Comments Thread For: Canelo Vacates WBO Light Heavyweight Title; Reign Lasts 6 Weeks

You mean to tell me that there's not going to be a unification bout between himself and Beterbiev?

A lot to address here -

Trout was not washed up but he was average at best.

Floyd was not washed up but he SCHOOLED Canelo

Lara not washed BUT it was a 155lbs catchweight fight (he won)

Golovkin was not washed up but the fight should've happened 18 months earlier when Golovkin was 34 not when he was 35 due to the stalling by Alvarez who ducked by vacating the WBC strap.

Jacobs was not washed up BUT had a rehydration clause inflicted on him in his own weight class?

Other than those the rest on his resume were big names from previous era's who were old or vulnerable.

The so called big fights of his were not clear wins - robberies, controversy, poor judging... Canelo always gets the benefit of the doubt.

After defending the WBC middlweight against Khan Canelo had to fight mandatory challenger Golovkin but he instead chose to vacate to fight for a title at 154lbs? Only to come back in his next fight to fight Chavez JR at a 164lbs catchweight? Clear clear Golovkin duck from Canelo in 2016!

He thought Mayweather was washed up, and Lara & Jacobs had weight clauses. Jacobs came in 2lbs above the second day weigh in because that's all he could afford. He was still drained.

A rehydration limit, on a 160lb fighter, for a 160lb weight limit...and then he went and fought at 168 and 175 (both also with hydration clauses)
