Is Morales right or wrong about Canelo?

[boliodogs]

Morales is just a hater!
Canelo kos chavez, morales, barrera, marquez, salvador sanchez, margarito, chavez jr, and gilberto Ramirez on the dame night

What the fuc are you talking about???? He already fought walking punching bag Chavez Jr and could not knock him down let alone KO him. He is not in the same weight class with the others. Try to pay attention to real world boxing and keep up, Canelo is very good but I doubt Mexicans will ever consider him as good as Chavez or Sanchez because he isn't.

those were the most notable fights he could get.....was he supposed to wait on floyd? lol...he was 24.....

its circumstance....canelo wanted star power names...just so happened some of them were at the end of their rope when the fights happened....

was canelo supposed to get a time machine and be born sooner?

what stars is he avoiding that are more age appropriate?

Poor mistreated Canelo born too late.

El Terrible definitely has a point, no doubt!

Lol @ Curt bringing up the Floyd fight instead of GGG fights. There's no problem with him taking the Floyd fight, while Floyd was old, Canelo was too green on the other hand and it was a risk worth taking as Floyd isn't known as a fighter taking the years off his opponents' careers. Why not mention GGG fights instead? He was pretending he was a junior middleweight for 2-3 years before fighting GGG, while finally weighting more then GGG in the ring. He was pretending he was a junior middleweight while at the same time not being able to make the junior middleweight limit so he invented what became to be known as Caneloweight. Oh yes, he also threw his WBC belt in the trash in the process. He also put a 1 way rehydration clause on the smaller, old azz Cotto, while not being under the same clause himself.

Canelo has done a little bit of everything. Honestly, I don't think he's picking bad fights considering he's the cash cow right now.

So he fought Mosley at age 21

unified with Trout who was coming off of beating Cotto

fought p4p #1 Floyd

Lara who was at his peak and considered one of the best in and around the division

moved up and fought lineal champ Cotto coming off of knocking out Martinez and 180+lb Geale

undefeated "boogeyman" GGG coming off his best win over Jacobs

Jacobs coming off of a win over Chenko and going tooth and nail with GGG

So he's beaten hall of famers and champs who have held their own vs hall of famers along several other champs (with varying styles), all at an age when many other middleweights are just building their legacy (GGG was 33 before he faced his first reigning champ and Andrade has only fought a single regular champ at age 32)-- and now he's moving up to face a knock out puncher in his 4th division, yet that's somehow meant to be a knock against him?

same thing i say about canelo/golovkin applies to most here...

canelo was 27...was he supposed to fight him sooner and jump right up to MW and fight golovkin right off the bat? we cant take fighters and magically make their fights prime for prime.....thatd be fun and nice....but fighters peak or arrive at "star" status at different times....some make it quicker...others take more time.....what happened between golovkin/canelo wasnt someone playing the "waiting game" for the other guy to get old...it was canelo waiting until the time was right/best for him to make the move

he had to jump on floyd early or probably never get it....some of the other guys...i mean he was still on the come up against shane and shane just happened to be old and past it.....cotto still performed well but that fight hit its stride when it did....

it would be great if we could take all of the fighters canelo fought and make them their 27-29 year old versions...its just not possible...dont hate on canelo for being born when he was....thats just irrational

Didn’t he just jump up and fight kov straight off the bat, your argument is terrible
