Re: Who is next for Canelo?

. Canelo can't even announce an opponent 3 months out these days. The whole thing is a giant circle-jerk. Canelo v Munguia is a runner up and not the one we wanted-needed.
canelo is going to do what canelo wants to do. no one is forcing david b to move up. i said previously that it's a built in excuse for david b if he loses, if the fight eventually happens & david b's already talking about going to cruiser if zurdo wins

Maybe Canelo meant "I won't fight fellow Mexicans that could beat the shit out of me", and the quote was inadvertently shortened. I mean, it could happen, right? Didn't he fight that human mummy (JCC Jr) some years ago? I mean... that's as Mexican as you can get, right? Oh yeah, that's right. He's a BEATABLE Mexican. That's the difference. Damn. I keep forgetting that Canelo's opponents are always picked at HIS convenience, and only when all the chips are stacked in his favor. Silly me. It's just that I've always been used to fighters throwing caution to the wind in that regard. So today's Monday, and Canelo's ok with fighting Mexicans again. (Gotta try and keep up with this shit).
when did you start taking what a fighters says as being written in stone & fact? if that were the case tyson, teo & shakur would be retired & you would have to take all the excuses for fighters failing drug tests as facts as well. you can pick through every top fighters record & find instances where they didn't throw caution to the wind & took easier fights

For most of his career he's been sh*t scared to fight black fighters, and even when he did fight a blk fighter (Charlo) he was a blown up light middle. Benavidez ? Erm...no...he's not white enough. Nelo would have had heart attack if he was around 30 years ago and had to get through RJJ, Toney, Benn, Eubank, Nunn, Watson, McCallum, McClellan

Another thing I have noticed why are most boxing movies about white or non blk fighters ?
Vinny Pazienza ended up getting the shyt beat out of him by Roy Jones Jr but even he got a film about his life. I was not even ten minutes in the Roberto Duran film and they got him as a kid knocking out black kids and they segue to his early boxing career as an adult and they got him ONLY knocking out black dudes. Micky Ward, same thing, 2b fair Micky have an interesting story though...but its always the same hard-luck, inspirational type story. Where is the Tyson movie ? That's been in the works for dam near 10 years !!
I guess having a white or non blk hero, particularly one who beats up Black people during the movie, is an easy way to get greenlit and a $50M+ budget in Hollywood.
Canelo beat Jacob’s didn’t he? He was black last time I looked. And Lara. ??
Is Creed black?
What about the guy who does the voice for Mufasa? He played a black Boxer didn’t he?
Genuine request, stick to analysing Boxing cos those posts you do are brilliant, knowledgeable and insightful.
If you wanna go full on race , put it in other topics.
Sometimes you have a point, I’m never going to say racism doesn’t exist, even in Boxing.
The problem is because you go so overboard, nobody bothers to listen.
