A worrying Canelo statistic.

[messi807]

He is following Mayweather`s blueprint: never fight young fighters.

Mosley, Khan, Cotto are "big names", but they were all past their prime and he fought them at heigher weight that their prime was.

Mayweather fought 15 fighters younger than him, Canelo only fought 2 and has 64 fights. Maybe research facts, before announcing nonsense LOL. When has Canelo ever fought a guy 13 years younger than him, better yet 10 or 8 years? even 6? Jesus. Embarrassing.

Another troubling Nelo statistic....

Can't find a present day fighter with a better 10 fight run
Definitely none of these boogeymen that everyone seems to love

People have mentioned Pac and May, though

And that 10 fight run still has him with a lesser legacy in Mexico than guys like Chavez, Sanchez, Morales, Marquez & Barrera LOL. Savage. 10 fight run couldn't mean much.

10 fight run and only one elite fighter.. which was Bivol and he got his ass whooped. 10 fight run and his best win was Plant. *WOW* Historic LOL.

Every ATG has Yildirim level guys on their resume, the ages have no meaning they don't select who they going to fight by age, it just goes along with the rest of the givens, its doesn't mean anything outside of what they are as a fighter at that time, fans are always trying to connect dots that to guys that know boxing means nothing more than coincidence, but to other fans it sounds like an advantage or disadvantage because they don't know any better, if it sounds good to them or fots their agenda they swallow and repeat it, its the way BS travels, everybody is trying to sell a narrative and 99% of it is BS that means nothing in the context of a fighter being good or bad, its just fan BS.

Every ATG doesn't have Yildirim, Rocky Fielding, John Ryder level guys whilst avoiding the biggest threat in the division whilst consistently making excuses and saying they need to 'earn it' - sorry, not falling for it.

Canelo is 33 years old and turned pro as a teenager: he's been one of the youngest guys around for a very long time. It's only recently that he's becoming the "old" guy who's being hunted by the young. The problem is that the young guns aren't fighting each other. I'm sure if you went through the resumes of the SMW contenders, you'd find that they're fighting guys older than them too.

"The problem is that the young guns aren't fighting each other."

Yeah, you're just as bad as canelo. those guy's aren't fighting each other.. but let a guy like Munguia or John Ryder come along that haven't earned a thing and Canelo takes those fights with open arms. It's 2024 now, real fans are not buying that nonsense.

There's no ATG out there with 40 plus fights and only fought 2 fighters younger, the problem is Canelo - nobody else my friend.

[messi807]

It's no secret that his career has been carefully crafted by his team.

most crafted career I've seen in the history of the sport. Good to know fan's are not falling for this ish anymore. he can go ahead and fight the Berlanga's & Munguias, but fans aren't going to respect you.

[messi807]

So much BS, Floyd was the same prime they were from the same era and he came from 130, he beat Canelo at 37 yrs old, he was older than Manny, why do you idiots just go blah blah without even checking what your saying.

Would you like to apply this criteria to a whole bunch of the best guys in history and you will be in for a big shock, but that don't matter its just another hate fart that will be gone tomorrow.

No offence but I don't think that guy checked his information before he started typing. Floyd fought around 15 fighters younger than him, which includes Canelo who he was a whopping 13 years younger.

[Eff Pandas]

Thats a crazy stat for a 33yr old with 60+ fights. 33 ain't young in this sport.

So don't label Canelo an ATG then. If your primary complaint is age, then you shouldn't object to Canelo/Munguia.

Canelo is bigger than sport.

Fans actually made him being like that. Sport needs casuals, casuals need super star boxer. Canelo is top super star boxer.

And now people expect him to behave like some new incomer and take all hard fights.

Again:

Boxers take hard fights only when they have to.

Canelo doesn`t fight benavidez, because he doesn`t have to.

Canelo is not any different than other guys. Fury, joshua...ali prefer taking easier fights for a big money, if they can chose.

Fury is fighting Uysk. Joshua wants to fight everyone, would've fought Wilder if he beat Parker, fight was signed. You're making excuses for Canelo and that's okay. This isn't normalised..
You have an entire country Mexico pleading for the benavidez fight, his own people - but he doesn't have to fight him? zero pride at all. say's he won't fight Mexicans now he's trying to fight Munguia.. COULDN'T MAKE this **** up. EMBARRASSING LOL

Also.. NO ONE is bigger than the sport. Not even Joshua who is bigger than Canelo.
