"Following In The Footsteps of Mayweather or Josesito?" Canelo v Khan HBO PPV May 7th Fight Thread

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Who doesn't have problems with speed N a great jab


90% of boxers from any era have issues with cutting off the ring / punching with out being set

Look at Matthysse in his prime muhfukkers were talking like he was the T1000 stalking Lil Jon Connor....N he still had issues...being sloppy throwing punches missing so bad he'd fall to the ground

Who tf has GGG cut the Ring off against?? Master boxers Rosado N Monroe

It's not even about me not believing, his own handlers don't believe it...

If they did they wouldn't be scared of losing to Lara...

and who are these minds? Fat Dan, Jim Lampley and HBO?

Honestly I dint even want to entertain Lara vs ggg... if u think Lara beats ggg I just can't take u seriously as a poster.

Canelos endurance isn't bad...his only L is to Floyd(I think 47-1-1)...it can't be that bad ...plus 3G won't run at all...so there won't be much chasing.

Its bad. He takes long periods of a round off from throwing punches and its not like he's a volume puncher.

I'd pick Jacobs or Eubank Jr to beat Canelo or be at least 50/50 in those fights.

I like Canelo and dude has skills no doubt. His sharp combinations and accuracy are beautiful to watch. I think his stamina is average as fukk, maybe below average. His footwork is okay, but he has slow cement feet. He's got good reflexes, countering, and defensive skills. He's always had the power edge in his fights though. I think he'll struggle with guys his size or bigger that have a greater or equal skill set and more power.

I mean how much of an underdog would JRock be in a Canelo fight. Same thing with the Charlo twins and all these would be at 154 which is closer to the weight Canelo wants to fight at. I see those as 50/50 bouts.

Canelo is just going to have to use his name to bring welterweights up to face him in matches similar to this Khan one. Aint to many big name fights at 154 like that, but it's a more competitive division for him. He should just fight Golovkin now and get it out of the way and eat good off of the welters with names (Porter, Swift, Brook) while on the comeback trail. He'd still be the favorite over them dudes.

People love shytting on Swift but his skills are on par with Canelo, maybe even better.

plus, Swift looked better than Canelo did in 4 rounds against Khan.

I think Swift could prolly decision Canelo. He can box that stick and move fight and counter within those counter exchanges all while having a good chin. The battle of the body shots would be great to watch as well.

Canelo got a lot of tough fights out there imo even if he were to pick on welters.

I jus woke up N already reaching for the AK by my night stand right next to my bible... just in case

Rewatching now and Canelo sets him up for that right from round 1. He misses it in round 1, gets closer in Rd 2 w it but misses, lands in rnd 3 barely, lands but to the body in Rd 4, khan catches on the gloves in Rd 5 so he goes to the body w it then the head, Rd 6

The point of that fight is for GGG to have a common opp with Canelo...jus like did with Floyd for years

N we get to see if GGG cutting off the ring skills are as good as advertised

Plus Lara got Pop N we've seen him in danger he fights if forced to

 

[seemorecizzy]

Canelo my guy but khan was out boxing easy for the first couple rounds
Mexicans in the arena were looking depressed and shyt
Can't believe ppl think he stands a chance against floyd lol

Khan exposed a lot of canelos weaknesses again in this fight despite the l

Nah son, you're not ducking this shyt like your boy has Dre and Lara...

It's simple logic a fukking 12 year old could understand...

If Generico's handlers believe Lara is an easy fight for him like you do then why fight Dominic Wade instead of Lara?
Why not fight Lara and show everyone you're better than Nelo by KOing the guy he couldn't?

 

[krackdagawd]

Anyone seen that fight and was thinking...damn Floyd would STILL outclass Canelo in a rematch.

Was thinking the same thing Floyd would have him resetting his feet all night.

Nah son, you're not ducking this shyt like your boy has Dre and Lara...

If Generico's handlers believe Lara is an easy fight for lil G like you do then why fight Dominic Wade instead of Lara?
Why not fight Lara and show everyone you're better than Nelo by KOing the guy he couldn't?

Begging people to believe Lara has a chance against ggg is a joke, can't take u seriously

Ggg fights at 160, but he needs to fight these smaller guys canelo fought to prove a point?.. c'mon u guys, how about they just fight

Deflection translation: I can't answer the question because I'm afraid to admit you're right...

The Cartel needs to do an avi or ban bet with the shookboyz when the fight gets signed...

You already know i'm in...

He's been calling out a smaller Canelo for years now n he just started calling out Floyd. Now it's about 160 tho

He was setting Khan up for that punch all night really... Whether he knew it or not

I was watching it with some homies. I said that Khan was gonna win the first few rounds but once he slows down Canelo was gonna catch him and knock his ass out....

I love it when im right

I'm like, if he getting slept by nikkas at 147, dude is not gonna be able to handle the power of Canelo.

Canelo was digging to the body more which dropped Khans hands more.

Canelo did the same shyt to Kirkland, dipped low and came uptop with an overhand like you do tall nikkas.

I hope Khan leaves Mayweathers name out his mouth forever now... And the only big money fight he has left is Kell Brook. Can't duck him now

Canelo should go ahead and work GGG. Only problem he will have is fighting against a middleweights power. GGG is a solid boxer but I think Canelos got more skill. Power is gonna be the main issue.

GGG ain't fought nobody for nikkas to be dikkriding him. Isn't dude almost 40 or some shyt? How you not fight anyone your entire career yet you the boogeyman all of a sudden, not willing to go up in weight to fight competition but willing to have competition come up in weight to fight you
