Comments Thread For: Canelo: Probably 'Very Difficult' To Return To Middleweight

[whoseyourdaddy]

I.E: Canelo needs people to fight each other so that he'll have fewer opponents to be protected from.

No you piece of shït the thing is they have to EARN it!They have done shït to entice Canelo, let alone the masses. Do I want Canelo to fight them? hell yeah!? but I certainly want them cowards to take a F**ing risk and fight someone with a pulse. That's all.

Again let me remind you Charlo & Andrade avoided Lara like the plague yet Canelo faced him, wouldn't you want to see them in a fight where they are not necessarily the favorites? No more High school janitors anymore!

For Canelo to really Impress I would like to see him measure his potential and fight, Oscar Benievedez, Callum Smith, Biertebev, Bivol. I'd even be happy with him fighting Callum Plant or BJS. He fights these guys I'd be impressed with him. Hes not fooling boxing fans with alot of these matchups. Hes fooling the Casuals but not those that know boxing. He should truly want to measure his potential due to being in his prime right now.

I don't bet for him to lose at all. I just want him to unify a division rather than continuously look for the oldest and or weakest available champion in another division.

Well that would be a fair argument however he was a live dog. Canelo moves up TWO weight classes to face a guy that just KOd a young stud. That is an epic achievement something Andrade or Charlo would not have accomplished

I'm sure hes going to get right on that just for you, after all you MUST be a satisfied vip customer at all costs!

Those fighters your listing have done nothing to suggest they would be more dangerous than Kovalev. Beterbieve is 34,by the time he can possibly fight Canelo haters would claim he aged him(hed be going on 36) & that he was "washed up "& considering he was dropped by a complete journeyman recently he would likely have been dropped again soon so that would become another excuse to discredit the 5'8" fighter breaking records & fighting all the biggest names around his weight his entire career & is just getting started despite having an atg resume & will soon surely be FOTD.

Kovalev was much bigger than Beterbieve,whom is tailor made for Canelo to destroy his face first style having self

Kovalev has no luck with low blows lol

Sorry, I just had to...

For you to even believe Kovalev is more dangerous than Beterbeiv or Bivol just proves to me you're a Canelo Fanboy. I'm not a ggg or Canelo Fanboy I'm just agreeing with Larry Merchant and Andre Ward in my assessment. If you're a CANELO Casual boxing fan theres nothing wrong with that. I totally understand, you're going to favor Canelo in all that he does. That's cool. The boxing world needs Canelo fans as well as Boxing fans and Casuals. Nothing wrong with that. Canelo Casual fans are important too. CHEERS

He can win 168 belt MW is done. GGG would have no problem at 168 also they will age GGG to end of next year

[Califire209]

I always knew he would fight Triple G again, his handlers just wanted to age him another year

[yankees7448]

I genuinely hope you read my post & give me an honest response to the pts I make,esp. Crawford/Loma & that no boxer can even compare to what Nelos doing, you can't honestly have ever believed nelo would fight still champ Kovalev at 175 ever?

When I first started following Canelo I totally did not expect him to fight Kovalev let alone KO him.

You can't see that he basically unified middleweight except for 1 single meaningless belt,& unlike Crawford & Loma & especially ggg

As long as there is one major belt still held by someone else then he did not unify the division.

Nelo didn't get gifted vacant belts or beat unheralded no names for the belts,he beat Jacobs in his absolute top moment & prime as well as being the top middleweight besides ggg

He did get gifted the WBC franchise title (whatever TF that means) which allowed him to avoid a mandatory fight with Charlo.

Compare that to Crawford who won his belts off the likes of Indongo & Postol(decent wins but do you honestly think they are the gggs & Jacobs of 140?),& Crawford immediately vacated his belts to face who? Jeff the hornet Horn who has Crawford faced since then? Nobodies & completely overmatched cherries like Khan.

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.

Loma has decent wins over mostly unknown walters who wasn't p4p & didn't have any big win other than a badly overmatched & fading Donaire & had just drawn with C level Sosa & since he faced Loma he hasn't fought again. Thats still lomas best win along with Linares & Campbell imho. Who would you say linares & Campbell equate to on nelos resume? Imho they equate to Trout & cotto(difficulty wise because skillwise I think Trout/Cotto were at the time much better) neither of which are nelos best wins. Linares is a known glassjaw as much as khan. And Russell jr was just too small for Loma(honestly how can anyone see differently)& loma publicly plans on moving down in weight before fighting Haney(duck by definition)

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.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Yarde a young stud. He's got potential to be sure but when I heard about how he trained for the fight (little to no sparring at all) I really have my doubts as to how prepared he actually was.
