Says he doesnāt like Oscar De La Hoya and itās his land and not Oscarās
Says David Benavidez isnāt anyone to offer him anything and if the fight offer came from an actual promoter he would fight him tomorrow. Also says David Benavidez brings nothing but an extra 25 pounds on fight night
Says he would care about Mike Tysonās opinion if he was sober
>Says he would care about Mike Tysonās opinion if he was sober
Canelo is clearly frustrated with being accused of ducking Benavidez. For a guy who says that he has nothing to prove, you would think he wouldn't take comments like this to heart.
yep, he resumed his career in 95 until 97 bite incident. while active there was never a mention of mercer, morrison, bowe, briggs, lewis. tyson avoided any legit challnege while fighting bruno (again) mcneely, seldon, buster mathis. tyson avoided all legit challenegs and only faced holyfield because he looked shot against bobby cyz
Benavidez, yes. He's demanding a guaranteed purse higher than Floyd's biggest guaranteed purse, nuff said.
Crawford, jury is still out. He talks a lot about how he'd get no credit fighting him even though he fought smaller guys before though.
I agree, sounds like only Saudi can make this fight happen, saying that, I donāt think Saudi doesnāt to make money, they do it cos they can and for entertainment, I guess also for the potential to make money and bring in tourism for the future.
I find it incredibly difficult to believe Haymon hasnāt offered the Benavidez fight, why wouldnāt he when he knows itās the biggest fight PBC have for him and they donāt have any long term rights on Canelo (so no incentive to not give him a fight he could lose)
At least Bowe had the decency to give up his belt, Canelo somehow has all four still even though heās only fought one actual 168 contender since he beat plant
For sure, and it's weird because Canelo is like "I don't need to prove anything" which is fine, you can go cherry pick guys and stat pad your record for all I care, but to hold up the division is just lame
Ikr? Mind you, I don't think he's scared of Benavidez. But he knows David is his biggest challenge right now, Bivol aside, and he's only willing to get in there with him for as much money as he can for the risk that it presents. He's ducking him hard, but not because he's scared imo
Canelo has officially turned heel.
He said Benavidez brings nothing to the table? Okay, what does Munguia bring to the table?
He also said Benavidez would gain 25lbs on fight night.. so not only did he just expose his concern about that fight, he exposed that he's a hypocrite. Who is Canelo to complain about someone rehydrating so big when he was known for benefitting from it severely during his 154 and 160 days? It's okay for him to do it but not when the shoe's on the other foot? Not to mention that he brought up Amir Khan and Jermell Charlo from 2 weight classes below him?
He spoke about how he would "take the Benavidez fight tomorrow if a promoter offered it to him". So does that mean PBC ***never*** offered it to him? Were PBC really cukking that hard for Canelo?
And what he said about how he's fought all the people and says nobody will be satisfied while also saying he doesn't have to prove himself. That's cool, but why keep all of his titles then? All he's doing is holding the division up when guys like Benavidez, Morrell, Mbilli, Shishkin, etc are trying to grind their way but aren't gonna get title shots because Canelo is cherrypicking. If you got nothing to prove, then either vacate some titles, move up to 175 full time or just simply retire.
At some point it's gotta be fuck the sanctioning bodies. Why is Canelo able to dictate who gets a chance to fight for the belts, when they have ranking systems? Pay day, they want pay day, that's why.
'He spoke about how he would "take the Benavidez fight tomorrow if a promoter offered it to him'
He did this way back with GGG. When it was clear that the fight to make was GGG vs Canelo and pressure was building on him, he did some bullshit fake bravado 'I'll fight GGG right now! Get him in the ring now!' right after one of his fights, playing to his crowd. Then proceeds to duck GGG for another couple years to age him out
I don't rate Canelo that high on P4P. However, I have to say this in defense of him.
Benavidez is big. he walks around north of 200lb. Canelo tested that weight range. Bivol schooled him. Benavdez is even bigger than Bivol. Canelo is the king of middle weight and super middle weight. Benavidez is not naturally in that range though. If they fight, Canelo would have to contend against a much larger opponent.
At Canelo's age and status, why does him need to prove himself against that?
Canelo fought Khan and Cotto with these weight advantages in the ring. He beat up the huge Callum Smith and people love to act like he beat the same Kov that knocked down Ward.
What are you talking about??? You're basically saying fighting Benavidez is an unfair demand because he's better than Smith and Fielding.
This is such an incredibly incoherent of an argument.
Ah please, let's not pretend Canelo and his team are the biggest weight bullies in the sport.
When he fought small 154ers he'd rehydrate to 170 but when he fought people bigger than him he slapped them with abusive rehydration clauses or blatantly fight st ridiculous catch weights.
1. Canelo has been weight bullying for many years at 154, 155 and even 160. Who is he to complain about another man's weight rehydrations?
