Comments Thread For: Canelo Wants To Fight Four Times In 2021 After Just One Fight Last Year

[-Kev-]

One real fight would be better than a hundred no hoper waste of time fights.

How many “real” fights will you be in this year?

[tokon]

exactly. “Random” testing 4-6 weeks before a fight means nothing.

Correct sir and that (imo) makes Canelo somewhat suspect as these "late contract" fights have occurred since his clenbuterol test failure.

you sir , know what you’re talking about. Kovalev got short notice, he tried to give both Saunders and plant short notice, he did give smith very short notice and this last fight with Yidilgrim is also short notice.

True throwback fighter.
He fought just a few months after the second GGG fight and even moved up in eight so I could see this.
4 fights in 2021 would be 5 fights overall in a calendar year. Legend ****.

You sir DKSAB. Kovalev got short notice because Canelo and DAZN were in a dispute all summer with them trying to force a third GGG fight and DAZN only approving a few opponents. Kov couldn’t pay a step aside fee for his September opponent so he did what he had to do to get the big money fight in November.
Canelo was suing GBP and DAZN and that didn’t get resolved until late last year so the Smith fight happened quickly. Canelo wanted to make up for that last fight and has plans to unify and fight 4 times in 2021 so Idirim was offer the fight in early January. Plenty of time for a 6-7 camp.
If your a world class fighter and don’t stay fit until a camp that’s on you. When opportunity knocks you have to be ready beforehand to strike.

He got tested immediately after the Smith fight hence why he was late to the post fight press conference.

Good news for fans

Canelo may realize with his style he will likely not age well. He has 2 great years left

Well he has been fighting since he was 15 and has repeatedly said he wants to be done at 35 and move into golfing.

you’re losing context of the Convo and clearly letting your emotions take over. Canelo consistently makes offers for fights on short notice and for someone who got popped and no longer does vada 24/7 , it looks shady. Make all the excuses you want but he’s known for doing this consistently.

I just gave you the facts on those scenarios but hey don’t let that get in the way of sipping that hatoraid.
