Comments Thread For: WBO Prez: Canelo Wants To Remain Light Heavyweight Champ

[mawoodhouse]

Why are these organizations protecting this guy? Make him fight mandatories like other champs would have to geez.

If Canelo fights at mw again it should be obvious to you all that it will be vs Andrade(he'll ko andrade). And if he fights at smw it'll likely be against Smith(hed win by body ko just like his older brother liam.)or maybe Benevidez. At lhw he would likely fight Beterbieve because theres nothing Beterbieve has that should scare Canelo at this point (if you think so you're crazy/hater or both) Beterbieve is smaller than Kovalev & has been dropped recently. And he has no special fx sorta speak. Hes a straight up brawler who Canelo would likely outbox but it would be a 50/50 fight still,& that's why nelo will take those fights maybe not next but soon,he has proven that he will fight any champion in almost any weightclass by now after beating the best at 154/nelo weight/160/& who was ranked best at lhw when he signed vs him. Hes taken several fights where he was 50/50 or underdog throughout his career

[Jab jab boom]

totally agree... not interested in Ramirez at all

but I think they will select him for a Mexican showdown

all the guys you mentioned are better

Benavidez would be a good opponent, that could be a great fight

and for the record, to show my consistency.. Those are the only names I'd think would be suitable for ggg as well. Unless, he wants to give Sergey a rematch because Sergey arguably beat him.

Canelo has proven twice he not going near Andrade and 175 isn't as strong as you think

Here we go with this size advantage BS. Planting the seed for a weight drain strategy. Supposedly Canelo just knocked out a viable and game Kovalev.

Why is there a size advantage in fighting the other guys at 175? How can you hold a title in a division you are knocking guys out at but some how be too small to be there?

There is no size advantage in a fixed fight...

[Boxing Logic]

Only fight I care about is Bivol but at 175 not 168. 168 is fine if Bivol goes down there and beats Callum Smith first, and looks healthy and normal, but I dont want the first 168 fight to be vs Canelo and then suddenly Bivol gets dropped by the first punch, or gasses after 4, and no one can tell if Canelo is just that much better than him or if he was dead at the weight. That's not the way to make big important fights. Either establish Bivol at 168 first, since we know Canelo already looked strong and healthy there (vs Fielding), or do it at 175, where Canelo just looked excellent, and Bivol also fights.

Great fughin point
Canelo won’t even step into the same room as Beterbiev or even Gvozdyk
He might take a calculated risk against Bivol but something tells me it won’t be at light heavyweight , rather and most probable at 168

[ramplamp]

No Zurdo, and not because I don't think it would be a good, competitive fight. I just don't want to see that Top Rank cherry-picking product get the undeserved opportunity. Let him keep fighting cab drivers and do a Jesse Hart trilogy.

Lol...We will soon see how legit this fight was when he is in with the young monsters at light heavy.

If he avoids the stiff comp completely then we also know what’s up.
