Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Considering Anthony Dirrell As Canelo's Next Opponent

[-DSG-]

You got spence off a year layoff and a major car accident about to fight danny garcia and you got lomachenko off a year layoff fighting teofimo lopez.

This is weak from canelo.

DAZN can't. They just spent a year and a half campaigning against how they were the alternative to PPV and were going to kill PPV.

I'm sure Arum would love to whip up a big money PPV card if he had guys in shape. His two cards next week are mismatches and tune ups, and I'm not mad at that. These cards were put together on like 10 days notice. But as time goes on, we will need big fights.

That’s very true. I guess it is what it is. We will have to ya he what we can for now

Pascal's last three fights are Bivol, Browne and Jack. All three top 10 LHW's and he went 2-1

Anthony Dirrell isn't even the best Dirrell. His last three opponents are Benavidez, Yildirim and Han. Got KO'd by Benavidez, beat Yildrim because he did what all Dirrells do and quit before the fight ends, and nobody has ever heard of Han.


And you're gonna act like Dirrell is the better fighter because Kovalev is gonna fight him. **** outta here.

No Canelo fan was rooting or even thought of an Anthony Dirrell. People are ducking my threads cause they know I plan out what makes business sense.

Again, Dirrell, Pascal, Devry.... ALL HAYMON FIGHTERS. I could care less tbh, but if it’s out of the three I rather have former Champions in facing in Canelo.

Therefore, since you’re justifying Pascal, be 100 widdit if the fight gets made cause I’ll just bet you’ll cry when Canelo beats him and not give him credit.... why... cause you same girls cried about “war torn” status with Kovalev but somehow mysteriously it’s ok now that Pascal is mentioned... lol

You guys won’t give Canelo credit. It comes with the territory. Only pussays don’t want the Beterbiev fight. That’s the fight I want and Bivol. The younger Canelo is the better are his chances.

The problem is that Pascal is 37, What does Alvarez gains from beating a 37 guy who has been stopped by Kovalev twice, not gonna lie tho, I like Pascal more than Dirrel, Derevyanchenko so much more than Pascal, would make for a fun fight.

Pascals recent preformances against browne and jack he was in the fight and could do some damage ,hes also got a granite chin and heart

Dirrel in whatever fights ive watched him in and i did watch them i just forgot whom it was with.he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights and doesnt offer much back in the way of a threat,most certainly not to a fighter the calibre of canelo

Pascal would make it interesting at least

[Stuntman Mike]

Now andre dirrel he was a wasted talent

The boxing ability he showed against froch by beating him imo
And then his fight with abraham its a real pity his career went down the toilet with the dq ko / dive

Still not sure how i feel about that but the guy should have been given an oscar for the post fight "im not a coward" lines

Such potential ruined that night

I noticed some fans are optimistic for Pascal...

You don’t know the power of Canelo haters. If this gets made and Canelo wins he won’t get credit. I don’t want this fight. But if Haymon actually gives GBP these opportunities to just make these fights then it’s better than waiting for Matchroom politics. remember Callum Smith wanted like $10m+. Haymon fighters in the current mention won’t get such a premium which is GBp is looking at options outside of Matchroom

[aboutfkntime]

wtf ?

Cashnelo and Saunders can take a pay cut

/problem solved

is this gonna be the new excuse for lesser fights

[aboutfkntime]

Good catch, if they can make a ppv DAZN then maybe they could afford to pay a top opponent... as a matter of fact... I think a ppv with any top boxing stars would do very very well right now since we haven’t seen boxing at all... just look at the ratings for the nfl draft this year as a reference... people were dying to see something in sports live and the draft broke all ratings records this year because of it. It’s a shame none of these big heads in boxing are even bringing up ppv.... it’ll be huge, I can say that pretty darn confidently

that could be a good point

but not sure how that would fit in with the DAZN model

Of course canelo wont get credit for beating pascal but he will save more face and his legacy of taking tough fights even when not required would go down better

Dirrel would get merced

[aboutfkntime]

wait, wut... ???

so... Derevyanchenko, who weighed more than 160 for his first 5 professional fights... who weighed more than 160 in 9 of his 15 pro fights so far... and who has faced at least half-a-dozen super-middleweights to date... should NOT be expected to fight above 160...

... and yet Canelo, who had never weighed more than 155, and never faced a middleweight opponent... WAS expected to fight Golovkin at 160 immediately, with no tuneup?

LMAO

some of you dudes are bltches

I am not interested in Derevy either, but you bltches could at least keep it real
