    Yea thats not how the world works. You get paid based on how much you earn for whoever is willing to pay you. Regardless of opposition

    I'll partially agree with Neil.

    Personally, I see Morrell-Benavidez as the best matchup at 168, not Canelo- Benavidez.

    I'm not losing sleep over Canelo-Benavidez not happening. It's pretty apparent that Benavidez is too much for Canelo at this stage.

    If you could guarantee me benavidez beats the shit out of Alvarez then I'd like to see it. That could happen but doesn't seem all that likely and I could see that matchup being very disappointing

    Benavidez isn't nearly as sharp or disciplined or as good defensively as bivol

    Canelo's less confident than you are.

    I don't think the current Canelo can keep up with Benavidez's pace, nor do I think he can deal with Benavidez's physical strength and stamina.

    But we'll never find out, so it's just a MM.

    Alvarez vs Crawford is a much bigger payday

    Canelo-Crawford's gonna be a huge fight for sure. Should exceed 1 mill in PPV buys.

    Imagine if Junkie Jermall upsets those plans...

    I'll take Crawford over Canelo. He can't deal with slick mooliyans. It would be Mayweather vs Canelo 2. That's the truth.

    Nice. Using Ital slang. Without you guys picking all those tomatoes, the Itals wouldn't be able to make great pizza. Thank you for your service.

    You'd favour Watson over Canelo?

    If Amir Khan gets 6 rounds in....

    Khan got knocked out cold. I guess he scored some type of moral victory with this dimwit by lasting a few rounds

    Chinless former 135lbr. 6 rounds.

    But Jeff Lacy.

    Is it all about the fucking money, Saul?

    Canelo: yes, so name a price, or get the fuck over it.

    Rolly Romero's mob name would be: Phil Leoretardo.

    Lacys resume makes Alvarezs stretch at 168 look like early 80s leonard

    Lacy does deserve a degree of credit for being the first to stop Robin Reid. Reid was always known for his durability.

    Would you take Smith, BJS, and Plant over Lacy?

    Yes

    I could see Plant beating Lacy.

    Billy Joe was a fucking hack. I see Lacy grinding BJS down.

    Callum Smith is too stiff and robotic. Lacy would have beaten him up.

    LAcy was shit. Needed freindly judges to beat Amoar fucking Sheika. Hed probably lose to all these guys
     
  26. Xplosive

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    I had him beating Sheika. Sheika was more competitive than he should have been though.

    A better version of Lacy was more comprehensively beaten by Eric fucking Lucas. It speaks a lot about Lacy limitations as a fighter

    This is revision....the highlight affair
    of that fight wasn't that Lacy won- he did, and handily- it's that his power was exposed.

    Xplosive X-MOD Bad Motherfucker

    Yeah, there's some revisionism going in here. No one on this forum was saying "Lacy sucks" pre-Calzaghe. I remember. Its convenient to say it now. Lacy wasn't elite by any means, but some guys are going too far to the other extreme.

    Let's be honest, a guy John Ryder is truly a fucking bum. Ryder has Z E R O ability. Yet he beat Callum Smith and was robbed.

    Canelo's 168 scalps have been pedestrian outside of Plant, and Caleb is merely a good fighter, not an elite one.

    Plant would find a way to lose to Lacy......