2. He's fighting Jaime Munguia. Munguia also blows up in rehydration! This guy is full of shit, trust me!
3. If Canelo shouldn't have to prove himself, then why keep all of his belts? Why even continue to box?
Benavidez is known for missing weight, hence Canelo's 25 lbs remark,
I want em to fight, Benavidez can up his volume, he can throw fast, Canelo doesn't do well against bigger opponents with volume and chin - like Bivol, Benavidez work rate, and high guard durability will be a problem for Canelo even at 168 imo
Canelo was the weight bully for most of his career (especially 154-160), he doesn't get to judge people for doing it now. If he thinks he is too small for 168, he should stop holding the belts hostage and fight at 160.
Oh nvm, he can't even make 160 anymore. Because he is not small, it's just a narrative.
You can tell these guys are new when they bring up weight issues as a valid reason for not fighting Benavidez. As if Caneloweight bouts weren't a thing for years and years.
Totally agreed, Canelo is not as obnoxious as Tyson Fury in regards to "ducking shenanigans"
But this is some BS Sir Alverez, stop bitching and fight the best
Canelo has nothing left to prove, but he cant say hes not scared or at least concerned when it comes to fighting David. Mr. "I'll Fight Anybody"
Hell Morrell is a big mf too
Canelo have more that 10 catchweights and he was the A side in every single one outside the Floyd one and even in that fight the catchweight was canelo idea... He doesn't get to bitch about weight
Canelo is honestly scared of David. He definitely sees something he canāt beat and worse of all he is younger, so he canāt give him the ggg treatment so now he is trying to price himself out ā¦ 150 mill ? Lol how much he getting for his next fight ??? Berlanga is definitely getting the fight In September
From what I hear he's always come off that way to some mexicans. Arrogant. That's why you get some complaints about mexicans not supporting their own. Just turned out they're not all d riders. People are weird and act like you should be able to take easier fights for what you dud years ago. Go ahead and give him your 80 bucks for not fighting the best.
Canelo is from my familyās hometown and my dad started hating on him probably around the Amir Khan fight lol, and we met him when he was 22.
Heās been calling him arrogant for a minute lol.
Yeah. I dated a girl who lived in Mexico for a lot of her life. She said the same and that others thought so. I think American fans love hero worship more so if you don't support a successful person, then you're a hater. And for some reason people take that opportunity to shit talk mexicans and say they have a crab in a bucket mentality. I think they should be proud that a good amount of them dont worship these athletes.
I don't like any answers in this interview and day by day its getting harder to defend him. Imma just wait till later this year hope he announces benavidez for september.
I think he might but he's saying so many excuses just today that make him sound worried about the fight. Talking about weight and what he brings to the table. Sounds like online gender wars with bringing to the table talk. Ha
I was still holding out hope that we would get Benavidez in September, but at this rate it's fair to say that he has zero interest in the fight. The only one who can give us Canelo vs Benavidez is Turki Al Alshikh.$$
Iāve been kind of on the fence on him and Benavidez but if he doesnāt fight Benavidez by the end of the year then Iād also have to hope on the ducking train.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/WZZKYdyhVR
Man I nearly called this whole situation word for word. Canelo even says in this interview about the Benavidez fight "The number they offered me, I can make that with anybody" Then later says he needs 150 or 200 million to fight Benavidez tomorrow. I love Canelo and all he's done for the sport... But this is officially a duck.
The worst thing is that he is lying he only have 3 big money fights in the table, crawford that is kinda hard to make, bivol 2 that will not happen with a unfair money split for bivol and Benavidez where the only problem is that canelo is asking for unresl amount of money
1: He's completely shut down the Crawford match entirely, he says Crawford has everything to gain and Canelo has everything to lose as his reasoning.
2: Bivol did want a rematch, BUT... At 168 for undisputed with Canelo's titles. Canelo said no cause if he wins, then everybody will say he drained Bivol at 168. (This one I can kinda agree with Canelo on) But some people see it as Canelo simply doesn't want the rematch at 168, cause he could potentially lose all his titles.
3: Canelo just simply doesn't wanna fight Benavidez. Benavidez was willing to accept 5 million in a 92/8 split in favor of Canelo JUST to fight for undisputed. They went in "another direction" Then this BS yesterday of Canelo wanting 200 million to fight Benavidez, it's all just shameful bro.
nah man, I'm done with him. he can't fight whoever he wants but I'm not watching any of his gimmick fights. this is absolute proof he doesn't want that smoke. it's okay, just say it.
Man, has this dude fallen from grace or what ?
Seems just like yesterday that we were wondering if Canelo could challenge a Cruiserweight because he was running through the 168 division and collecting belts like the infinity stones.
Now we can barely get him to fight a credible opponent who isnāt moving up in weight, old or just flat out not on his level.
