and the “you just hate X because he’s white” fans when Canelo surely doesn’t look like a tanned Amazonian!

WAR CANELO!

Anyone who supports a known, proven, convicted drug cheat is the lowest scum on the planet.

Boxing Scene supports Canelo so don’t forget to log off after reading this!

Characterising any fan who criticises Canelo as 'haters' or 'racist' is just lazy, ignorant shutting out of legitimate criticism.

I happen to think Canelo is an excellent fighter, yet in the latter part of his career, he has, without doubt, cherry-picked fighters who are just hitting the downward slide and are maybe 2 years past their prime.

Not only that, his massive contract with DAZN came with the implicit agreement that he would afford Golovkin the third fight in good time.

Not only has he thumbed his nose at the boxing establishment, but he is also so arrogant and self-centered as to question his own promoters' intelligence.

My objection to Canelo's over-the-top weight jumping is that it could seriously interfere with the total unification at 175, should he beat Kovalev - and Canelos diva-like personality seems to revel in upsetting an entire division by holding it to ransom - he seems to enjoy getting in the way of other fighters plans and holding a division to ransom.

The right way to go about moving up weight classes is either by cleaning out a division or because you can't make the weight anymore, not just whimsical random picking of the Rocky Fielding's and evidently now vulnerable Sergey Kovalev just to satisfy one's own ego.

Floyd must be real proud of his protegé.

There is no such thing as an "implicit" agreement. If the agreement is not explicit, it is nothing but a babel and nonsense.

"Not only has he thumbed his nose at the boxing establishment, but he is also so arrogant and self-centered as to question his own promoters' intelligence."

Canelo was not questioning Oscar's intelligence, he was questioning his judgment and honesty. By the way, Canelo is not the only one who thinks that De La Hoya goes off the rails from time to time.

I would put Canelo in my top 10 fighters that ruined boxing. I think the majority of non black boxing fans would agree that Mayweather single handedly killed boxing.

Nobody has killed boxing. That idea is hyperbole beyond hyperbole. Boxing is alive and well and growing in popularity around the world. I will grant you that boxing has changed, but then like other sports it is evolving and changing with the times, but dead it ain't.

The lowest scum on the planet? You can't be serious.

[Mr.Mac]

If and when Canelo beats GGG with judges who are truly independent and NOT provided by his slippery Golden Boy promoter he will never , ever be recognized as one of the greats . There is no wonder de la Hoya will not make this rematch.

Canelo moved up too quick. In my opinion, he should have moved up if/when he a) cleaned out middleweight or b) lost a fight.

Kovalev is slipping but he's a legit light heavy...he can win this. If Canelo loses, does he struggle and weaken himself getting back to 160?

If Canelo wins...they got real hitters at '75, does he stay and get beat up? Or does he (again) struggle and weaken himself to get back to '60.

Short-sighted move, dude shouldve asked me (ha ha). But then again...his paycheck already signed, right?

[Rigpig]

Nothing this diva does means anything to boxing history. He’s a proven PED user.

anyone from 154-175... that is better than, anyone from 154-168... amiright ?
