Comments Thread For: Callum Smith on Canelo: I Don't Think Anyone Beats Him, Maybe if He Keeps Moving Up

[Boxing Scene]

Yeah. Move up and run straight back down. ***in coward

[Boxing Scene]

no, he won't

fuck me dude, you have been here 10 years, wtf ?

ATG is... resume only

So what. 14 here.

GGG literally landed his jab on Canelo all day in both fights lol. I didn't see him taking away that weapon at all. Canelo is a great fighter but man some of y'all are sucking hard on the guy right now.

This was more about taking things away, not taking it all against elite fighters.

He took away the body work which was seen as a huge key. It’s probably not possible to take GGG’s jab away, but Canelo definitely took a lot of things away from GGG to the point where his power punching was largely not an issue and in turn thrived off his own power and body punching.

It’s not sucking hard to admit someones skill. GGG got walked down by a smaller man, his body punching taken away, and out power punched. Let’s not act like as impressive as GGG was with his jab, Canelo wasn’t equally impressive with what he was able to do. They were both incredible fights, whether you agree with the outcomes or not.

You can still be a hater and respect someones ability.

I don't hate on Canelo, I said in my original comment that he was a great fighter. Though the only round out of 24!!! he 'walked GGG down' was in fight 2, round 5, and Canelo lost that round pretty clearly.

Canelo also got outlanded by 50+ and 30+ punches in each fight. The average punch landed by Canelo was about as hard as the average punch landed by GGG. Hardly a dominant performance by any stretch for Canelo.

The man who did take away GGG's jab - Derevychenko - actually had a legit claim to beating him. Canelo fought well in both fights but to act like he got any more than 4 rounds in either, is a stretch and pretty sad.

It's fair to credit and praise fighters, but we should keep the praise/criticism within reasonable bounds.

“Like I said before, Saunders, Charlo, and Andrade are better fighters. Simple.” Sure they are. Because they’ve been fighting nothing but killers their whole careers and not cans. Their resume says it all

I’ve seen Fanboys before but you take the cake.

I'm not a fan of Charlo at all, typical wrong mor0n. Where have I said or implied I was a fan of Charlo? I haven't. Charo been fighting low levels willingly. Andrade and Saunders, can't say the same for them. They're trying to get big fights.

Let me ask you this, how come bums like Fielding and middling UK fighters get all the big fights but Saunders can't?

what are you saying... ?

are you saying that you are also unaware that ATG is based solely upon resume?

there is a word for that LMAO

a fighter has got to have those names if he wants to be regarded as a ATG dude, you should know that

that is the very basics of boxing

any other discussion is P4P... which is yea, mostly opinion and bullshlt

I'm sure you know that, right ?

[aboutfkntime]

straight from the horses mouth

* his defence is superb...
* he takes away your strengths...
* his opponents become inhibited, because of those sharp punishing counters

the casuals will still b,b,b,b,but.... and not be able to figure out why Golovkin could not get his game going, and could not throw those trademark body-shots

I bet that will be the most accurate post in this thread

This is a direct quote from you.
“Like I said before, Saunders, Charlo, and Andrade are better fighters. Simple”. You Any more implication needed?

These guys aren’t trying to get the big fights. They avoid each other and try and stay busy fighting cans so they don’t risk taking a L therefore loosing out on a Canelo payday. You dummy

[Biolink]

Agreed. He's hard to hit, has a solid beard even when you do land on him, and he has an efficient offensive game that see's him land lots of eye catching power shots. Judges seem to favor him too. I think some styles would do better than other against him, but it's difficult for me to envision him losing when you consider all of those factors.
