Comments Thread For: Canelo: Undisputed is Short-Term Goal - No Mexican Has Ever Done It

It's a lot more complicated than "slickness", Andrade doesn't move around nearly as much as Lara, but the bottom line is he's faster and has better reflexes than any recent Canelo opponent, massive reach and is very good with it, great jab, great footwork, very difficult to hit, and has some good pop too.Call it whatever you want, it's a tough fight, CAnelo knows this, that's why he's never wanted to fight him.

Eddie Reynoso also knows it and they will do everything they can to stay away from Andrade.

About the same, yet they are champs in a division where Canelo's plans are clearly unifying and where he is currently competing at. I never once heard him say he intended unifying any other division. Not to mention he is a much bigger star these days. Remind me are Charlo and Andrade competing with champs or bigger fighters? One is fighting nobodies and crying while the other is crying and not even fighting. Keep the hate going my children, I will keep pointing out what you choose to ignore.

Where the hell have you been? Canelo publicly announced to the entire world that his number one priority was to be the undisputed Middleweight Champion a couple years ago and then refused to fight Andrade to get it. Then claimed afterwards that he would have fought Andrade if only the IBF didn’t take his belt away while he was trying to play money games with Kovalev. Finally the IBF pulled the belt and then suddenly Canelo said I’ll go up to light Heavy instead after Andrade had already agreed to fight him weeks before for much less money than Jacob’s or Kovalev got to fight him.

Are they excuses or facts? Is 168 one of the best divisions? Did smith not deserve to lose against ryder? Try to look at it from a nonbiased perspective instead of the fangirl perspective your used to

That's the fcuken division he's in, you want him to go to 135lbs?

Your contention was not that 168 was one of the best divisions.

You argued it was one of the "most weakest" divisions (please see the Grammar ****s after class).

Your view about Smith against Ryder is subjective opinion.

Objective fact: Smith was the winner of the WBSS at SMW.

Objective fact: Smith is 6'3" and Alvarez is 5'9".

Objective fact: Canelo holds more belts at 168 than anyone, including the Ring belt.

Canelo says no Mexican has ever done it and that is their aim.

I say good on him. Dare to be great. You say, "It's not that big a feat." Bah humbug.

yeap haters will hate,they dont said how andrade ducked charlo for over 3 years or plant ducking benavides for over 2 years..only canelo this canelo that, but at the end of the day everybody watching his fights no matter what,

You obviously have no clue. In December of 2018 Andrade was asked to fight Jermell Charlo for $300k then it was increased to $500k Then Jay Z promised to do a deal with Andrade but Jay Z wanted him to pull out of the Charlo fight in order to do the deal with Andrade. ;probably to get even with Haymon for their previous lawsuit) The Andrade lawsuit is STILL ongoing with Jay Z and Andrade’s promoters who are suing Jay Z for $20 million. Within 3 weeks after the original Charlo fight was offered the Jay Z deal fell thru and Andrade signed to fight Charlo for only $300k. That happened 3 weeks after the original fight offer!!!

So you must have meant Andrade avoided Charlo for 3 weeks NOT 3 years right ?? And it was Charlo that refused to sign it AFTER Andrade did sign it 3 weeks later. Also you forgot to mention the fact that Jermall Charlo turned down 7 MILLION DOLLARS to fight Andrade just last year. So JUST WHOS RUNNING FROM WHO !!

Rocky Fielding, Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant. Not exactly Murderer's Row. Why didn't he try to become undisputed at 160 before leaving? Or why didn't he try 175 after cherry picking Kovalev?? Or, why not fight Benavidez at 168, who is, by far, the best of the bunch there???

[El_Mero]

Still not sure why he didnt attempt to become undisputed at 160, the weight he said wasnt his true weight just a few years ago, but now 168 is.....smfh

[BigDramaShow!]

Unifying in one of the most weakest divisions isn't that big a feat. Especially since the last guy had a short camp and even with a proper camp he still would of lost as he should of his last fight.

If it wasnt a big of a feat then why do the other 168lbs greats like Andre Ward haven’t done it?

[BigDramaShow!]

Canelo was offered over $30m for Andrade. He chose to fight Kovalev instead. In fact Andrade offered to take much less money for Canelo so they had even more money for Canelo.

Canelo lost the IBF title because they were too busy jerking Kovalev around trying to get him to take less money. AFTER they found out Andrade had immediately agreed to take their low ball offer.

GGG was way worse he got stripped with the IBF belt for ducking mandatory Derevychencko and fought the great Vanes Martirosyan isntead.

[BigDramaShow!]

This is without a doubt the easiest path to Undisputed Canelo could possibly take,, weak Brits Callum Smith, BJS & unproven Caleb Plant. Alvarez will continue to avoid Top Mexican Fighters & Slick black fighters. WEAK AF

Just like Terrence Crawford dropping the belts at 135 and moved up because he doesn’t want to fight Jorge Linares.
