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.
Historically he may be right. I can't think of 1 other fighter with more fights against 35 and older "champions" while he's still in his 20s, or a single fighter that has had more absurd scorecards in their favor,.or a fighter that has either dropped or been stripped of a mw title 3 times for failure to comply with a mandatory.
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.
This guy is funny. Fight SK to make history? Why not jump 1 division and fight Smith or DB. Oh no. He wouldn't. He's a joke. He's fought out of there prime champs. Or fight Bivol or Artur in that division. Younger stronger fighters. Saul needs to stop it with this "making history crap". Straight funny. New nickname for Saul "The Ginger Joke"
This drug cheat reckons beating Rocky Fielding and then an old decrepit Kovalev makes history. What a buffoon. Should have fought a real fight in Sergiy Derevyachenko instead of chickening out and have GGG do the dirty work.
This is funny how a drug cheat canelo "making history" by fighting the weakest champs in every division. If you really that good as you claim fight the best in division ..
