Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Canelo Would Never Fight Jermall; Charlo Is Best Middleweight In The World

[Oldskoolg]

He don't feel the same about Andrade they way he do Jermall. Although giving up his WBC belt to franchise himself is weird AF.



I do like that word nationalism tho, it's been slipping my mind how to categorize them. Thank you for that.

That’s what it’s based on. Can’t use race as Canelo is whiter than I am but I suspect if he was Argentinian, Uruguayan, or Paraguayan he wouldn’t have the support he does from
a particular demographic. And yes, the avoiding of Andrade is actually totally and completely shameful, moreso than Charlo as they both fight for the same app

[Get em up]

The biggest fights for Charlo is at 168 right now cause it seems cross promotion is out of the question at least at 168 there is Plant and Benavidez. I really just wanna see who is the top dog somewhere in the sport

I had to come to LMAO!!! Sure Ellerbe, Sure...🤣

[BirdSong]

it's ok for some fighters to be hypejobs but other's can't be

...until Mannix mentions Andrade and Charlo starts losing his shit.

Canelo has this strong sense of entitlement where he will say “his style isn’t good for me so I refuse to fight him” and then his man fans will say “well who has that person fought?” Or “he doesn’t draw enough fans” something or other yet say nothing when he fights the likes of a Fielding or a Khan or Liam Smith etc etc. I’ve never seen a champ of this magnitude who feels so entitled to avoid fighters who have the beat chances to beat him.....and fans who are just so driven by nationalism who roll with that and make excuses for him

Spot on. He’s all Mexico got

I would love to see Canelo-Benevitez because it’s a great style match up but he will come out with a excuse to make that

Canelo would beat both Charlo brothers in the same night.

[N!Ck F.]

Andrade may arguably be the most boring fighter in boxing. He fights like an amateur, has ZERO fan base. He couldn’t sell out his gym. Fighters like Andrade hurt boxing, when ppl tune in on a Saturday night to watch a FIGHT and they see ppl like Andrade it hurts the sport.

This is the professionals ranks, excitement and putting on a show are key components. Andrade will never do that. To say he’s the best is insulting...he’s the best at running for sure. And Charlo goes life and death with korobov and is suddenly elite?
Let’s see Charlo step up and take on Zurdo, benavidez or Plant...

[Bronx2245]

Ellerbe providing some hype! Jermall needs to win tonight, then go after Caleb Plant @ 168! Canelo is not coming back to 160!

[FLY TY]

Canelo would beat both Charlo brothers in the same night.

Canelo himself doesn't believe that.

Funny thing though, by Dazn trying to "restructure" his deal, it seems as if they're tired of the ducking, just like everyone else. So he may have to end of fighting one of 'em at least.
