Comments Thread For: Golden Boy, DAZN Discussing Canelo Fighting Smith Or Saunders In November

[Mammoth]

Keith Idec sounds like a casual ffs... lol

“He’d help sell the bout better than the low-key Smith and the fight itself would be intriguing because Alvarez typically has had more difficulty dealing with southpaws than orthodox boxers...”

Lara and Trout were ages ago. It’s actually surreal that Canelo at such a young age was fighting and tagging back, scoring, against those elites.

To put in perspective about TRUE SWITCH hitters (discussed like Crawford or a once Ward) is that Jacobs would spark both Trout or Lara, the Brooklynite that can switch up and GAVE GGG PROBLEMS because of it. But that context isn’t said because even journalists have things against Canelo. If they jumped in a ring they’d know. The Canelo today is leagues above Ring IQ than back then, so Jacobs is a better context. This is like saying Lomachenko has problems with Salido types when that was ages ago...as if “adjustments” isn’t a sweet science procedure.

Idec subtextually hating on Canelo. If he really wanted to report good journalism he would’ve said, “BJS at 168, said by many fans and the eye test, doesn’t look great at all and sluggish... it would make Canelo the high favorite and win by KO.” That’s the honest truth.

I’ll even take “Smith is a more difficult opponent than BJS.”

I'd like an early Christmas gift of Canelo knocking punk Saunders out right in front of Saunders punk kid.

That would be nice to see but probably won't happen. Saunders will stink the place out trying to steal a decision.

The clenelo garbage selections continue. Fight skilled opponents like Charlo, Andrade and David Benavidez. This is why Mexicans from Mexico don't like him 🥊

DAZN is not showing Andrade any kind of love! Why don't they push for Andrade, even if Andrade had to move up to 168? I think Andrade and Tevin Farmer should follow Michael Hunter out the door! They're (Hearn included) not helping them get the fights they want!

I dont care who this guy fights anymore. All I hear is this guy that guy he will he won't AH forget about it. There are other fighters out there. Enough of it already. Playing the promo game on people at every turn.

Umm Charlo has a fight coming up and Benavidez just fought. Andrade some reason dazn won't approve.

There's gotta be a time line in one of the many universes this happens. Thing is, are we lucky enough to be living in it? Or are we living in the many timeliness where Saunders never "ready"?

Boy you love to contradict yourself? According to you Canelo doesn’t fight the best in his division, then in another post it’s GGG that doesn’t want to fight him. After that you bring up belts and how they don’t matter but you keep crying about Canelo getting a shot @ the WBC 168 lb crown. Enough, stop talking out of your @zz you obviously just a casual fan that only pays attention to big fights. Pep’s like you is why boxing is dying always crying about everything do us all a favor and remove yourself from this or any other boxing boards as you clearly shown you don’t know squat about the sport.

simple enough reply, ggg isn't the best. He's a 38 yr old pressure fighter who deserved to lose his last fight. So when I say Canelo now wants to fight him, that only confirms that Canelo doesn't want to fight the best. Canelo had his chance to fight ggg about 2 yrs before he did and he dropped his belt instead. He eventually fought him twice, got a gift draw and a judges assisted win but still couldn't get a clear win over a 36 yr old. Declined the opportunity to get that clear win and after he saw dervey handle ggg, he's now more willing. I'm not sure if you're playing dumb or if you're really just this dumb.

As far as the belts, me saying that belts don't mean anything and Canelo getting a manufactured cheap shot at a title is proof that belts don't mean much. Cmon, are you honestly a ret@rd? Canelo fighting a guy that was ko'd by Eubank jr in 3 would make him a "world champion" at 168? Can't you see how meaningless that is?

As far as being a fake fan, you just described yourself. Idiots like you are the only reason Canelo thinks he can get away with fighting a c level guy like Yidilgrim. Because instead of being a real fan and wanting to see the best fights get made, you let your love for Canelo overrule that and would prefer to see him get a cheap path to a belt than face a real challenge. You're too ****** to realize you're being conned. Either that, or you just love Canelo so much, that you'd prefer to see him avoid danger. Sucker ass fans.

[Jab jab boom]

At the end of the day Canelo is making more in one fight than you and 3 or more generations of your family combined will ever make.

There is no pleasing anybody now that they are exploring the only 2 current champions at 168 people are still complaining I think both are easy work for Canelo but Saunders would be more difficult than Smith plus it would be a shame for Canelo to take out 2 out of 4 bros if a kickboxer with 13 fights can come in with very little pro boxing experience and give Callum all he can handle I see Canelo TKOing him in under 8.

at the end of the day, I make good enough money that I don't need to keep talking about how much another man makes so that I can live vicariously through him like you lame pathetic Canelo fans do.

Smith and Saunders aren't the only 2 remaining champions at 168. You should learn boxing. There's an organization called the ibf. Maybe you've heard of them.

Lastly, if you want to get involved in my debate with someone else, you may want to look at the basis of it before sharing your unwanted opinion. The basis of my first post was that the other poster is insisting that Canelo will face Yidilgrim and not Smith or Saunders because he can do whatever he want regardless of want dazn does or doesn't approve. Doesn't look like that will be the case now, does it?

[GBP4LIFE]

I’m all for it as long as the WBC finds a way to include the Super Middleweight title into the equation, force Yildrim to take a step aside fee

[Nightfall]

Yea but Clenelo wants no part of Charlo. he's not afraid its just he doesn't look good like he does against his cherry hand picked opponents.
