Michael Fielding vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Tevin Farmer vs. Francisco Hernán Fonseca RBR

I KNOW! That’s why Canelo was automatically one of the best in the division. Anyone saying otherwise is being ridiculous.

 

And yet he still fought for a second tier belt with a rehydration clause........go figure.
Couldn’t give a **** how many PPVs he sells or however much he gets paid,this guy is everything that is wrong in boxing,take your pick from Tainted steaks,bought Judges,home advantage,rehydration clauses and just general A side BS and baffoonery.

 

Again, the division is dog****. So a pound for pound fighter moving up from the weight division below is obviously one of the best in the division right? Don’t be so stubborn, you must be an AJ hater to have a problem with what was clearly a logical and appropriate statement.

 

In Las Vegas on Cinco de Mayo weekend, just to make sure Danny Jake doesn't sneak a win!

 

Tough means something different to you than me on this one. I mostly agree with you, Rocky went down I think on the very first strong body shot Canelo landed. But he didnt stay down.

Even Rocky getting knocked down on the first hard punch, but getting up he's still tough, as in tougher than nominally 85-90% of the people that post here.

If were talking world class boxing tough (think Hagler, Gatti, Holyfield, R.Lopez), then no, Rocky is not tough.

 

The sport is dominated by Euros at this point, so the sense that IB used the term is passé.

 

he has to beat someone other than Fielding to say this. One fight? This reminds me a little of Ray Leonard vs. Lalonde.. Donny gave Ray a fight and knocked him down, but the lack of respect for the title and boxing.

 

im confused by the reactions. isnt this what everyone expected? didnt this rocky guy, who i didnt even bother to scout, suppose to give up his belt if canelo was for real? well, hes for real.

 

Who else is there at super middle? Is everyone comfortable that Callum Smith would easily beat Canelo? Then it’s illogical to say that Canelo isn’t one of the best in the 168 division. If Ward or Calzaghe were fighting at 168 then we couldn’t, but that’s the hypothetical situation. Fact is that Canelo is one of the best at 168 right now, and so is GGG or Jacobs if they moved up.

 

Yes but let’s have it right we all expected this didn’t we?
Keep telling everyone that Oscar knows his ****,when Oscar hand picks Canelos opposition it ain’t because they have a chance of winning,trust me on that lol.

 

You've got your panties in quite a bunch over having it pointed out that the times they are a changing' in the boxing world.

You can continue to use the term as if we were in the eighties or nineties... it's just no longer accurately descriptive in the current era, that's all.

 

If anyone is suprised by this blowout, that someone doesn't pay attention to boxing much. Aka Ydksab.