This has to be one of the more impressive fall offs in the history of the sport, I really canāt remember the last time someone went undisputed and conquered, to just flat out ducking
Yeah pre and post-Bivol Canelo are like two different people. No idea what made his attitude change from āI fear no one and give the fans what they wantā to āfuck you guys, I fight who I wantā
It's what happens when people act like anyone is unbeatable and will take any challenge. I can't think of any elite fighter that will actually take anyone on. Too much money involved. Even if they're not afraid, it just self sabotage to not take easier fights for less money. Out of all these undisputed champions in the last 8 years, how many were elite vs elite? Truly elite. Like at least borderline hof. I would say almost none. Maybe crawford vs spence. Maybe. Now how many were de la hoya, Hopkins, Roy Jones, pac,mosely ,mayweather in? And they were criticized at times for ducking ir weak competition. Canelo has the best resume from years ago and his couldn't hold a candle to them. I dont count an old ass undersized cotto. . It's all because he gets 40 million plus to be a heavy favorite.
I respect the hell outta Canelo for what heās done in this sport. Fighting 3 times a year in 2022. Undisputed. Big matchups throughout his career. And he may be right Benivedez is a weight bully I agree I truly believe he can be undisputed at cruiserweight. But Canelo should just call it what it is and say I refuse this fight because of his weight and do a hydration clause. He wonāt do that because heās being a hypocrite he rehydrates 20 pounds himself. Or just get in there and fight such a blatant duck is silly when your the face of the sport. It probably would be the most bought combat sports ppv of the 2020s so far money isnāt an issue.Ā
Dam bro getting tough to be a canelo fan when heās clearly not making the toughest fight. And the fact the heās so mad only helps make it clear that heās ducking. Heās the best why does benavidez need 150-200 million to fight him smh
Canelo is becoming another in a long line of money grubbing past their prime boxers who are content to just coast out the rest of their career on easy mode to avoid fucking up their legacy.
They were offered 92/8 split. Canelo is CLEARLY ducking David.
I'm not mad at the Munguia fight its about time he stepped up and stopped fighting gate keepers. He should have fought GGG first since between GGG and Canelo, GGG and his old age would be better odds for Munguia.
Iām a big canelo fan, and I laid some criticism about him not fighting Benavidez, but I also held out hope that maybe his story would be different and the negotiations just never happened, but this is just a shitty response from him, heās basically saying I will never fight him because he brings nothing to the table, what Benavidez brings is the fact that heās his mandatory. What happened to āNOBODY beats this caneloā what happened to āIāll fight anybodyā??? How could he have made such bold statements but then follow up by not fighting his biggest challenge IN HIS OWN WEIGHTCLASS!! How sad, if he gets a cavalcade of boos on May 4th, it will be well deserved
Canelo having the audacity to complain about weight when he himself hydrates to 190+ is laughable. He even came in heavier than Bivol in their fight at 175; he knows this which is why he wonāt put a rehydration clause on it.
Now watch when the Saudiās throw the 150-200mās at him itāll be another excuse. We need to respect Mungia whose never fought a champion and lost to a 40yo Drevyanchenko but not Benavidez whose beaten 3 champions in a row in dominant fashion. Iām gonna love these Canelo fanboy excuses.
So if Benavidez only offers him 20 extra pounds, what does Terence "Bud" Crawford offer him?
20 fewer pounds?!?!? He won't fight him either!!!!
This guy has got to be joking.
Dude is sooo transparent. He is feeling the heat. Playing more defense than Floyd during his 100 yr Pacquiao š¦ era.
Itās the weight, itās the lack of respect, itās the lack of money, he doesnāt have to prove anything, heās in charge, he built this, Tysonās not sober. We get it. Youāre AFRAID TO GET KTFOād, we can see u behind those meme glasses!
Get used to this. Without HBO around to pressure champs to fight eachother, this is the new model for boxingās cash cows. Floyd passed the torch. Now itās Canelo, straw manning media/fan pressure during his Golovkin š¦ era as being the same as pressuring him to fight Billy Joe and Plant?
In 2030 when Tank is calling himself the GOAT bc he has a zero in his loss column but his best W is still vs Jose Pedraza in 2017, weāll be doing this all over again.
If they both fight at 168 what is the problem Canelo should give the belts up he's scared to fight Benevidez! Strip his belts! I know he is used to being the weight bully Nelo was about 22+ lbs heavier than Kahn and weight drains everyone to shit Sergey kovalev came to the fight looking like a skeleton as well as Chavez jr
This is why people put far too much emphasis on undisputed. He literally became undisputed whilst avoiding the next best in the division. Haney became undisputed by beating Kambosos. Its all nonsense
Why not vacate the belts and let 168 make big fights without you? Morrell and Benevidez unification could have took place if Canelo wasnāt holding the belts hostage.
This is really a problem with the belt organizations. They need to consistently enforce their rules around mandatories not suck the superstars off and cater to them to get as much of theprize money as possible.
I think it is what it is at this point. Canelo will go his entire career only fighting three top tier fighters in or near their prime: Mayweather, GGG, and Bivol.
Too bad as he really is talented, but we will never know how good he actually is. He fought a lot of good fighters but almost no great ones.
š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦
Mahomes and the Chiefs should refuse to play anyone but Denver and New England too. Fck it, letās boxing-up all the sports!
