    I think he can get a belt at 168 but he is too small! I dont think he will rule at middleweight that much

    lets entertain your angle for a moment. soccer was invented in england, so what sports were invented in india?

    fun loser fact, england dont even have a ranking in 3 of the most major sports that were invented in india. Thats 3 times as worse as what you just pointed out, at least.

    it must now be very blatantly clear even to you, that you really didnt think your post through very well. good luck with your next one. stay on tpoic next time, might help u avoid such a goddamn catastrophe of a post there.

    In other news.... boxing...

    Agreed, also as you rightly point out, SMW is weak. Groves is past prime, Uzcategui is good but not that good (remember Korobov smashed him …). I happen to rate both Benavidez and Ramirez but both have problems enough of their own for now. So both Canelo & GGG are favourites against pretty much any SMW fight now. If there was a true elite SMW like a prime Ward, or even prime Froch or Kessler it would be different, but

    LHW is where things get tough, the top LHWs have real power and the size difference also becomes significant. I don't see how Canelo or GGG could compete against the reach of someone like a 6'3 Gvozdyk or 6'1 long-armed Stevenson.

    I did and you didnt reply to it.

    Theres a pattern developing in your posts here, claim something and then run away from the claim.

    Or just stick to the boxing, this is a boxing forum.

    He was already the man at 154
    He's now the man at 160

    I doubt he'll be able to overcome the size and height disparity at SMW.

    We said the same thing about Pacquiao moving to 140 and 147.

    I don't see it. I think Canelo has a rather easy time with Andrade.

    I give BJS a better shot at Canelo than Andrade.

    Pac and Mayweather seem to be the standard that everyone uses to try and make the case for every other fight to go up multiple divisions. People need to understand that Pac and Mayweather are ATG level fighters, and to use their accomplishments as an example that other fighters without their talent should try to replicate, is just bad judgement, but thats just my opinion.

    Canelo is nothing like Pac, or Mayweather. He is p4p not even close to their level.


    I have never and will never be a fan of seeing fighters feel the need to be put in division they dont belong in, against men who clearly are not their size, to try and make a point to boxing fans who want to see every fighter pushed beyond their limits just to 'gauge' them in an all time sense.

    I want to see Canelo compete and build his legacy in the division hes meant to fight in, and one in which he will already be at a dimensional disadvantage in almost every fight he has there against the top guys. I think its ill advised, foolish, and unnecessary to go up even further.

    If canelo could actually beat a slowed down ggg but he did not .
    Don't be fooled by him being competitive with a washed up ggg. He ain't ruling anything.
