Canelo vs Fielding Dec-15

[Alpha]

I'm curious if people would have preferred Lemieux over Fielding?

I agree with @Spicoli

Tip toed into 160 is right. Now that he's there and fought GGG twice, he's jumping up to challenge for a title at 168. Screw the other 160-pounders who would give a kidney for a shot at Canelo. Let me get that other belt while the dangerous guys at 160 knock each other out. Predictable, safe, and calculated.

Sorry... to answer your question. Yes, I would've preferred Lemieux over Fielding.

For me they could be considered similar in opposition level.

Just boycott Canelo. Do not watch his fights. DO NOT WATCH!

Why? The 2nd GGG fight was fantastic.

Not saying otherwise. But stay at 160, which you avoided for so long, and fight all opposition there. Don't pretend you've somehow "cleaned out" 160 and are ready for new challenges. Otherwise, multiple weight titles are a bit meaningless. Remember Canelo initially avoid GGG and trying to goad him to 154..... and now seeing him bolt to grab a belt at 168, is so artificial and meaningless.

I agree about staying at 160, I think I'm the only one who wants Canelo/ GGG III after the December fight. He is back in the ring quick tho, and as I said Fielding and Lemieux are similar in level.

It seems like a buffer for Canelo, so he can sit back and see what happens, before deciding if he returns to 160 or not.

Feels like more of an honest fight for what was building up in front of the fans and every fight his "one punch eraser" is raved on. Then again with Lemieux already being white washed by fellow top 160 BJS and Golovkin it puts Canelo in position to improve on that or live up to in a way. I prefer Lemieux. Fielding is a blank slate State Side and guarantees Canelo all the focused stardom.