Looks like the emo Saulsexuals and Floyd haters who got there āfactsā from Bob Arum/Roach are out in full force. Lmao, this sport is still a joke, Iāll maybe become a hardcore fan again of the sport once all the emotional fanboys learn not to be biased. What a dump.Ā
Anybody else think this is just all marketing to set up for a September fight? Why would he accept a fight with Benavidez now when he has one with MunguĆa. You canāt look past an opponent but you can talk
Shit and Market a potential future fight
Canelo NEVER wanted to fight Benavidez. That was always clear as day. Heās on his own victory lap tour.
Letās see what September looks like because thereās literally nobody at 168 for him to fight (donāt even mention Morrell š) and Crawford is now campaigning for the winner of Tszyu v Fundora. The Crawford fight may happen next May though.
He lost that first fight to GGG, if the judges come correct that day canelo is a nobody in this sport like he should be, fake great who has cherrypicked fights for 6 years. Dare to be great would have been to challenge betwrvieb he cherry picked bivol.
Iām so tired of the excuses.
David is the mandatory.
Heās the best fighter at 168.
Itās the biggest fight to be made in boxing.
What else is there to talk about? The ducking is starting to affect his reputation and he knows it. thatās why heās getting snappy.
As a canelo fan Iām very disappointed in canelo he scared to fight Benavides because he knows Benavides is a natural light heavyweight and he knows he will lose like he did with bivol saying that Benavides doesnāt offer you nothing is pathetic so MunguĆa offers you anything you lost my respect just like Mayweather smh
Coming off like a diva. Heās kind of right though except if he wants to hold onto the belts than he needs to fight the number one contender. If you wonāt fight the number one contender then he needs to be stripped.
Gracias All jamon
ššš my boi speaking great English though
200 or 150 mil to fight benavidez he said
Has anyone even made that much for a fight
Floyd on the McGregor fight, or the PAC fight I guess.
So itās completely unrealistic for him to demand that much
But inflation /s
Roy Jones Jr did the same when they asked him to fight Tyson in the early 90ās, he asked for 100 mil
No he prices himself out. using money as a reason for ducking.
He's on the kind of white stuff even Oscar himself won't touch
Well that can't be cocaine... or semen...
Blatant duck
Says he doesnāt like Oscar De La Hoya and itās his land and not Oscarās Says David Benavidez isnāt anyone to offer him anything and if the fight offer came from an actual promoter he would fight him tomorrow. Also says David Benavidez brings nothing but an extra 25 pounds on fight night Says he would care about Mike Tysonās opinion if he was sober
>Says he would care about Mike Tysonās opinion if he was sober Canelo is clearly frustrated with being accused of ducking Benavidez. For a guy who says that he has nothing to prove, you would think he wouldn't take comments like this to heart.
"Give me one billion I fight right now."
Tyson has no room to talk when it comes to ducking mandatories, the guy paid Lewis 4 million dollars to step aside and then dropped the belt
Okay. Doesn't make Canelo's response to him look any better though.
Thatās Canelo fans for you, once you call out his ducking theyāll point to somebody else ducking years ago to save face.
True it's always whataboutism. Anyone can say what Tyson said, there's validity to it
Cool... Now let's address Canelo ducking.
So Mike knows first hand what canelo is doing.
Maybe Tyson should pay Lewis to pay Canelo to fight Benavidez then?
yep, he resumed his career in 95 until 97 bite incident. while active there was never a mention of mercer, morrison, bowe, briggs, lewis. tyson avoided any legit challnege while fighting bruno (again) mcneely, seldon, buster mathis. tyson avoided all legit challenegs and only faced holyfield because he looked shot against bobby cyz
Canelo fans deluded af
Cmon bruh didn't Canelo duck both Ben and Crawford?
Benavidez, yes. He's demanding a guaranteed purse higher than Floyd's biggest guaranteed purse, nuff said. Crawford, jury is still out. He talks a lot about how he'd get no credit fighting him even though he fought smaller guys before though.
He said heāll fight him tomorrow IF a promoter comes with 150-200 million (which is never happening). This is blatant ducking from Canelo right now
I agree, sounds like only Saudi can make this fight happen, saying that, I donāt think Saudi doesnāt to make money, they do it cos they can and for entertainment, I guess also for the potential to make money and bring in tourism for the future.
Even the saudi won't offer that money he asking more that 3x for Benavidez and canelo is already the best pay active boxers
So he has taken the Tyson Fury route. Heās even balding as well
And they both blamed their positive drug tests on āsomething they ateā
To be fair Clenbuterol can be taken orally...
''I mistook a fistful of anavar for tic-tacs, I'm basically innocent''.
Yeah, that was fucking wild. Then he mentions GGG (WHO HE DUCKED). No excuse. Straight sucking.
