    I think Canelo is an excellent/great fighter. I think the issue myself and others have is that everything is so obviously stacked in his favour from the outset it gets ridiculous. I thought he lost both Golovkin fights, he was somehow ahead or level with Kovalev despite hardly throwing anything for most of the rounds, even the Mayweather fight was a majority decision. I just think he's a great enough fighter to not need that advantage.

    That's the thing that bugs me the most with clenelo. He knows even if he doesn't do much, hell get the round. Thats a tremendous advantage caise it enables him to fight wothout taking much chances.

    But usyk calling out canelo is a bit weird. Reek of tyson fury calling out khan a few years ago

    The sexiest thing Foreman ever said.

    "Look at the size of those shoulders, he punches like a heavyweight"

    Is that really true? With Khans fragile chin Fury would literally kill him.

    And as far as Canelo having "all these advantages and clauses" it does make people question his legacy. But when you consider he has short t-rex arms and is only 5"7 and can compete with natural super middle weights and cruiser weights I think he deserves a little slack.

    Foremanisms were great.

    “It doesn’t matter if you’re 6 foot 12”

    “sometimes more is less, and less is more”

    “tonight the ref is the most important man in the ring other than the fighters”

    “Christy Martin is coming forward.....like a raging cow”

    (Kathy Duva is telling Vargas to take the full 5 minutes after Tito hit him low)

    “Can you imagine a woman giving instructions??”

    My theory was that his overemphasis on body shots was him still trying to justify his game plan in Zaire.

    The raging cow was pure gold. Talk about putting your foot in your mouth. That comment was not done in a mean spirited way. He meant it as a compliment( comparing Martin to the raging bull)

    During the RJ-Reggie Johnson Pre-Fight, Big George Pointed Out How Him and Johnson were from the Same Neck of the Woods, 5th Ward Texas...

    It was Very INNOCENT and CHILDLIKE the Way Big George Said it Too, Not in a Manner to BELITTLE Reggie Johnson's Ol' Man...

    Almost as if George Didn't Think People Would Believe Him...Weird and Random, Vintage Big George...

    Lamps or Someone Responded, "Of Course You Could George", or Words to That Effect...DUH!!! One of the Most FEARED Champions in Heavyweight History Could Actually WHIP a Guy from his Neighborhood???...

    UN-HEARD OF!!!!

    Was Reggie father a badass or something? As you said, weird as hell. In a street fight, George would beat pretty much anyone in his prime

    REED Doesn't Know for Certain, But Doubts It...

    Reggie Johnson was Always a Solid, Grounded Dude Who Just Soooo Happened to Know How to FIGHT, from All REED's Heard...Both Parents in His Life, Not Some Trouble Making Street Kid...Sure, Johnson Grew Up POOR, But 80%-85% of People in the "Hood" AREN'T Criminals...

    Conversely, Foreman Hung Out w/a Crew That Did Petty Robberies...They'd Approach People, Demand Money and if There was Any RESISTANCE, That's When Big George Stepped In...The Mere Fact Foreman was Recruited by Petty Criminals Tells REED He Had NO Problems On the Street in Hand to Hand Situations...

    Which Makes it That Much WEIRDER Foreman was Compelled to Tell an HBO Audience He Could "Whip" Reggie Johnson's Daddy....

    It's weird George did strong arm robberies and Tyson was a notorious purse snatcher. Even openly talked about knocking out grandma's if they refuse to give up their purse. Now George and Tyson have grown into great human beings. Gentle giants.

    This cracks me up. Canelo is a future HOF, Undisputed @168, #1p4p fighter in the sport but he's running from Benevidez?
    I don't get why David benavidez is so much better than the three undefeated champions he just beat at 168. Benevidez has a similar record to those guys. But suddenly (PLANT, Smith and Saunders)they are garbage? Lol Mark my words the same people who said he was ducking Benevidez as soon as Canelo beats him, the new narrative will be "he wasn't much good in the first place. Then the real threat will be some other idiot floating around doing nothing with their career." Like Charlo or Andrade.

    You're a Canelo FAN GIRL Though:Dont:...

    REED's Already DETAILED Specific Moves to AVOID Benavidez, Made By Canelo...The Biggest Threat @ '68 Always Was Benavidez and Canelo Showed ZERO Interest in the WBC Supermiddle Title UNTIL Benavidez was Stripped of It...

    Now All of a Sudden, Canelo DOESN'T Want to Fight Mexican Fighters Either???:duck:...That's Because the BIGGEST Threat to Him Currently is Mexican; David Benavidez...

    Rest Assured, Larry Merchant Would Have a FIELD DAY of Criticism for Your Boy; the Catchweights, Rehydration Clauses, Day of the Fight Weigh Ins for Bigger Men and the FACT He's Even Willing to Use Nationality as a Reason NOT to Face His Biggest Challenge @ '68...

    It's Clear You're CONCERNED About Benavidez, Because You Justify EVERY Reason Canelo Presents for NOT Facing Him...

    Is canelo really using the "i dont want to fight mexican" excuse when it comes to benavidez???

    If so, it is lame as fuck.

    But i must say that it's true that most of these guys are not doing anything to make themselves attractive as opponent for canelo. They pretty much only fights no hoppers and pray that theyll win the canelo lottery. Hell benavidez is supposedly fighting Lemieux next......

    He's "the best at 168" how so? Based on what? he has no titles, hasn't beaten any world champions at 168. But keep posting about it maybe Canelo and his promoters will see this thread, and feel obligated to make the fight, because a dedicated fan such as yourself is so emotionally invested.

    I don't think so. For one Benevidez is not from Mexico he's half Mexican American and Half Honduran. Canelo’s stance on fighting Benevides is basically what you and I have been saying. Benevidez hasn't done anything to separate himself from the pack and beating him a guy who's beaten nobody(greats or Champs @168) does nothing for his legacy. If he beats Benevidez people will just say he was overrated in the first place. I like Benevidez and its a fight I want to see but I see Canelo's point.
