Canelo beats Benevidez.

[Master]

So David should have tried harder to win a title before Canelo.conquered the division to have secured a fight with Alvarez? I am sure Saul was saying at the time he would not face a Mexican fighter. I am sure it would not have happened regardless of what David Benevidez did.

no david b should have been a disciplined professional & not lost his belt twice & he might have been in the mix when canelo moved back to super middle to go on his undisputed run. instead of blowing weight & using coke he could have been trying to unify. none of those champions were fighting each other

Canelo came up with that bullshit excuse to avoid fighting guys like Benavidez. (Then again... he fought JCC Jr. and Munguia). Fanboys won't see that... because again, they excuse everything Ginger says and does.

can you show a source or canelo himself saying that before he conquered the division? i'll wait

[TitoFan]

He said it.
End of story.

At least I don't struggle with fanboyism.
I'm not playing your "splitting hairs" game with you.
Point being made here is that Canelo is a chickenshit coward who makes up excuses to not fight the people in front of him that could pose a danger to his manufactured legacy. He very much did say he didn't fight fellow Mexicans as an excuse to duck the likes of Benavidez. But he had no such convictions when facing the mummy JCC Jr, and the limited Munguia.

Keep asking your dumbass questions.
Doesn't change a damn thing.

there's no splitting hairs. master clearly said "before Canelo.conquered the division? I am sure Saul was saying at the time he would not face a Mexican fighter". you can't bring yourself to admit that canelo didn't say that before he conquered the division. you & i both know canelo cemented his legacy by unifying the division five weight classes above where he began

Let me be brutally frank here. Not once have I ever claimed Canelo won't go down as a boxing great. He's put in his time... he's won his big fights.

My contention with him has always been the way he carefully constructed his career. No need to go into specifics here. I've said all this a thousand times.

His hype has always exceeded his substance. He has ducked... he has marinated... he has stacked the deck... he has done everything except put himself out there fearlessly and let the chips fall where they may.

Even fellow Mexicans can't stand the dude.

He's everything that is wrong with boxing.

That he unified at 168... sure. He'll always be remembered as a great 168.

Of course, he benefitted from a group of British boxers to whom he will always be indebted.

TO YOU... he has a great legacy. To me he's just an overly hyped manufactured diva, who carefully picked and chose his opponents at HIS timing. He had the WBC and many judges in his pocket.

When he's gone... good riddance.

I see you fit the hardcore Canelo fan?

I’m not hating on Canelo, I just want to see the best fights.

Canelo should have fought DB and it’s definitely the biggest duck of his career.

Canelo knows he can’t go to 175 as he gets destroyed by Bivol again.

Expect Canelo to wait until the Bivol vs Beterbiev winner moves up or Beterbiev retires..then Canelo moves to 175 around 35 in a weaker division and probably fights Yarde!