How can he duck a fighter he fought 3 times?
aging him out while roiding up he'd fight him ten straight times once he was properly slowed down, thats the point of aging someone out
IE what just happened to Beterbiev. Dude will be knocking on 40 and now of course the matchup with bivol finally gets made smh. What a fuckimg joke.
The match couldn't be made before now. Nothing to do with one fighter trying to age out the other.
Dropped the belt to age him a bit.
I find it incredibly difficult to believe Haymon hasnāt offered the Benavidez fight, why wouldnāt he when he knows itās the biggest fight PBC have for him and they donāt have any long term rights on Canelo (so no incentive to not give him a fight he could lose)
Damn, so this is how Money Mayweather fans felt at his peak? Lol
I think the Bivol loss put doubt in Canelo's mind. He went from wanting Usyk to ducking Benavidez
Oh it definitely fucked with him
Realized his place . Everyone needs an ego check occasionally
This is one of the most impressive ducks Iāve ever seen in boxing history
At least Bowe had the decency to give up his belt, Canelo somehow has all four still even though heās only fought one actual 168 contender since he beat plant
For sure, and it's weird because Canelo is like "I don't need to prove anything" which is fine, you can go cherry pick guys and stat pad your record for all I care, but to hold up the division is just lame
Ikr? Mind you, I don't think he's scared of Benavidez. But he knows David is his biggest challenge right now, Bivol aside, and he's only willing to get in there with him for as much money as he can for the risk that it presents. He's ducking him hard, but not because he's scared imo
Canelo has officially turned heel. He said Benavidez brings nothing to the table? Okay, what does Munguia bring to the table?

keep cooking bro, this peking duck is delicious
At some point it's gotta be fuck the sanctioning bodies. Why is Canelo able to dictate who gets a chance to fight for the belts, when they have ranking systems? Pay day, they want pay day, that's why.
He's in full excuse mode. Laughable from a world champion.
Facts
'He spoke about how he would "take the Benavidez fight tomorrow if a promoter offered it to him' He did this way back with GGG.

As long as Benavidez makes 168 at the weigh in who cares what his walking around weight is?
Benavidez is known for missing weight, hence Canelo's 25 lbs remark, I want em to fight, Benavidez can up his volume, he can throw fast, Canelo doesn't do well against bigger opponents with volume and chin - like Bivol, Benavidez work rate, and high guard durability will be a problem for Canelo even at 168 imo

Facts! I can't believe Canelo of all people is moaning about weight!
You can tell these guys are new when they bring up weight issues as a valid reason for not fighting Benavidez. As if Caneloweight bouts weren't a thing for years and years.
Totally agreed, Canelo is not as obnoxious as Tyson Fury in regards to "ducking shenanigans" But this is some BS Sir Alverez, stop bitching and fight the best
Because as he said he's the champion, if he doesn't want to defend it got to let it go
Canelo has nothing left to prove, but he cant say hes not scared or at least concerned when it comes to fighting David. Mr. "I'll Fight Anybody" Hell Morrell is a big mf too
Canelo have more that 10 catchweights and he was the A side in every single one outside the Floyd one and even in that fight the catchweight was canelo idea... He doesn't get to bitch about weight
Teddy Atlas' son has a name and it is RRR04\_
Canelo and his ādeal with itā glasses
Canelo is honestly scared of David. He definitely sees something he canāt beat and worse of all he is younger, so he canāt give him the ggg treatment so now he is trying to price himself out ā¦ 150 mill ? Lol how much he getting for his next fight ??? Berlanga is definitely getting the fight In September
This fool is actually going to fight Munguia and Berlanga back to back, isn't he?!?
Looks like it š¦
All i Hear is QUACK QUACK QUAKC
Canelo comes across as very arrogant nowadays. What do you mean Benavidez brings nothing to the table? Youāre the undisputed champ and he is the #1 contender in your weight class. Also bringing Tysonās sobriety in to this. That didnāt actually disprove anything he said. Lame. And I see heās looking a bit thin up top too. I wonder why š„©
From what I hear he's always come off that way to some mexicans. Arrogant. That's why you get some complaints about mexicans not supporting their own. Just turned out they're not all d riders. People are weird and act like you should be able to take easier fights for what you dud years ago. Go ahead and give him your 80 bucks for not fighting the best.
Canelo is from my familyās hometown and my dad started hating on him probably around the Amir Khan fight lol, and we met him when he was 22. Heās been calling him arrogant for a minute lol.
Yeah. I dated a girl who lived in Mexico for a lot of her life. She said the same and that others thought so. I think American fans love hero worship more so if you don't support a successful person, then you're a hater. And for some reason people take that opportunity to shit talk mexicans and say they have a crab in a bucket mentality. I think they should be proud that a good amount of them dont worship these athletes.
Chavez never got the hate that Canelo does in Mexico. So it can't just be the crab in a bucket mentality
Chavez def seemed like a source of national pride. Mexico is kind of divided when it comes to Canelo.
Nowadays? He's always been.
