Canelo got my tip of the hat when he faced GGG the first time. Big Red then went on to destroy the Krusher at 175!!!
He will gain a little bit of my respect when he turns himself in for the killing of the innocent sparring partner
I think he should fight vs Khan again. Beautiful ATG legacy worth MW title defense fight vs blown up WW in Khan had exposed professional boxing business till it's true and ONLY REAL core value. I think that celebrities boxing and exib fights are far better than pro boxing after this legacy worth achievement. Canelo does not have intent to be used for title defense by Okolie or Briedis? Nothing wrong, it will be like Khan vs Canelo business fight. I think YT and celebrities boxing is more honest and more open about it's reality now than this pro entertainment.
I think this is pretty unfair, people wouldn't even be mentioning beterbiev if Canelo had not beat Kov at 175... I remember a few years ago people were questioning his move to 160... " He's too small" "natural 154" etc the guy is like 5' 8".... He's fighting the guys who are available. GGG was still THE man at 160, Floyd was Money May. Beterbiev is the top guy at 175.... It's not like he's fighting 36-40 year old bums... Let's be honest here Canelo doesn't really have any business at 175. As for short camps/ weight bullying.. no one is putting a gun to guys like khans head telling him to take that fight. Also he gave BJS his huge ring, I know it's only one EX, but it shows he's not above giving some consesions. On paper that ring size was a huge advantage for the slick mover BJS.
Not surprisingly, most want to see him face off against a genuine LHW who won't back off or fear Canelo's power.
Canelo does cherry pick more carefully after fight vs Floyd Jr and as A side cash hometown cow fighting in certain US areas he will be champ AS businessman.
When he will fight and will be tested outside of US then we might continue to talk if he will do a fight when he will be older than 36 years and 1 month for example. I agree, all these prize fighters are only for $ and gets too much respect because they looks are " suffering " and to risk, their work for society is less valuable than firefighters or cleaners work not alone plumber's work etc. If they sign contract and sell themselves as B side kids to someone, they does not deserve over hyped respect for this at all. If someone did not had learned any thing besides to punch ppl in the face for a living this does not mean that these are any symbol of essential workers for society or even symbol of h2h or masculinity, they are prize fighters. This is only their own problem how to sell their fights to entertain ppl etc while other ppl in the world are risking with their bodies each second in all countries over all world with very hard essential and skilled work.
Name me another fighter with a better resume since the Floyd loss. Lara, GGG x2, Jacobs, BJS, Smith, Kov & even Cotto. I know haters gonna say he lost to Lara and to G twice... I disagree, 1-1-1 imo. Haters gonna call "paper champs" against Kov, Smith, and BJS.. again your looking at a natural 154 fighting 6' plus guys. And Jacobs and Cotto were both highly touted at the time....
Any one who did had title fight on foreign soil. Bunches with boxers. And most funny is that someone is thinking that thing is most needed for average mexican kid is Canelo. They does have more necessity for average casual firefighter and casual 24/7 shift suregon in hospital's em dept not boxing idol Canlo.
I do not care about your and Canelo fans reaction but I value Tabiti and Dorticos higher than Canelo and I do not care about Canelo career, fans and belts. Canelo is not better than Ottke, ATE THIS KID.
He's already HOF worthy. He beats all those on the list, he is the best Mexico ever produced and an ATG of high regard.
Okey, if about other boxers, I value Oscar (DLH ) and Holy higher than Canelo and Ward too, despite it is horrible thing that Ward had fought as semi pro and pro only in US as hometown officiated and judged, this is very suspicious, while Ward had liked me damn a lot when I had saw some 7 his am fights etc like things. From US boxers Cunningham too is remarkable, he had won his first full world title in europe via decision.
