He isn't even considered a big MW by any stretch. There are other MWs like Jermall who are bigger than him. Canelo is capable of making 160 ibs. He just don't want the chore of maintaining his weight by not eating whatever he wants to, unlike when he fought at a higher weight. I can see his logic, but if he is disciplined, he could definitely make 160 ibs as he is not that big to begin with.

Canelo should never go back to MW, unless he wants to "Roy Jones" himself
there are good fights for him at 168, if he can get past Callum Smith he could become the SMW kingpin
not a good idea to stay at 175 either, he's too much of a midget for the top guys there

It isn't a fair comparison because no one would ever pull that "Let me take care of my side of the street first" nonsense with Canelo. It doesn't matter what side of the street Canelo is on people will move heaven and earth to try and get that fight. Crawford doesn't have that cache.
Depending upon how you choose to consider the World Series of Boxing Loma won his first title either in his 9th fight or his 3rd. Winning belts in 3 division and on the verge of unifying the 135 pound division by his 16th (or 20th depending upon WSoF) pro bout is quite impressive.
And loma won several of his belts off completely overmatced opponents & moved up in divisions that are stepping stone divisions unlike nelo in divisions its unheard of,hes never beaten anyone near canelos resume (has tons of excuses why though despite ducking Haney who would take whatever hes given & wants smoke now)
And to top it off Haney would be the marquee name lomas resume needs,& loma can't actually become unified without fighting Haney,funny how your standards of (not unified if theres still 1 belt left) don't apply to loma.
You are a colossal hypocrite that does mental gymnastics & can't even see how hypocritical your bs standards are.Last edited by kushking; 11-05-2019, 12:19 PM.

loma is not "going to be unified unlike canelo" as you erroneously claimed but in fact he was gifted a franchise belt for doing nothing that resembles the supposed criteria such as moving up to higher divisions,& in fact is actually planning on moving down in weight while already saying he won't fight Haney,the same Haney Arum/Loma bribed the WBC to break rules to avoid while feeding him weak Campbell who was not at all the rightful #1 contender but the weakest link by far instead of Haney.
And your pathetic excuse for giving Crawford a lifetime bum fight pass is that hes supposedly being ducked(complete bs,hes unwilling to sacrifice because hes happy fighting jobbers like Con.Its not a fair comparison to compare fighters like Crawford & his excuses of ducking the best against a fighter actually fighting almost nothing but champs.

Exactly who in boxing RIGHT NOW is taking more risks than Canelo? List them.

Are there Super Six Middleweight tournaments that are going on?
Who's unifying? TODAY, who is in the process of unifying in upcoming bouts?
Hey moron, just this past May Canelo unified the IBF, WBC and WBA belts when he fought Jacobs.
Canelo is holding belts in four different weight classes.
Name ONE person right now who's holding as many belts as Canelo.
And I'll ask again name ONE person who's taking more risks than Canelo. Don't be vague, idiot, NAME THEM.
I swear Canelo haters are the most moronic motherfuckers out there.

Blah blah blah. You're ok with Canelo picking and choosing his opponents and ducking fighters. Stop rambling and just say it openly. It would save you time typing and me time from reading rambling barely coherent nonsense.
You're actually acting like Crawford & Loma haven't "picked & choose cherries" way more often even going as far as loma jumping to 135 bribing wbc, planning on ducking Haney then jumping back down to 130 where he can beat up on smaller guys. Crawford vacated his belts without defending any of them,& he moved up to fight a string of fighters summed up by Horn being the best name out of all of them skillwise when he fought them. He fought a guy who got shot & doesn't have full use of his leg ffs,he then fought a complete conjob jobber like con after him being dropped repeatedly by complete D levels
I thought you would maybe be willing to be a grown up & actually be willing to admit that you were wrong for once on a site debating is the norm. But as usual nobody is willing to see how hypocritically biased the standards they rate fighters are.Last edited by kushking; 11-05-2019, 01:14 PM.

He's doing that by fighting weak champions. He didn't fight the real WBA champ at super middleweight butt boy. He fought the second best British fighter who held a title for the sanctioning body at the time.
I already told you *****. Don't be lazy.
Andrade poses no risk at all. Who has he beaten to be considered a worthy challenger? List his accomplishments.
Kovalev is a better opponent that the last couple of bums Lomachenko and Crawford have faced, better than Donaire who Naoya is facing.
It's not about me being lazy, it's about YOU backing up your claims.Last edited by Death_Adder; 11-05-2019, 01:09 PM.

You just discredited Canelos much more worthy franchise belt
yet your biased self sees no problem with Loma paying the wbc to let him jump the line(against the wbc rules) to fight the far weaker fighter than Haney whom was going to be fighting for the wbc belt
You are too biased to even realize how farcically hypocritical your nonsensical criteria for rating fighters is.