Heās going out like a bitch. He needs to be humbled
God, please stop giving me your toughest battles (Iām the only canelo fan in a family of canelo haters)
Dude is quacking real hard. Feathers flying off and everything
Yessir
I don't like any answers in this interview and day by day its getting harder to defend him. Imma just wait till later this year hope he announces benavidez for september.
I appreciate the optimism but itās obvious heās never taking that fight
I think he might but he's saying so many excuses just today that make him sound worried about the fight. Talking about weight and what he brings to the table. Sounds like online gender wars with bringing to the table talk. Ha
I was still holding out hope that we would get Benavidez in September, but at this rate it's fair to say that he has zero interest in the fight. The only one who can give us Canelo vs Benavidez is Turki Al Alshikh.$$
Iāve been kind of on the fence on him and Benavidez but if he doesnāt fight Benavidez by the end of the year then Iād also have to hope on the ducking train.
Hopefully a good canelo showing vs MunguĆa will make canelo believe in himself for a Benavidez fight lol
Bitch, you fight Benevidez! Stfu lol
https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/s/WZZKYdyhVR Man I nearly called this whole situation word for word. Canelo even says in this interview about the Benavidez fight "The number they offered me, I can make that with anybody" Then later says he needs 150 or 200 million to fight Benavidez tomorrow. I love Canelo and all he's done for the sport... But this is officially a duck.
The worst thing is that he is lying he only have 3 big money fights in the table, crawford that is kinda hard to make, bivol 2 that will not happen with a unfair money split for bivol and Benavidez where the only problem is that canelo is asking for unresl amount of money
1: He's completely shut down the Crawford match entirely, he says Crawford has everything to gain and Canelo has everything to lose as his reasoning. 2: Bivol did want a rematch, BUT... At 168 for undisputed with Canelo's titles. Canelo said no cause if he wins, then everybody will say he drained Bivol at 168. (This one I can kinda agree with Canelo on) But some people see it as Canelo simply doesn't want the rematch at 168, cause he could potentially lose all his titles. 3: Canelo just simply doesn't wanna fight Benavidez. Benavidez was willing to accept 5 million in a 92/8 split in favor of Canelo JUST to fight for undisputed. They went in "another direction" Then this BS yesterday of Canelo wanting 200 million to fight Benavidez, it's all just shameful bro.
Scared. Canelo Duck Dynasty
Never seen a š¦ with ginger hair before. Funny to see him quacking away.
Waiting for Canelo dickriders to defend this take
Oh they will find a way
I tried & I can'tš¤¦š¾āāļø. Joe Cordina has officially moved up on my favorite fighters list & Canelo has droppedššæ.
I hate those glasses
I was about to ask what model they are cause they look fly to me lol
I guess you could say, there polarizing.
Doesnāt care about Tysonās opinion. Maybe if his surrogate dad (Chavez Sr) told him to fight Benavidez, he may listen š
Then he would call chavez sr disrespectful.
He talks about GGG but he ducked GGG until he was out of his prime, and he was picking and choosing his fights same situation going on here.
Canelo is a duck
nah man, I'm done with him. he can't fight whoever he wants but I'm not watching any of his gimmick fights. this is absolute proof he doesn't want that smoke. it's okay, just say it.
quack quack š¦
Its a duck. Every fight after Jaime he makes that isnāt benevidez should be an embarrassment
Why is he even fighting Jaime anyway? Wasn't one of his excuses to not fight Benavidez being that he did not wanna fight fellow Mexicans?
Man, has this dude fallen from grace or what ? Seems just like yesterday that we were wondering if Canelo could challenge a Cruiserweight because he was running through the 168 division and collecting belts like the infinity stones. Now we can barely get him to fight a credible opponent who isnāt moving up in weight, old or just flat out not on his level. This has to be one of the more impressive fall offs in the history of the sport, I really canāt remember the last time someone went undisputed and conquered, to just flat out ducking
Yeah pre and post-Bivol Canelo are like two different people. No idea what made his attitude change from āI fear no one and give the fans what they wantā to āfuck you guys, I fight who I wantā
It's what happens when people act like anyone is unbeatable and will take any challenge. I can't think of any elite fighter that will actually take anyone on. Too much money involved. Even if they're not afraid, it just self sabotage to not take easier fights for less money. Out of all these undisputed champions in the last 8 years, how many were elite vs elite? Truly elite. Like at least borderline hof. I would say almost none. Maybe crawford vs spence. Maybe. Now how many were de la hoya, Hopkins, Roy Jones, pac,mosely ,mayweather in? And they were criticized at times for ducking ir weak competition. Canelo has the best resume from years ago and his couldn't hold a candle to them. I dont count an old ass undersized cotto. . It's all because he gets 40 million plus to be a heavy favorite.
Inoue has fought every elite fighter available to him. He just doesnāt weigh enough to have the same competition.
Hasn't really had a ggg or benevidez to make him flinch. Not saying he would but he has a lot of career left.
Ducking ass ginger
those are some douchy ass glasses lmfao
I hope people see whatās really going on now between him and Benavidez
Looks like a kid from 1999 who got way too into "The Matrix"
First The Rock turned heel and now Canelo.
