    4/6 of those guys are favorites over Canelo. 1 of them (Calz) Canelo has no chance at all against.

    Froch is a pretty solid favorite over Canelo.

    The only 2 from that list Canelo is a favorite over are Benn and Collins.

    Collins, Canelo maybe not even be a favorite over. I could easily see Collins roughing Canelo up and outfighting him at 168.

    So, really Canelo is only a favorite over Benn.

    Calzaghe is a terrible match up for Canelo.

    If bud wins and then retires his career is still disappointing in my opinion.

    Stop.

    Canelo is a flawed guy. He doesn't have the volume or the feet.....you're just saying things.

    Could he win? Maybe.....but this isn't fucking Kirkland or El Pero .

    Nobody ever came up from 147 and beat any version of Lacy. They were all big athletic men.....Jones, Calzaghe, Taylor.

    Fucking Treacle-Feet Canelo with his one punch at a time needed 6 rounds for Amir khan to screw up before he could land.

    Now he's suddenly getting the better of Lacy with ease....this is the Steve Kim school of horseshit.

    Alvarez would beat the dog shit outta lacy. Much smarter and more skilled/sound super middleweight

    Look, I get it, you think Brian Barbosa beats Alvarez.

    No one can take you seriously in any boxing discussion

    Canelo of course would beat up Lacy.

    But... if you wanna play the game of Calzaghe victims... prime Kessler beats Canelo. Prime Kessler dominates Canelo in fact.

    The Hopkins that Joe beat also beats Canelo.

    Here's a question for you...

    Does Caleb Plant take rounds off of Calzaghe?

    I don't think Lacy would get slaughtered. If that's the point Irish is trying to make, then I agree.

    Lacy was limited, but he had a solid chin, and Canelo isn't some Bob Foster banger.

    But I think Canelo would clearly beat Lacy. His offensive skills are too good for Lacy's crude style.

    It'd be a rather clear UD, but... I don't see Canelo 12-0 blitzing Lacy the way Calz did.

    Unlike that pussy Callum Smith, Lacy would at least come to win, and keep pressing all night.

    Here's a FACT about Canelo: If he had peaked circa 09-13, he would have starved his ass down to 160, cause no way in Hell does that Ginger bitch have the balls to have fought a Ward, Froch, Kessler, or Abraham.

    I dont really understand the anti Alvarez sentiment here, as far as rating his ability

    I hate the mother fucker personally, and have more legit reason than anyone here to despise him

    That said he has improved and beaten some decent opponents at 160-168

    He has achieved enough popularity to leverage deals and get the fights he wants no different than others in his shoes before

    I also don't understand the vitriol over him not facing benavidez. I don't enjoy watching him fight enough to give a fuck who he faces

    Id pick ward over him and maybe Kessler. But it ain't like ward is some fearsome guy. If the money was good Alvarez would have faced him

    Froch and Abraham? Really?

    How can you not be outraged over Canelo's Benavidez duck job? It's been one of the biggest mainstream matchups in the sport for awhile now, and Ginger has blatantly avoided it. That duck job will be part of his legacy.

    And Canelo would not have fought Ward. Maybe unknown Ward. But Ward coming off winning the Super 6? Lol. Fuck no Canelo's bitch ass wouldn't have fought him.

    Canelo ain't stupid. He knows the difference between a Caleb Plant and an Andre Ward.

    I bet you Canelo ain't swinging at Ward at no press conference. The Oakland would have come out and Dre would have fucked his ass up right there on stage.

    Ward didn't bring much to the table financially so maybe he wouldn't have fought him. Certainly not for fear of any bodily harm, tho

    As for outrage, I don't care who the guy fights. I don't enjoy his fights

    Should I be outraged ottke didn't face this or that guy too?

    Agreed. Canelo isn't fucking blitzing anyone of quality. He needed 6 rounds just to catch up to Amir Khan.

    When was Ottke ever so well regarded and so well paid that he was ever obliged to do a damn thing?

    Canelo is pfp this and pfp that and mega millions the other .....he's OBLIGED.

    Ottke was some schmuck trying to survive.

    There you go again with the bodily harm. A fighter doesn't have to be scared of getting killed to duck a guy.

    I don't think Canelo is scared of Benavidez killing him. The fear of losing is enough.

    Ward would have whupped Canelo's ass all over the ring. It might not be a bodily harm thing, but it wouldn't be some pitty pat outboxing either. Ward would have beaten Canelo up and won 12-0.

    Yeah but Ward was boring, so Canelo has a chance. Or something.

    So because Alvarez is well paid and well regarded I should give a fuck who he fights? I don't care who he fights, that's all that matters to me

    Same for haney. I don't enjoy watching him box so I don't care whether he faces anyone

    Yes. If you're getting paid more you should face better fighters.

    Don't worry. It's gonna backfire on Canelo.
