The Boxing Thread

Got to do some catching up and then when I saw what Canelo did I was like “khaaannn!!!”

Oh by the way, Pacquiao is now a senator. I fucking hate the 14 million stupid Filipinos who voted him.

Well the bar is pretty low. Didn’t they just elect a guy who jokes about rape and sanctioned deaths squads?

Let me stop I live in a country where Trump is flourishing politically.

tellem

people sharing a fight date of sept 17…true or not?

Literally none of that made sense.

Which part didn’t make sense? The part about people saying he should move up to fight GGG is true. As did the part about GGG not wanting any part of Ward and Ward moving up to fight Kovalev.

The only debatable thing he said/implied was that it was an issue of race which I would say that it partly is, but it’s mostly an issue of Floyd being (intentionally) unlikable.

Annnnnnd Canelo vacates. Damn. His instagram is gettin slammed LOL! Muh fuckas showing no mercy now.

After reading his position, it actually makes sense. It really does sound like they’re doing what they can to make the fight and the only one opposed is De La Hoya as his cash cow is about to get smashed into oblivion.

Looks like “Zurdo” Ramirez wants GGG.

Now that GGG is the WBC & WBA champ, he should fight billy joe saunders and get the WBO title as well. Hopefully billy doesn’t duck again, lol.

Good short film about Jewish boxer. Roach is his trainer.

IF it truly is De La Hoya behind this, he’s making Canelo look bad. It doesn’t look good when you say you’ll fight anyone and then it doesn’t happen and you’re even willing to vacate titles to avoid the fight.

Why the hate? The belt(s) don’t mean much anyway.

people feel canelo is overrated so theyll use it as a reason to hate them. who really cares what the WBC/WBO/IBO/IBF/IFBB/IDFS/WTF/IDGAF/LMFAO even says anyway

Belts are like pokemon badges, except no Elite Four and no region champion.

I know the Mexican fans on a boxing group in FB are going in on Canelo. They feel he is being a coward.

Because they also know how to box and lead a professional career at the elite world class level, right.

IMO it’s not about the title, it’s the principle of it. That the guy’s willing to just walk away from a title rather than buck up and take a fight he said he would take in the first place. It just looks petty.

GGG challenged him? A pro fighter at that level has to consider which fight he takes and whether it’s worth it.

No, he had to fight GGG in a mandatory title defense. If anything, GGG had more of the power here because Canelo had to fight him, not the other way around. But rather than defend the title and fight, Canelo abdicated it. They say the fight’s going to happen, but who knows when.
