Is Canelo Alvarez the worst cherrypicker and ducker in boxing history?

I’ve noticed Canelo only fights either old fighters past their primes or a fighter coming off a terrible performance his last fight.

just look at this:

Mosley (on a 3 loss streak before Canelo cherrypicked him)
GGG (waited till he was 35 and only when he went life and death with Jacobs that Canelo picked him)
Kovalev (old and washed who got ktfo a few fights earlier before Canelo cherrypicked him on a very short notice)
Callum Smith (looked terrible vs Ryder, Arguably lost)
Saunders (looked terrible vs Coceres, was losing on the cards before the KO)
Plant (looked terrible vs Truax)

In short Canelo wants no part of a fighter who looked good in his recent fights and is not old or washed.

Don’t expect him to fight Beterbiev, Bivol, Joe Smith, Golovkin and Andrade anytime soon.

With Canelo’s trend of cherrypicking I’m pretty sure Charlo (looked terrible against Montiel would be on a 11 month layoff in May) or Makabu (looked horrible vs Mchunu, only won by robbery) is next on his cherry list.

:aicmon:In before all the “black fans” come in here continuing to elevate this white boy over the Goat or black fighters putting in work fighting the best.

Imagine Floyd or any black fighter saying they won’t fight anymore black fighters. The media would never let them even breath without slamming them for it, stating they ducking the best fighters. The best boxers are black people and Mexicans. Dude a hoe :mjtf:

He's a fraud..got skills but he got caught cheating because he didn't believe in his skills to beat 37 yr old GGG. Lol. Seems scared to death of David Benavidez..doesn't want NO PART of Andrade...and is waiting for Beterbiev to get old. He's no Hagler, Roy Jones, Leonard, Tommy Hearns.

P4p #1? With his ducking, probably shouldn't be top 5. But white media keeps pushing the narrative.

Keep up the good fight breh. People have been talking about his opponents and the fact he's probably juicing for years. Doesn't seem to matter, majority boxing fans don't care and rate him P4P #1. Charlo as a cherry pick is an interesting agenda angle tho, dude HAS looked mid lately but still surprised you took that angle :smugdraper:

He's still got a damn good resume and will probably have more good fights in the future. Or at least we can hope he will at least.

Hearns said Canelo told him he can beat Uysk
Speaking on The MMA Hour recently, Eddie Hearn gave fans an insight into the total and utter self-belief Canelo Alvarez’ mindset gives him. Hearn, who said the Mexican star is “arguably the best fighter I’ve ever seen up close, but even across the generations,” spoke about how being around Canelo lets a person know “the importance of confidence and mindset of a fighter.”
Hearn said Canelo is so utterly full of confidence, “he thinks he can beat Oleksandr Usyk.”
“When you’re around someone like Canelo Alvarez, you start to realise the importance of confidence and mindset of a fighter,” Hearn said. “He thinks he’s completely unbeatable and he thinks he can beat Oleksandr Usyk
