So all this chess stuff is nonsense. It’s all based on popularity. That’s why canelo can just decide that he doesn’t want to face ggg again even though he’s never been able to get a clear win over him. It’s why he chose to drop his wbc belt and have a franchise belt created for him instead of facing charlo for it. And Kovalev and smith were both low hanging fruit. Just like Liam smith was and just like Rocky fielding was. Lastly, what does your reply have to do with canelo turning down offers to fight charlo and plant ? Stop deflecting.
    Oh I see. So Charlo can't move up in weight or go after low hanging fruit because he's not popular?

    Some groupie followers of certain fighters will make any excuse they can for their favorites I guess.

      I don’t even like charlo. I’m just stating facts about the sport. You should try following it before commenting. Charlo was champion at 154 and instead of challenging him Canelo picked beefy smith. Charlo made himself canelos mandatory at mw and canelo dropped his belt. Canelo prefers fighting euro white guys , preferably from the uk. Aka low hanging fruit.

        Charlo in turn rejected an offer to fight Canelo. According to Jermell and De La Hoya.

          Lets just say Clenelo and Billy Joe Sandals have some
          things in common

            but we have no specifics about that deal other than coke head Oscar saying “lucrative”, which means nothing. We know for a fact canelo turned down 25 mil guaranteed to face charlo.

              Read your post.

              Bro you speculating, neither you, nor I, nor anyone on this forum know if DAZN approved Andrade for a full unification, you don't work for DAZN, you don't work with Reynoso and you don't work for Hearn, you are not on the backstage to really know what happened there, so I will totally dismiss the "DAZN approved" because it's not based on substancial facts.

              I'll give you some points thou, true the 155 ****** catchweights have not helped his reputation but I will say this, the last time he fought at a catchweight was 4 years ago, and his last run of opposition has been the best, bar none, no one is fighting top competition like him, whether you like it or not.

              True he did not fight Andrade when he was the champ, but when Smith was the champ he jumped ASAP for that tile, True he dragged up Khan in one of the worst mismatches I've seen, True he got his first belt fighting a Mathew Hatton which was disgraceful.

              True, he vacated that MW twice, one for not fighitng GGG and the other for not fighting Charlo, but he's fought GGG two times already and I'm very positive that he will fight Charlo on 2022.

              Now I can see by all the negativity on your post that you look for every minimal thing to criticize Alvarez, it's fine if you don't like it, but stating that dude is only looking to unify when the division is weak is a very subjective statement, don't blame Alvarez for trying to be undisputed right now, blame Benavidez for eating burritos and losing that belt twice.

              I agree with a lot of your points but I've seen a lot of posts where the only thing that matters to you is to critic every movement he does, I give him heat where it's due but I give him credit also when it's due.

              Majority consensus, Alvarez is fighting top opposition, and no one else is doing like him. Last 7 fights will be against 6 champions and one mandatory, no one is facing competition like that.

              I can agree with you on some points but I will never agree with your posture of finding every possible thing to discredit a great fighter's career.

              However I'm a very reasonable guy and I do respect anyone's opinion, I do not share your posture but I can see a lot of things that I agree wiith you.

              Let's just agree to disagree, fair play.

                That is enough time. Lets wait and see if any weight restrictions and the smallest ring to be used are brought in like he does though. Then we'll know if it's a level playing field. But then we've got his crooked judges if he loses. The way he's had for most his career. But as i said, we'll have to wait and see.
