Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: Canelo Fights Big Names When They Are at The End!

[STREET CLEANER]

I think this sums up everything surrounding Canelo.

The haters have a point but they hate too much

The fanboys have a point but they dck ride too hard.

Canelo deserves credit for beating GGG in rematch, fights with Lara. Jacobs etc.

But lets not kiss his ass and ignore details surrounding some of his fights,

It goes both ways

Indeed. He fought guys with more experience than him that were out of their prime like Mosley, Baldomir, Cintron, etc but he did fight some prime fighter in the likes of Lara, Trout, Kirkland, etc.

I know he has the PED thing but he gets way too much hate and others just defend him to death.

I do like the PED thing but I am fine with him.

The former world champion, Erik 'El Terrible' Morales, said that Sal 'Canelo' lvarez has the ability to be crowned champion in four different weight divisions, but questioned the manner in which he's made his career and the opponents that he faced.

Truth!

Thats why they called him El Mata Viejos!

And he only gets KOs on damaged goods. Never in the big fights.

Canelo fights are boring and the corruption that follows him is a dealbreaker.

De JaVu Floyd fought Canella when green, Oscar cotto manny when old it’s smart but not seeking greatness rays Hearns etc fought everyone hagler

That's actually the Pacquiao Blue Print. Canelo is going to win the fight of the decade after he beats Kovalev.

Co signed.

I agree Kovalev is at the end of his career. But who knows may be he has one more good fight for him. He has all the advantage in this fight except the age...

Its a bit on the nose really...but yeah, how can anyone argue with this? It seems to be Canelo's strategy? Top level fighter in his prime? No, thank you. Top level fighter over 35 and past it - bring me the challenge, I want to build legacy.

He did miscalculate with GGG though

Morales says what real boxing fans know, but groupies will call him a hater. Morales is what I considered to be the epitomy of what boxing /Mexican boxing should be. Fought the best, always came to fight (except that 1 time pac weight drained him) and hated his opponents with a passion.

[Born X Raised]

I don’t understand the narrative that Canelo fights top guys when they’re old.

It’s like did you want Canelo to be born earlier or something?

Those guys like Mayweather, Mosley, Cotto, Golovkin are 8+ years older than Canelo so they’d never have been able to fight Canelo when they were in their prime because Canelo would be 15-22 years old lmao. Not to mention their divisions didn’t really match up at earlier ages either.

It's so simple,these same hating clowns who were crying that their daddy nelo wasn't fighting in Sept they cried & cried he was scared etc. Yet when asked who tf can nelo face more dangerous or skillfull than jacobs & kov back to back they say he should've waited for Beterbieve who nobody picked to win vs gvoz & who is tailor made for canelos style way more than kov whos his kroptonite,& if he did fight Beterbieve these same clowns would say hes old at 34 & that" he was almost kod by a bum 2 fights ago"

Boxing is dead because of Canelo hating twats that are the same ilk that degrades a fighter who fights almost nothing but champions at multiple weights

I challenge all the haters to tell me who isn't a cherry picker in all of boxing in the last 20 yrs & why they "faced champions in their prime,unlike canelo". And then lets hear this all star list of names & ages when they beat them compared to Nelos. Of course you won't find any fighter who fits that bs criteria & likely has a bunch of asterisk wins & likely losses too.And lets include morales in that list also(Morales has 2 names on his resume that equate at that time to what trout was when nelo fought him,& a bunch of losses;& only floyd likely compares to nelos resume)

I challenge you to find 1 fighter who has made his name by fighting more fighters that were 35 and older as Canelo has. And to cristisize morales record just proves your level of groupie love. The dude has 6 fights with prime versions of pac and Barrera alone. That surpasses the level of comp Canelo has faced by far. And that's not even counting his fights against Kevin Kelly, maidana and Danny Garcia. Ironically he's a fighter that perfectly fits your question of who is a fighter that isn't a cherry picker. If there was a fight that didn't happen with him, it's because the other guy didn't want smoke (like Hamed) not him. Can you same the same about Canelo?

Geez, Erik has been in more wars than I've had hot dinners and he's still sharp as a tack. Real legends speak the truth. Fkn love Erik.