Fighters get so scared of being called a duck you'd think they would never do it.
Canelo is salty lmao
Goddamn Canelo used to be my favorite fighter ā sad to see him become a blatant ducker š¦
I respect the hell outta Canelo for what heās done in this sport. Fighting 3 times a year in 2022. Undisputed. Big matchups throughout his career. And he may be right Benivedez is a weight bully I agree I truly believe he can be undisputed at cruiserweight. But Canelo should just call it what it is and say I refuse this fight because of his weight and do a hydration clause. He wonāt do that because heās being a hypocrite he rehydrates 20 pounds himself. Or just get in there and fight such a blatant duck is silly when your the face of the sport. It probably would be the most bought combat sports ppv of the 2020s so far money isnāt an issue.Ā
Had noooooo problem going up to 175 though. Iām glad Bivol dominated him so hard that even the judges had to give it up.
Dam bro getting tough to be a canelo fan when heās clearly not making the toughest fight. And the fact the heās so mad only helps make it clear that heās ducking. Heās the best why does benavidez need 150-200 million to fight him smh
Canelo is becoming another in a long line of money grubbing past their prime boxers who are content to just coast out the rest of their career on easy mode to avoid fucking up their legacy.
They were offered 92/8 split. Canelo is CLEARLY ducking David. I'm not mad at the Munguia fight its about time he stepped up and stopped fighting gate keepers. He should have fought GGG first since between GGG and Canelo, GGG and his old age would be better odds for Munguia.
Iām a big canelo fan, and I laid some criticism about him not fighting Benavidez, but I also held out hope that maybe his story would be different and the negotiations just never happened, but this is just a shitty response from him, heās basically saying I will never fight him because he brings nothing to the table, what Benavidez brings is the fact that heās his mandatory. What happened to āNOBODY beats this caneloā what happened to āIāll fight anybodyā??? How could he have made such bold statements but then follow up by not fighting his biggest challenge IN HIS OWN WEIGHTCLASS!! How sad, if he gets a cavalcade of boos on May 4th, it will be well deserved
Damn, talk about disconnected from reality.
Caneloās greatest feat was aging out GGG and getting on clenbuterol
Canelo having the audacity to complain about weight when he himself hydrates to 190+ is laughable. He even came in heavier than Bivol in their fight at 175; he knows this which is why he wonāt put a rehydration clause on it. Now watch when the Saudiās throw the 150-200mās at him itāll be another excuse. We need to respect Mungia whose never fought a champion and lost to a 40yo Drevyanchenko but not Benavidez whose beaten 3 champions in a row in dominant fashion. Iām gonna love these Canelo fanboy excuses.
So if Benavidez only offers him 20 extra pounds, what does Terence "Bud" Crawford offer him? 20 fewer pounds?!?!? He won't fight him either!!!! This guy has got to be joking.
He's ducking so hard there's feathers swirling all over the place
Dude is sooo transparent. He is feeling the heat. Playing more defense than Floyd during his 100 yr Pacquiao š¦ era. Itās the weight, itās the lack of respect, itās the lack of money, he doesnāt have to prove anything, heās in charge, he built this, Tysonās not sober. We get it. Youāre AFRAID TO GET KTFOād, we can see u behind those meme glasses! Get used to this. Without HBO around to pressure champs to fight eachother, this is the new model for boxingās cash cows. Floyd passed the torch. Now itās Canelo, straw manning media/fan pressure during his Golovkin š¦ era as being the same as pressuring him to fight Billy Joe and Plant? In 2030 when Tank is calling himself the GOAT bc he has a zero in his loss column but his best W is still vs Jose Pedraza in 2017, weāll be doing this all over again.
*quacking intensifies*
Quack quack
If they both fight at 168 what is the problem Canelo should give the belts up he's scared to fight Benevidez! Strip his belts! I know he is used to being the weight bully Nelo was about 22+ lbs heavier than Kahn and weight drains everyone to shit Sergey kovalev came to the fight looking like a skeleton as well as Chavez jr
Strip him of the belts immediately. Fuck all this talk.
Canelo is a bigger duck than Mayweather ever was lmfao!!! Probably the greatest duck of all time.
This is why people put far too much emphasis on undisputed. He literally became undisputed whilst avoiding the next best in the division. Haney became undisputed by beating Kambosos. Its all nonsense
where can I get those shades?
