Comments Thread For: De La Hoya "Very Close To A Deal" For Canelo In Vegas This May

[Shadoww702]

No way clenelo is fighting Charlo, Plant, Benavidez and Andrade. They all are very active and aren't washed up.🥊

Jacobs wasn’t active and is washed up???

Why do I here Roger Mayweather yelling at you???

[Shadoww702]

Has there ever been a time in the sport when the "cash cow" has ever had such a difficult time finding an opponent? Maybe it happened before and I am forgetting but I don't ever recall Ali, Tyson, Leonard, ODH or Floyd not being able to get an opponent to agree to a deal.

No never! Floyd also was paying guys on average $5 million. These cats are turning down offers at well over $5 million. Heck Kovalov and Jacobs got extra fights making the same as what paid them against Canelo in their deals. Watch each one will make over $10 million in their next fights on DAZN...

What weight division does he plans on fighting at; 160 or 168? If he fights at 160, then it should be against Demetrius Andrade. He's young, undefeated and is the WBO's 160 pound Middleweight champion. As far as Jermall Charlo is concerned; He doesn't want no smoke with him. Otherwise, he would have never accepted that bogus WBC Franchise title in order to duck him.

In Canelo's defense, Callum Smith's team turned down the fight from what I have read. That would have been a top opponent in the 168.

They are also looking at Saunders and Plant. I'd love to see Canelo smash holes in Saunders. Cannot stand Saunders, Saunders is a grade A a$$hole.

It's pretty simple for Canelo - the criteria is as follows:

1. World recognised fighter who is on the slide.
2. Holds any kind of belt.
3. Is desperate to give in to negotiations just to get the career-defining pay-day that comes with a Canelo fight.


Additionally, I think Canelo will either fight at 168, or a catchweight of 165 if it's an MW.

If God was real and rainbows and lollipops paved the streets, and Canelo was a true fighter rather than just a businessman now posing as a fighter, I'd have him fight GGG, then Charlo, Andrade, Plant, Benavidez.
But we all know that the streets aren't paved with handjobs.

How about calling for Golovkin, Andrade, the Charlos, Saunders and the rest of the duck squad to quit fighting Uber drivers, day laborers, and field hands as well.

Wouldn't mind Bivol or BJS. Benavidez would probably be a distant 3rd option for me.

So Clenero says he wants to fight all over the world but didn't want to fight Murata in Japan. Pffft. I guess Golden Shower Promotions couldn't by off the judges in Japan.

He did want to fight Murata in Japan. But Bob Arum was asking for too much money I wager.

Eddie Hearn and Callum Smith are nuts if they turned down this fight. If Oscar is being truthful about the 3 or 4 times more than Smith has ever made, then Smith blew it. A win over Canelo and the rematch would be worth a fortune. A loss, so what. Losing to a future hall of famer has no shame. Bad move, if it's true!

whats even more interesting is there is no outcry behind that from the same posters who cried about any fighter turning down a career high payday, they are now silent.
