Why didn't canelo stay at 175 to fight beterbiev?

[MulaKO]

Because butterbieve is a nobody plain n simple.

This coming from who
Oh yeah KIDbazooka
Punk azz biatch
Haven’t people embarrassed you enough
I guess the kid in your sig really does ring true

[MulaKO]

Before Beterbiev sign with Top Rank, he had the same offer from Eddie Hearn, he would have signed with Eddie Hearn if they guaranteed him a fight with Usyk, after 2 weeks they refused, so he went to top rank to fight for unification (kovalev or Gvozdyk) instead.

Completely forgot about this
He wanted revenge on Usyk for beating him in the amateurs

Its unfortunate ppl call everyone a bum nowadays. It has gotten so bad that we must live in the weakest era of boxing if every fighter that loses and every champ is a bum. I thought GGG won the first and lost the second. Imagine if these fans existed earlier when great fighters would literally lose to lesser fighters at a higher frequency because they boxed so much more. Boxing would of never developed as a sport and would be much more akin to homeless bum fights.

Imo past fighters had that killer instinct. Today it's all just an illusion.

I had both fights for GGG 8-4 the first time around and 7-5 the 2nd time. Best case scenario for Canelo in both scenarios was a loss and then a draw.

Canelo has so much talent but he choses to play these ****** ass games.

This is the problem with lower weight cash cows.

They're weight hoppers and no longer have respect for the traditional Champion vs Contender paradigm. Whether they're champion at that point, or hold no belts.

Canelo is the one making offers like he has a belt, when he doesn't. All that Smith, Saunders get is Money. He doesn't hold a belt at 168 and never did. What does beating Canelo right now do for Saunders or Smith? Just another title defense, except its a career high payday. It's also a high risk title defense as they could lose, so no wonder they're asking "for the moon" as Canelo put it.

Same with Floyd right now. It'd be interesting if fighters started pricing themselves out on purpose, to the point that a Floyd or canelo have no choice but to over pay.

Especially in Floyd's case. McGregor doesn't need Floyd. He can wait another year and do his UFC thing, and Floyd will still be waiting because who else is he gonna fight? Unless he plans on taking actual risks against world level boxers, he needs McGregor or Khabib. They don't need him.

This was a really good post. I had mentioned something similar earlier. The guys know Canelo doesn't want to fight certain guys so its either pay me what I want or fight the more riskier fight that could mess up your long term plans.

beterbiev not old enough like ggg and kovalev were. maybe when beterbiev is closer to 40 canelo might consider it.

I really do hate the games too. Fighters who look for every little advantage imo it hurts their careers. I can’t stand the catch weights, rehydration clauses, waiting for a fighter to get old, etc.

I mentioned GGG because OP sucks off GGG and goes out of his way to slam Canelo who has done 100 times more in his career then GGG and he is only 29...The hate Canelo gets is ****** and ridiculous EXPECIALLY when you look at the fighters the haters big up..Canel is THE CHAMP AT 160 YET HE KEEPS CHALLENGING HIMSELF

Rockyfielding, way past prime kovalev, James Kirkland, amir Khan, Saunders who's beat noone ever,waiting for ggg to get old, that's challenging yourself? 90 percent of his, 'top wins' were either past prime or he won by controversial decision or both.
