Canelo held to much higher standards than the rest.

When you're the "face" of boxing, you should EXPECT to be held to a higher standard

[Combat Talk Radio]

Andrade fights literally bum after bum after bum yet “it’s all good he beats Canelo tho”

Charlo fights literally bum after bum “ hey lions only Canelo ducking”

Bjs again bum after bum “ canelo don’t want him he scurrred”

Smith bum after and bum and gets beat in the process “ canelo ducking smith too he don’t want that Smoke”

Canelo beats Jacobs and Kova back to back then faces a champ in Murata who against anyone else would be “a helluva fight” but since it’s Canelo “ this sucks no one wants to see this shame on canelo”

Lol seriously you can’t make this ****tt up.

Canelo is held to such ridiculous standards it’s hilarious.

You forgot that Crawford can spark B and C-level opposition yet still get called #1 P4P - completely ignoring that Carnelo's resume and title history in the past 10 years ALONE destroys Crawford's whole career. Hell, HIS LAST WIN - ALONE - destroys Crawford's whole damn resume.

I still puzzled why several of the other Middleweights did not make serious overtures to Murata to get this fight. It's a huge fight in Japan. Andrade, Charlo, Derev and Koborov all sat on their hands and let this slip by.

"face" of boxing = #1 P4P.

So why isn't Crawford held to a higher standard then?

Agreed. Plus very beatable by that whole bunch imo. I like Murata fine enough, but he seems relatively basic and a solid step below world class. I feel the same about Brant btw (insane work rate in Murata I aside) just to address that up front.

I never said Murata wasn’t a Top 10 MW ,

But Canelo doesn’t believe in weight classes so I said there’s over 15 better names ahead of Murata between 154 - 175 , I just picked a random #. I’ve never claimed to be a expert just a opinionated fan but Here are 15 Names Id rather Canelo fight instead of Murata
Andrade
Golovkin
Charlos
Saunders
C Smith
Benavidez
Plant
Mungia
Hurd
Bivol
Devrechenko
Eubank
Gilberto
Betwrbiev

Even if you want to take some Names off , You must agree that there’s at least 10 names in there that you’d rather see Canelo fight instead of Murata.

Murata would beat Smith and Saunders if they fought like they did just their last fights.

Andrade and him would go 12. I can see Murata winning at least 4 Rounds.

I think Zurdo wayyy overrated.

Eubank has a TERRIBLE corner.

The rest I would be down to see. But none outside GGG offer the viewership that Murata would bring. America isn’t the only country in the world FYI. Japan and Asia does exist with millions of ppl.

- -Arum is picky who his fighters fight.

[AJ's Boy]

As he should be when he’s paid higher than everyone else combined and proclaimed by many to be pfp king.

It’s an honor to be honest.

Nelo is the standard

Moving the goal posts. You know damn well p4p #1 doesnt always equate to Face of boxing.

As for crawford, hes on the other side of the street, remember? Pbc cucks dont want none of him