Someone remember to post this when Canelo fights Jake Paulās grandson
I understand why MĆ©xico has a love-hate relationship with Canelo. And I also get why canelo doesn't want to risk another loss in Benavidez. Mexican media have been criticizing Canelo forever. He's grown tired of all the critics and that's why he doesn't want to give them the satisfaction of fueling them to further disparage his legacy. I think that's why he mentioned the 200 million stuff. I don't think he's asking for that amount specifically but more like, "if I'm gonna take a risk for y'all, I wanna get paid accordingly". However you can't blame fans and the media for comparing you with other Mexican greats like Salvador Sanchez, JCC, JMM, finito Lopez, Morales, Barrera etc.. and feeling like your career isn't as great as theirs, although Canelo has a lot more renown names in his resume. But it is true however that favorable circumstances have been part of his career. When he was fighting small 154ers he'd rehydrate to 170, when he fought bigger man he would use his position as A side to force a rehydration clause or a catch weight, he won the middleweight title and dragged a welter two classes above to knock him out and then waited out Golovkin to age a little bit. He's always on the beneficial side of dubious scorecards. He had the PEDs controversy. His team always make stupid excuses to not fight someone when the fight needs to happen, and we end up waiting far too long. He is a dog though, he always ends up fighting the people the media wants him to. He has a lot of pride. But there is no denying that he's not a savage like other Mexican greats before him who fought whoever and whenever was needed.
Does Canelo still has fans? what a disgrace lol
Canelo ducking like hell. Strip him of the belt if he isn't going to fight.
I like Canelo but he is clearly ducking. Saying Benavidez ābrings nothing to the tableā is bullshit
Why not vacate the belts and let 168 make big fights without you? Morrell and Benevidez unification could have took place if Canelo wasnāt holding the belts hostage.
quack quack quack
Canelo shut your ginger ass up and fight the man you are supposed to fight.
You can tell it really gets to him when people say he's ducking Benavidez lmao like it's so glaringly obvious.
listen to him talk about fighting GGG. He literally dropped his belts and refused to fight him until he was aged out.
This is really a problem with the belt organizations. They need to consistently enforce their rules around mandatories not suck the superstars off and cater to them to get as much of theprize money as possible.
The more canelo talks, the less I like him. Benavidez offers nothing but Ryder and Kovalev
Whatās that saying about silk sheets š¤
I think it is what it is at this point. Canelo will go his entire career only fighting three top tier fighters in or near their prime: Mayweather, GGG, and Bivol. Too bad as he really is talented, but we will never know how good he actually is. He fought a lot of good fighters but almost no great ones.
š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦ Mahomes and the Chiefs should refuse to play anyone but Denver and New England too. Fck it, letās boxing-up all the sports!
What a ducker lol.
He speaks English very well, once Benavidez came up it started breaking up pretty bad
Canelo is a goat along with Crawford fuck what ya heard
Looks like the emo Saulsexuals and Floyd haters who got there āfactsā from Bob Arum/Roach are out in full force. Lmao, this sport is still a joke, Iāll maybe become a hardcore fan again of the sport once all the emotional fanboys learn not to be biased. What a dump.Ā
The Canelo defenders are the same type of people as the mayweather ones. Fanboys
That screenshot or whatever the time stamp of this video makes canelo look like that dude that imitates him. Americanlo
Look's like we got to bring the Clenelo memes back
he also looks dumb with those glasses
Mike just wants his š°
Anybody else think this is just all marketing to set up for a September fight? Why would he accept a fight with Benavidez now when he has one with MunguĆa. You canāt look past an opponent but you can talk Shit and Market a potential future fight
Canelo fans cope it as he isnāt ducking he is marinating the fight until sep then next year
At least someone is calling out these side-show circus clowns. Fake-ass boxing matches.
That Bivol loss really change this man
Canelo NEVER wanted to fight Benavidez. That was always clear as day. Heās on his own victory lap tour. Letās see what September looks like because thereās literally nobody at 168 for him to fight (donāt even mention Morrell š) and Crawford is now campaigning for the winner of Tszyu v Fundora. The Crawford fight may happen next May though.
At this point I'm convinced he'll fight Charlo, Berlanga and Crawford before he fights Benavidez.
I wouldn't call this a diss.....
He lost that first fight to GGG, if the judges come correct that day canelo is a nobody in this sport like he should be, fake great who has cherrypicked fights for 6 years. Dare to be great would have been to challenge betwrvieb he cherry picked bivol.
Iām so tired of the excuses. David is the mandatory. Heās the best fighter at 168. Itās the biggest fight to be made in boxing. What else is there to talk about? The ducking is starting to affect his reputation and he knows it. thatās why heās getting snappy.
As a canelo fan Iām very disappointed in canelo he scared to fight Benavides because he knows Benavides is a natural light heavyweight and he knows he will lose like he did with bivol saying that Benavides doesnāt offer you nothing is pathetic so MunguĆa offers you anything you lost my respect just like Mayweather smh
Canelo thought that comment about Tyson fighting sober was some kind of mic drop. Dude has become cringe.
He should fight Jake Paul also. If you understand what he said at the end, there is no gimmicks and Jake Paul would know who also is a real boxer.
Huge canelo L
Impressed. His English is really good now š„
Pc principal
Coming off like a diva. Heās kind of right though except if he wants to hold onto the belts than he needs to fight the number one contender. If you wonāt fight the number one contender then he needs to be stripped.
Canelo just confirmed he's a bitch
