Comments Thread For: Talks restart about Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez-Chris Eubank Jnr

[El_Mero]

Lol what a joke...I'd rather see Canelo face a WOMAN because Eubank Jr has just as much chance of winning!

Ginger vs Shields!!! lololololol

[SUBZER0ED]

.“He doesn't have the pool of fighters available – there aren't names left that fight fans want to see."

There are plenty of names that fans want to see Alvarez fight, he's just too chicken to fight them. But I'm pretty sure that one name which is missing from that list is Chris fooking Eubank, Jr!

[The D3vil]

Is it even really boxing news if Ginger is going to continue doing these joke fights?

You didn't see Pac or DLH winding their careers down with this type of bs as the "Face of Boxing"

Ginger is really taking the FMJ approach to ending his career. Weak sh.it

I've been telling folks that Canelo wanted to be Floyd for years.

And that's not a good thing.

Who do these fights appeal to? People who just want to see Canelo get an easy victory? The last time he fought somebody that might beat him, he lost.

Unfortunately, that's a large part of Cinnamon's fan base.

People who just don't want to see him lose, so they can avoid shame on the internet.

Only things you earn in boxing are championships and respect. That whole bs line of "hes earned the right to pick and choose" is bull****. Vacate or fight the next top in contender in your division, period

BOOM.

There it is.

So according to the bunch of whiners here, Who should canelo fight next then? Benavidez fighting Morrell, Beterviev needs to fight an unknown dude next to avoid getting stripped, Bivol coming from a L and the Beterviev rematch still in the air, TC comes from struggling against a 54 pounder, so again, WHO?

Mbilli?
The always dangerous Scull?

There is this narrative that Canelo is imitating Mayweather.
Well, he himself probably thinks he his but they are nothing alike.
First of all Mayweather may not have fought Pacquaio when some people wanted it to happen but he did fight him. I don't think Canelo has any intention of fighting Benavidez. The longer he waits the more the chances favor Benavidez.
Canelo fights nothing like Mayweather, everything is declining visibly, so time is definitely not in his favor.

Secondly, lets compare the fights both had after the age of 32.

Mayweather
Andre Berto
Manny Pacquiao
Marcos Maidana
Marcos Maidana
Saul Alvarez
Robert Guerrero
Miguel Cotto
Victor Ortiz
Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Marquez

Canelo
Edgar Berlanga
Jaime Munguia
Jermell Charlo
John Ryder
(Old) Gennadiy Golovkin

And now maybe lining up Eubank Jr....?

[Groin Grabber]

I don’t fancy the Crawford fight but if he is considering EuBank, then there is absolutely no reason he shouldn’t fight Crawford. I ll much see that over a washed up Eubank

That's the plan. People were shutting on bernalgas but people were like "well at least it wasn't eubank" he literally just did this

Mayweather
Andre Berto. Bum
Manny Pacquiao. Got ktfo 2 fights prior
Marcos Maidana. Bum
Marcos Maidana bum

Robert Guerrero super bum
Miguel Cotto got stopped by Margarito and pac
Victor Ortiz quitter
Shane Mosley old
Juan Manuel Marquez , froid didn't even make weight bringing up a smaller guy

Canelo
Edgar Berlanga
Jaime Munguia
Jermell Charlo
John Ryder
(Old) Gennadiy Golovkin

And now maybe lining up Eubank Jr....?

Don't even like carnela but that's the truth

Mbilli is the de facto "best" mandatory left on 168, so I'd be totally fine with that choice because he'd be doing what the beltholder is asked to do and should do anyway. I mean, he's definitely not going to fight the 175 guys at this point so Beter/Bivol/Bena/Morrell weren't a choice to begin with, so as long as he's staying in 168 he's the top guy left that Canelo hasn't faced yet. Eff no to Crawford, no need for a bloated 154-er redux.

However I wrote on the first page as well but IF the choice was between Eubank Jr and Scull, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat. Not that I'd WANT to see it, but it has more of an understandable reason in that even for the paperwork purposes only it will make him "undisputed" again, which is one thing more than what fighting Eubank Jr will provide. In all honesty, unless Canelo really wants to have those Fish and Chips and Afternoon Tea and doing the fight in UK, wouldn't any Canelo fan in US/Mexico be willing to buy a ticket for Canelo-Eubank Jr be willing to buy a ticket for Canelo-Scull too, anyway?

[STREET CLEANER]

Meaningless trash fight if it happens. Eubank has no momentum and is coming up in weight. This is worse than the Berlanga fight.

[Corelone]

It will sell out a stadium in the UK. Canelo is a legend in the UK for single handedly crumbling Eddys empire. Maybe he got a little help, but he is held in awe.
