Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Officially Vacates WBA Middleweight Title

[Marvlus Marv]

There is nothing happening at SMW, no monsters, just a bunch of so-so fights. On the other hand he could get himself back up to 175 because fleeing with Kov's belt before King Artur could get his hands on him doesn't count. Not having this smoke n mirrors shti.

“ This is his weight,” confirms Reynoso. “Anyone who wants to fight Canelo will have to meet us (at super middleweight). He’s not giving away anymore of his prime.”

Very good that he’s not willing to harm himself for money by fighting at a weight that may put him at a disadvantage. Too bad he didn’t have this same concern for others when he was weight bullying at 154/55 and then adding rehydration clauses for his opponents at 160, 168 and 175.

I’ll say it a 100 times for fans to understand the sport. The IBF has it 10lb morning rule. We might as well call it a “rehydration clause” disadvantaging fighters but fans cry about safety. Lol. You guys have no idea what you’re talking about. Lara would cut 11lbs to make 154. 11lbs?! It simply means Lara wouldn’t be over 10lb in the morning of the fight, but so then how would you explain Hurd or Jermall Charlo at 154? You guys think they’d just gain 11lbs like Lara on fight night? Lol. But fighters’ safety though.

Canelo only applied IBF morning rules. Chavez Jr. was a money grab and no fans even respect Chavez Jr. to begin with so spare the “cheated Chavez Jr. It’s ironic because Chavez Jr. under Nacho Beristain he was the best physique to have competed at 160 and not blowing up 25lbs when he was fighting Szbik or Andy Lee. Instead of Chavez looking bloated as fights past he actually put in the work. It’s his fault his skills aren’t on Canelo’s level, and it’s not Canelo’s problem if HBO allowed Jr. to gain McGregor type or gains on fight night when the Irishman started at UFC. I’ve never seen a boxer as gaunt as McGregor in his earlier fights. So instead of Chavez Jr. gaining 25lbs HBO days the only way Jr. could compete at 164 would to be actually train hard the way Spence Jr. would walk around 180lbs and make 147.

Then Jacobs. Jacobs bypassed the morning weighin and paid a $1mil fine from his $12mil check! Lol.

Kovalev? Kovalev has done the IBF morning rules before being a Champion so you’re out of luck...

Fielding? 10lbs morning rule big deal. Again, Loma did it vs Rigo. Wah wah..

Callum Smith? Hearn said there was no morning rule / rehydration clause.

So what are you guys crying about? You guys just repeat what other boxing fans say and you expose yourselves with not understanding how fighters cut weight.

Yeah Canelo had moved up his whole career unlike Hagler and GGG. “168 easy for me doe”

[Alf Stewart]

Andrade and Canelo have held championships in the same division for 7 years.

There’s a reason they haven’t fought.

Yes because one has fought elite opposition and the other has been content on fighting sub par opponents.

Don’t worry Liam Williams is going to wreck Andrade.

[Alf Stewart]

There are unfair double standards in boxing, but if you believe in facts and truth you have to hold canelo to a higher one? Why? Simple - he has all the money and power. You cannot give him credit fr fighting someone like Callum smith as "taking on all the best challenges" when Demetrius Andrade is being denied of that opportunity by these guys refusing to fight him. It's unfair discrimination in boxing in favor of the powerful against the powerless and it can only be fixed if we have 1 belt, 1 ranking, and a set of rules where you have to fight you mandatories.

So you have absolutely NO PROOF of an alleged duck.����

[Alf Stewart]

Look at this f**got still obsessed with ABC belts.

Go play with your barbies, nerd.

Great uneducated response, I presume you come from a single parent family unit, your mum must be so proud 🤣

However, let’s get back to the point in question, 155 is not an official weight limit of SNY weight group in boxing, especially when one fighter is trying to drain the other fighter to fight at an imaginary weight.

I started to read what you were writing here but as I scrolled , I realized that you just typed a whole lot of nothing. Bottom line, who TF is canelo to implement his own rehydration clauses? And you act as if he’s doing the lords work by doing so. He was content to outweigh opponents himself consistently when he fought at 154/55, so much so that he actually stopped doing same day weigh ins because he got tired of being called on it, but the second that could’ve been the case against him when he moved up, he made sure to drain them with His self implemented rehydration clauses. It’s hypocritical but you defending that is no surprise as you’re clearly a hypocrite.

[Ry92]

Woulfnt be suprised to see ggg vs murata for wba quick work then muginia or vice verse with maybe a 3rd n only challenge fight if vs charlo unless ggg got juice in the tank then ggg should decisively defeat charlo. I truthfully got charlo as equal to or 1 step below prime jacobs which y aint want the jacobs fight when miracle man was at 160 and pbc

[Zodogg]

Nonsense as usual, Charlo is fighting nobodies. No one ducking the coke head. Canelo has fought far better boxers no fear of a guy who fought nobody.

Thats what you say but Canelo says different. Passing his panties not to fight against a athletic non weight drained boxer.

[Zodogg]

Charlo would be a money grab for Canelo but I hope he does it sometime. Can't see Haymon letting it happen though.

Couldn't Charlo just unify? Andrades been begging for that fight and offered to cross the road to get it.

I want to see that fight too hopefully we get it this yr. But Canelo said a month ago he would fight Charlo
