Lmao is this the best you've got to justify Kovalev and Smiths short camps? This sort of ridiculous reach is something I expected of you shadow
Then they're dumbasses who dont mind being taken advantage of lol. Some of Canelo's fights look like glorified sparring matches these days. Smith was only a good opponent on paper due to his size and record. In reality he really didn't have anything to really challenge Canelo. Fielding folded like a tent from 1 body shot and looked like a guy who just bought a fighting game challenging a professional tournament player. Kovalev was downright embarrassing. Out of all the guys at 175, he picks the weakest link, a guy whose clearly past his best and gets badly hurt or dropped in nearly every fight lately. And sure enough during the fight he couldn't pull the trigger and threw pitter patter jabs. I'm sure the folks at home were on the edge of their seat and sweating during these fights.
Ignored his mandatory Charlo? When he was named Franchise Champ at 160, that released him from the Middleweight World Title so he no longer had a mandatory. The Franchise Title isn't a World Title, it's just a designation created by the WBC. The situation with Golovkin was complicated. First he won the Title at 155 lbs due to Cotto defending the Title at catchweights. He was being pressured to not only fight at a weight he had never fought at before, 160 lbs, but he was given a 15-day timetable by the WBC following his voluntary defense with Khan. Had the WBC not pressured him with a timetable he may not have vacated. He knew a match with GGG would happen eventually he just wanted to be able to negotiate freely and not have GGG have the upper hand in negotiations. It all worked out eventually, GGG got his belt but then Canelo won it back in the ring in glorious fashion. So he ended up being a two-time MW Champ without ever being defeated.
How is it a reach? DAZN Would not approve BJS or Smith as an opponent. He wanted to fight them. He couldn't until he was released from the contact. Once he was released, then he made the fight with Smith. And Smith was well aware that the fight would happen before the end of the year. They just couldn't make it official until he was released from the contract. Smith didn't really have a short camp, he had been staying in shape preparing the whole time.
Well that's pretty darn obvious given his effort, or lack thereof. I wish I could get paid millions to fight a low skill guy who has 3x less experience than me and makes zero effort to win.
I agree with you about Hearn and Canelo. However, it’s disingenuous to bring Floyd into the discussion when he was fighting the likes of Berto, Guerrero, and McGregor.
That’s true. I saw his cornerman pull out his phone and login to the Wells Fargo to show him “Funds Deposited.”
nah bro I’ve seen ya thread and laughed can’t lie how Kovalev was a cherry pick even tho ain’t no other fighter at 160/68 about to beat him or Smith even tho you can’t really name anybody with better wins... it’s a handful of fighters who fight championship level opponents on pretty much every fight. here’s a better one for you in 1 fight at 175 Canelo has beaten a top 3 reigning champ, who else in the top 10 has beaten even 1 outside of Berti? In 3 fights at 168 Canelo has beaten the #1 rated champ and a top 10 title holder what other top 10 SMW has more than 1 win over another champ? In 3 fights at full 160 dude fought 3 current champ went 2-0-1 and won pretty much every title at 160 what other MW has more than 1 win over another Championship level fighter? Answer that question and you’ll make my point about you guys being a sack of haters.. here’s a newsflash for you that fact that people think the only guy between 3 divisions with a realistic chance at beating Canelo is the #1 LHW that means he’s just GREAT not that he cherry picking. Cherry picking is what ggg or Saunders, or Charlo, or Andrade do avoid any and all competition yet claim everybody scared but can’t fight no other good fighter in the division unless it’s Canelo. if you can name me ANY fighter whose flight close to the level of comp as Canelo between I’ll go as far as 147-175 that’s 5 divisions name just one and I’ll hear you out if you can’t then you just a sad hater dog.
Here’s another question how is contract issues not valid when it’s been widely known that DAZN would only approve 4 fights vs Conner an mma fighter, vs Masgod or however you spell it another mma fighter, Oscar de la Hoya a 50yr old retiree, and GGG a guy he already beat?
Andrade will be a never been. His best win till today is Jack fu... culcay. Andrade would get slaughtered by ggg, Charlo, jacobs, canelo and sanders. I am not even sure he would get past lemieux and Murata. Andrade is like willy the worm Monroe, just because because he is you know and slick doesn't mean he is amy good. Just fu.. off with Andrade. He could have fought someone who is at least c level. So Andrade doesn't deserve sh...
For all the people defending Yldrim's bogus ranking and claiming Canelo "had" to fight him: This content is protected
The man got paid 2.5 mil. Canelo should have given him some step aside money and fight someone that actually wanted to win or had a chance to.
