    if the WBC could really throw down the hammer and make Canelo fight an actual legit 154lber good for them. (no sarcasm)

    And Trout might not be the biggest name out their but he's certainly a better opponent right now compared to Angulo or Maidana

    didn't know the blue ink upset you so much, why do you care? BTW since we're pointing out stuff: You don't capitalize fighters last names or punctuate correctly, which makes you look like an idiot

    don't you know the first letter of someone's last name is capitalized?

    so um....why hasnt he headlined his first ppv?

    Was canelo on the Mayweather-Marquez Undercard? what about Mayweather-Mosley? If i recall correctly, he fought Miguel Cottos brother on that undercard, oh yeahhhhhhhh Canelo that nobody knew about was put on Mayweathers undercard ve Miguel Cottos brother to help Floyds PPVs out. :patsch

    oh was Canelo on the Mayweather-Hatton card?

    Cotto is the #3 PPV star in the sport and you are telling me Golden Boy needed to put Canelo on the card vs Mosley to draw in viewers on a PPV date that ALL BOXING fans order the PPV regardless?:lol:

    not apples to oranges.

    after jr's legitimate win over then unbeaten zbik for the wbc belt, chavez then went on to defend against legit mws rubio(ranked and on a 10-fight win streak and ko over leimeux) and lee(ranked and on a 13-fight win streak) thereafter. please, do not even mention chavez jr in the same sentence with canelo. its a disservice to chavez and boxing in general.

    and my argument is not that canelo has to fight vanes or lara specifically or a madndatory, he just needs to fight a legit, top ten ranked 154 not coming off a loss, ko or muliple losses. the wbc sanctions title defenses and also has the authority to strip their champions

    If Canelo was such a ppv attraction he wouldn't be fighting on an undercard. GBP knows that he ain't as big as they are hyping him up to be, but the more people buy into it eventually he will become the star they created. Similar to what they doing with adrian broner.

    The truth is if these guys could sell **** loads of ppv's they would be doing it on their own card.

    Showtimes a premium channel, but no one pays 70 bucks a month to view it, so you're splitting hairs.

    The fact is, Canelo hasn't headlined his own PPV card, and if he's so popular and has such a following, then he should be able to sell **** to flies. The problem is, he needs to fight a live opponent campaigning in his weight class to make money (Cause Mexicans don't regularly support sham fights), and he/his handlers seem reluctant to do so.

    Chavez was facing those top fighters though whilst having an actual mandatory he was avoiding. Alvarez by contrast took on his mandatory in Rhodes immediately after getting the belt and hasn't had one since that time. The public pressure and backlash on Chavez was boiling over far more than it is about Alvarez right now as well.

    not even close. both lee and rubio were legit as they were on their aforementioned win straks and were legit, 160's.

    mosely(coming off two wide UD losses at 147), cintron(coming off a fight were he literally jumped out of a ring and a wide UD loss to molina) and lopez(a fighter who had never fought befoer at 154 and had less than three months to recover from his war at 147, which wasalso his first fight at ww, who also had a less than 50 percent ko ration at jww) are nowhere near as comparable to jrs wins.

    the only people that would think otherwise are the biggest and most delusional canelo nuthuggers.

    comparing jr's title defenses to that of canelos is purely ignorant.

    canelos been "sparring" in his last four fights of which cintron was his least favored fight...where kermit was a whopping +800.

    rubio went off at +180(after chavez' recent dui was made public) and lee went off at +250.

    Mayweather was getting paid without Canelo for years. He don't need Canelo to make money. Broner or Rios could fill that card out right nice and everybody can still get paid. Leo Santacruz would also add fire to the mix. **** Canelo. Mayweather has been called a lot of things but he has never been called a fool because that **** don't fit. He is not gonna stack the deck against himself.That's a fools move. If Canelo got faith in his skills, then all he have to do is drop down to 147 and issue the challenge. That's an offer that Mayweather can't refuse. I don't think he would refuse. All this bull**** about Mayweather being scared is hogwash. Canelo don't call no shots on Mayweather. He never did and he never will. What he need to do is man up and fight Trout cause Trout is howling for his ass and he is at the proper weight.Don't talk that **** about the money cause from what I hear, Canelo generates monster bucks and everbody in Mexico would like to see him avenge his brother's ass whoopin.:bbb
