Canelo vs Charlo: Final Predictions

Yes, along with hand wrapping Inspectors.

 

I could see that argument. Tito was definitely better at 154 and 147 than he was at 160.

He’d still be Canelo’s toughest fight at 160, I think.

 

Panama Lewis would be there to sign off on them.

 

You have quite a sense of humor. But if GGG couldn't back up Canelo, it's unlikely Canelo would be running from Tito. Tito's chin was a bit susceptible... having been dropped by Vargas, who wasn't known for his punching power at 154, more of a volume puncher. Canelo's precise punches would probably find that weak spot and it could be lights out for Tito. Look you don't really have much of an argument for Tito stopping Canelo. The only middleweight Trinidad ever knocked out was Joppy, but there's some compelling evidence suggesting that the fight might have been rigged. It's worth pointing out that Tito had Don King in his corner. A shady and powerful figure who could make unusual changes to the ring setup. Just like his other dirty tactics Tito certainly knew how to use that to his advantage. Joppy lost because of the ring.

 

SPONGY RING

 

Triple G was backing him up, though. Floyd Mayweather too.

Trinidad-Joppy rigged??? Come on, man lmao!!!

 

A Canelo groupie accusing another fighter of questionable wins is the most hilariously ironic thing ever. It's like a Golota groupie calling another fighter dirty.

There's nothing questionable about Trinidad. The extra guaze thing is a faux scandal. There's no teeth to it at all. The ring accusation is even more bonkers.

Canelo, on the other hand, is a PROVEN roid cheat. A blatant weight cheat. And fights with obviously paid off judges.

Most manufactured great the sport has ever seen.

 

You heard of this too? It's all over the internet.

 

Trinidad was loading up against Hopkins because he didn't have his special wraps. And that's why he got exhausted.

 

Trinidad was exhausted??? Trinidad was missing shots, getting countered at every turn.....but he looked far from exhausted. Maybe you are remembering wrong...

 

trinidads peak was 154. at 154 Id pick him over Alvarez at 154. the prime of these two did not coincide at the same weights. at 160 you'd have to favor alvarez at this point

 

Canelo would have just been a notch on the belt of the likes of Trinidad, De La Hoya, and Vargas at 154. The notion that Canelo was green or pre prime at that weight is silly, if you think about it. The only thing that changed post Floyd was more PEDs and more selective match making. He’s the same guy. Good fighter, but protected. Protected by his management, the WBC, the judges, good match making.

 

Alvarez skill set improved since the Mayweather Jr fight.

Particularly his defense in the pocket

 

In what world is canelo a proven roid cheat?

 

Alvarez pissed dirty

 

He pissed for trace amount of clen (like tons of soccer player during the junior wprld cup in mexico, cause they ate tainted meat), and even then, clen is not a Roids.

For as much as this bf fellow overhype canelo, some of you are going as far as him on the other side

 

Due to Clenbuterol which in used in Mexico and several Asian countries in their livestock. B- sample was provided by hair follicle test in which he was cleared.

In the U.S. Trenbolone is used in our livestock and has caused several Olympians to be "popped." Same thing, just different chemicals.

The haters will still say Canelo is a cheat even after he was cleared, but will ignore Floyd, Roid Jones, and Sugar Shane's cheating ways. Wonder why?

 

You sound like a flat Earther.

 

Mayweather Jr, Jones jr and mosley also pissed dirty. They're all clearly cheats

 

I'll have to double check what the story was, but off memory, it'd take like 15lbs worth of steak in-between drug tests to set off the second one.

 

Do you not know how hair follicle tests work?

 

And even if took clen, it's more of a hindrance than an advantage. The only advantage of clen is to lose weight, and it was so far from the weight in that it would be nonsensical to take it. And it comes with numerous side effects that are detrimental for a boxer.

But as you said, it's always the same suspects that mention this clen thing (though I must admit that the clenelo nickname is pure genius), and they dont apply the same scrutiny to their favorite boxers, surprisingly enough

 

I will always appreciate a voice of reason.

Canelo isn't even my favorite fighter, but fair is fair. Clenelo and Roid Jones were the best nicknames.

 

Hell, I dont really like canelo, and I'm almost always rooting against him. Still, a lot of these so called ''objective observers'' are nothing if not biaised

 

Canelo vs Trinidad would have been an helluva fight. The 2 are on the same ''greatness'' level imo (both ATG but not amongst the true legends either). Really don't know who would win this one

 

Would have been a treat for sure. Id pick tito, but not with a lot of confidence

 

I pick Tito with very high confidence at 154.

Canelo didn't even have an easy time with an old Cotto at 154. He was having a rough fight with Liam Smith at 154 until his power finally caught Smith. I ain't picking him over Trinidad at junior middleweight.

160 is where it would be interesting. Do I favor Canelo at 160? Probably. Do I think it's a foregone conclusion? No. Canelo is not Hopkins.

 

I thought Canelo was gonna stop Cotto. I was very surprised that Cotto not only was as competitive as he was with Canelo at that point in his career, but that he went the distance with the INDESTRUCTIBLE Canelo who would like have beaten Trinidad like a drum according to a few.

I could understand favoring Canelo at 160 because he was more proven than Trinidad there, though I’m not convinced it’s a forgone conclusion. Canelo would have done no better against that version of Hopkins.

No way Canelo beats Trinidad at 154.

 

Agreed, at 154, Canelo was quite green and I think Tito butchers him. At 160 though, I probably slightly favor Canelo but with very little confidence...

 

I don’t even think Canelo was that green at 154. Certainly wasn’t green the night Mayweather schooled him. He just never fought anyone elite prior to then.

Then after the scare with Lara his match making became more strategic. The Golovkin he faced was not a prime version to my eyes.
