Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant: Canelo Payday Will Draw 160-Pounders To 168

[Metacom]

Right, id like to see any of them go up two decisions and beat an old champion... bud would have to go to 60 and beat ggg... which I’m sure he can but won’t ko him... Loma would have to have Pacquiao at 47 and I don’t think Loma can win that, and monster doesn’t have an old champ at two weights above him so the closest “old” guy for him to test himself would be Carl frampton at feather weight... that’s what canelo just did and knock the old Champ out

Let's be honest if you're really a fan of the sport. Canelo didn't KO an old champ, he paid an old champ who's near the end of his career and never got a decent pay for all his work a nice well deserved retirement to spar for a few rounds then take a fall.

Canelo, Kovalev, and canelo'sdie hard fans won. Real fans of the sport lost.

Looks like Tyson fury isn't the only one transitioning boxing into WWE

Again you are basing it on potential, canelo has done it... Crawford and Loma have to go back a division beat and unify, then go up two from there and beat a champ too... they won’t do that, and until they do... their potential or the “eyeball” test doesn’t warrant a better ranking p4p against canelo if canelo already did that

wait, so your main criteria is that Canelo went back to 160 after beating a paper champion at 168, edged out a close decision over jacobs, and then moved up to fight a clearly worn down aged fighter on short turnaround at 175? Now you're getting ridiculous. You're ignoring that crawford and Loma both unified in weight classes and in the case of Crawford, at 140 he became the only undisputed champion in any weight class since 2006. You're too much of a Canelo fan to be objective.

That’s not the main criteria, but you can compare their careers and canelos resume and accomplishments beats what and who those other guys beat.

You forget Usyk unified cruiser? Crawford hasn’t beat anyone at 47 and Loma beat linares but linares isn’t that Great. I am a canelo fan and you’re too much of canelo hater to recognize that he is the number one p4p at the moment. Let’s just see once the updated p4p list come out... boxrec has had canelo number one for a while now

1. Usyk did it after Crawford. Crawford was the first one to do it since 2006. 2. Crawford and Loma dominate and exceed expectations, Canelo has close fights where he mainly gets close decision wins. 3. Boxrec list is a huge joke and a weak argument. They also have usyk as #26 and inoue as #32 while Smith and Santa Cruz are in the top 10.
If you feel Canelo is #1, that your opinion, but pretending as of its a cut and dry case is a joke. Since Lara, his biggest name opponents have all been 35 and older except for jacobs. Other guys haven't faced the best due to politics, Canelo hasn't faced the best available by choice.

Crawford and Loma dominate but against who? Ok, let’s wait and see till the updated p4p rankings come out and let’s see if people agree with you or agree with me. Im sure canelo will be 1st in most lists
