Comments Thread For: Spence Promises "All-Out War" Against Alvarez At 160 But Canelo Wants 168 Titles Instead

Yep, it’s still prize fighting. I’d love to see Canelo fight Beterbiev @175 or even @168 if Beterbiev can make it. But it’s the toughest challenge with maybe the least financial gains. If the Bud fight isn’t going to happen, then Nelo having to drop a class and Spence moving up two wouldnt be the worst thing to happen. Not dying to see Caleb Plant, BJS marginally better. Hard to imagine anyone giving him much trouble anyway. It wouldn’t happen, but Spence v GGG wouldn’t be awful either.

I'd actually be very keen on Spence vs GGG. It would be an interesting fight between the orbital breakers.

Spence would have to be ****** to take a Canelo fight. Canelo will get all of his advantages per usual, announce the fight late, he'l be allowed to take his PEDs, judges will all be in his pockets. Spence would basically just be selling his 0 to Canelo for more $$ cuz he'd get less money fighting bud and thats FACTS.

No fighter should ever sell their belt or their 0 to Canelo EVER.

He's no fool. Everyone in the fight game knows the biggest fight is Spence/Pac at 147. That fight enhances a Spence/Crawford fight and makes it bigger for international audience. Smarten up!

Smarten up? Maybe you need to learn to read what both Spence and Bud have said only recently which is they feel they don't need each other - which is plain silly. Manny vs [either] is still good but it's not the real supremacy fight the division is crying out for. But carry on, you keep defending the never ending WW farce.

Here’s a list of guys PAC fought in the last 8 years;

Bradley x 3 (lost one)
Marquez (got KO’d)
Rios (Rios was coming up in weight and had just lost to Alvarado)
Algieri (virtual unknown)
Mayweather (got beat)
Vargas (why)
Horn (got beat)
Mathysse (irrelevant at 147)
Broner (coming off a draw and a loss)
Thurman (the first legit WW PAC fought and won).

Prior to that, PAC fought Mosley who had just lost to Floyd and had a draw with Moraa.
Before that, there were the catch weight fights with Oscar, Margarito and Cotto.

In the last 8 years, look at Canelo’s resume.
Canelo is 30 and is looking to unify 160.
Your silly argument just shows your lack of historical facts on boxing.
PAC is going to fight Mikey Garcia or Khan next and you are going to tell those are great match ups.

Nah, my point was that ALL long-reigning champs have more than a few mismatches on their record. It's as true for Canelo as it is for Pacman. Nowhere did I say Canelo had more or less mismatches than Pacquiao.
You're a Pac hater, obviously. I'm not. Not a Canelo hater either.
You missed the point and got flustered. Not a good look, imo.

Mismatches when you are an up coming boxer and trying to make a name for yourself, of course everyone has those.
But you mentioned Hatton’s brother - Canelo fought him in 2011. It was a mismatch for sure BUT now imagine Canelo fighting Sergio Martinez in his next fight or some bums like Rios in the prime of his career when he’s considered an ATG
