Comments Thread For: Canelo Sees Another 6-7 Years Left in Career, Rules Out Foes at 175

and if he fights the Yildirims of this world he can even fight 4 times a week. POS cherrypicker!

If you're GGG or Crawford you get praised for that...

There is also Edgar Berlanga. He’s not ready yet but I could see him becoming a viable opponent in the next two years.

Why isn't he Ready? Remember, Canelo fought Mayweather when he was Berlanga's age. But y'all dismissed he was only 23 and throw shade at him

He dared to be great at 23, Berlanga won't

The only 23yr old that would dare is a much larger Benavidez yet he lost his chance RIGHT NOW since he is not a belt holder. Maybe after unifying 168 he will fight Benavidez. That's the fight I want to see

I’ve been liking your posts as of late.

That's a damn shame.

Canelo is already arguably the most accomplished fighter under the age of 40 active or retired, his resume will be crazy stacked in a few years. Although I wonder if wear and tear won't eventually start to catch up with him.

The big * against Canelo is PEDs.

Apparently he still doesn't do vada 24/7/365?

This, in conjunction with the previous test fails and short contract period for fights, makes him extremely suspect.

Are you saying Floyd never gave away advantages?

Few and far between and calculated. Not spontaneous and without abandonment. RJJ woke up one day and thought to himself he's like to be heavyweight champ. Pac woke up and thought he'd like to be 8 division champ and be oldest ever WW.
Floyd never fought outside backyard. He argued gloves, cw. Open your eyes, take rose tinted glasses off.

. If Floyd only wanted to be unbeaten please tell me who he should have fought in order to be great in you eyes? You'll probably say something crazy like a rematch with Canelo @ 160lbs.

As above there's many things Floyd could have done or shouldn't have done to sabotage greatness.
Rematches, whether with better version of nelo, rather than kickboxers.
Give advantages away be it home advantage. Fight gg g or nel o at 160. And if Floyd did, it wouldn't be anything greats hadn't already done in the past

Roy Jones literally picked one of the worst heavyweight champions.

Floyd had big home advantage most of the time but I don’t recall many occasions that he looked like he needed it.

Clenbuterol is waived by WADA. no asterisks at all. WADA said as long as you are under 2NG in any sport you all good like James Brown dancing in his songs!

Canelo Haters must hate WADA. lol. They cover Olympic sport!

Miguel Rivera is always an anti Canelo tabloid for boxingscene giggles. That name is usually always reserved for Canelo news. Lol

Canelo said “at the moment” he doesn’t plan to fight at 175. He has 3 fights scheduled for 2021. The article says 6-7 years. The article didn’t cite Canelo saying, “in the next 7 years I don’t ever plan to fight at 175.” Lol. Nice headline doe

Spence has not fought - much less beat - a lineal champion. Canelo has.

Spence has fought at a higher weight class, but has only held titles in one. Canelo has held them in FOUR - two at the same time.

It's fine to say that you don't watch for belts, but the fact is, accomplishments matter. The only REAL way to judge a fighter is by what they've done.

Right now, if we look at career accomplishments, nobody touches Canelo Alvarez. Period.

Spence is untouchable - at 147. But that's only at 147. That's fine. But how can a guy who is only untouchable in one weight class be better than a guy who's already accomplished the peak in four of them?

The other important thing I would point out is age.

Spence has accomplished the things he has mostly in his early 30's.

Canelo at 20 sparked out Baldomir (which Floyd and Zab both failed to do); 22, he dominated 'Sugar' Shane Mosley; same year took 5 rounds to stop the guy that recently damn near stopped Keef Thurman. He JUST turned 30 even a full year ago and the man's resume in just the past 12 years is a who's who of the era.

Nobody in the business today has fought as many NAMED fighters as Canelo Alvarez, and despite losing to Floyd he's drawn more money than Pacquiao.

At some point people need to start giving this guy credit - because unlike what Crawford claims, Canelo IS a first ballot HOF'er.





Like I said before.

If we're going to say that Crawford is #1 P4P because of his wins before 147...we need to give Danny Swift credit for a far superior 140 than Crawford.

OR

If we're going to ignore Danny Swift's 140, then we need to ignore Crawford's past - and only look at 147. In which case, neither guy has excelled, neither guy is P4P and ultimately, they're both B-Sides to Errol Spence who beat 4 Top 5 Welterweights so far.

Fair?

Not fair. Danny wasnt undisputed. TC dominates everybody he fights. Danny Garcia should have two more losses on his record.. Crawford's wins vs Horn and Kavaliauskus are better than all of Danny's wins at 147.

Spence beat 2 top 5 guys, and should be considered the top guy in the weight class and the A-side. The problem is his fans keep making excuses for him not to fight TC while commending him for fighting guys that are below TC's level.
