Comments Thread For: Hearn: It'll Take Canelo Going Completely Outside Weight Class, Comfort Zone To Get Beat

I'm not hating on Canelo. I'm just point out the fact that a lot of Mexican fighters are fighting bums from Europe and avoiding black fighters from American. Just pointing out facts. I don't think Canelo will ever fight a black fighter again.

If I was canelo I’d fight nothing but Mexicans that way we keep the money on the Mexican circle

[Robi13]

Charlo and Benavidez are his biggest threats. Any champ at 175 is unrealistic.

I agree 💯....

[Robi13]

Me either but only because 175 is too far for Canelo. It's no knock on Canelo.

Bivol said he can meet him at 68 how do you think that goes at 68

The Floyd fight wasn't close, it was a whitewash, despite that one garbage scorecard from CJ Ross who coincidentally hasn't worked a fight since turning in that garbage. As I said, styles matter, not the color of the fighter. You mentioned 3 guys who have more of a defensive/slick style (aside from Trout who is pretty balanced), if he were to fight Plant who is more of a boxer with the same type of slick style he would have the same trouble. It has to do with the styles, I highly doubt they're basing their match making decisions off of the fact fighters are black, the style presents more of a problem

He does have trouble with slick boxers and plant tries to fight that way but there are levels a plant isn’t on the floyd and Lara level of slickness add the fat that Canelo has improved immensely since the floyd and Lara fights and I don’t think I canelo has ANY issue with plant at all... if/when they fight Canelo will stop him or beat him via UD in a Not close at al type of fight

Canelo has fought 75yr old Mosely. He fought out of shape and out of boxing James Kirkland. He fought soft hitting Jacobs and beat them. He got gift decisions vs Lara and Trout. With the Mayweather fight included Canelo might of fought 8 black fighters out of 55 fights. Just saying.

[Robi13]

fight vs Golovkin was Jacobs last hurrah fight, he negotiated like a *** from Brooklyn, came heavy and big as possible and still crumble, fell on his knees, after that it was just money grab on that loss, made his name on losses vs Pirog and GGG

You mean black jacobs lost and made his name off of two stiff euro bums?! 😂

Would love if Usyk could somehow make Cruiserweight again and Canelo came UP.....Usyk doesn't punch very hard, so would be an interesting matchup! Usyk not very big.

[Robi13]

He can beat Bivol at 168 and he can beat Beterbiev if he waits until 2023/24 when he'll be nearly 40 yrs old.

2021 - Saunders and Plant

22 - mandatory and Golovkin

23 - Benavidez/Ramirez and Charlo or Bivol

24 - mandatory and Beterbiev

assuming they are all still around - some will get beaten or retire.

I like it... that’s a tough run

[Silver Spear]

The same MLK who made speeches about reparations....”we are coming to get our cheque”.....and the same MLK that spoke about about black economic empowerment? And what if he is the type of blacks person who agrees more with Malcolm X rather than early versions of King?

So you want socialism? MLK was not a smart economist and he was not known for his ideas about economy etc. He was known for wanting people to be judged on their character and not color. You miss the point if you continue to focus on color.

Those "weaker" punchers are all naturally bigger guys than Canelo. There's plenty of guys Canelo hasn't stopped on his way through divisions but he's supposed to stop arguably the top LHW. Gotcha.

They may be naturally bigger guys than Canelo but I have yet to see you respond to the fact that Beterbiev does not have GGG's chin or defense. AJ is considered by many the top HW yet he is also known or accused of having a suspect chin. I fail to see your point. I never said he is supposed to stop him either. You did.
