Sorry if the title is confusing. But I just read this ****ty article:
https://www.************.com/2020/12...tur-beterbiev/
Basically saying that Canelo ducked a top opponent in Beterbiev (and ****ing Berlanga
) but this wasn't the first time I've seen something like this.
Canelo is obviously a middleweight/SMW and he simply got a 175 lb belt for the achievement. Is that really a bad thing? And is it as easy as everyone claims? Sure, Kovalev was past his prime, but how many middleweights could've jumped 2 weight classes to knock him out? Canelo was fighting at super welter just a few years ago smfh and he's called a coward for not fighting a top fighter who's naturally a few weight classes above him? Meanwhile most of you guys hating on Mexican Jesus have never laced up gloves before, nonetheless fought someone much bigger than you.
He's not the first, obviously. Cotto had a belt at 160. Floyd/Manny had belts at 154. All these boxers were undersized at their respective weight classes, so why do we give them **** for not having title defenses or fighting the absolute best at those weight classes?
