Boxing never fails with the fukkery a Canelo's fans are the worse with their mental gymnastics. To be honest, I expected him to fight David rather than fighting a 168 regular champ.

Meh its a regular belt, I don't really see the point. Are folks really gonna call him a 4 division champ for winning a regular title?
If ESPN or other articles falsely dub him as "Champ" These dudes will run with it, especially to make Canelo look good. Rocky Fielding is a Micky mouse title holder he ain't no champ or individual belt holder for these alphabet titles.

I don’t like the fight, but what else could you expect right ? It’s all about protecting brand.

He gets to fight a title holder at 168, which just adds another element to selling the fight despite the fact the better comp is in his current weight class.

What gymnastics are you speaking of, friend?

Canelo is coming off grueling back to back bouts against Golovkin, to move up a weight class and challenge a WBA titleholder. A mere three months after winning a rightful decision against Golovkin.

What other champion is doing that right now? Would you rather he stay on the sidelines like Thurman, friend?

December 15, Mexican style returns to MSG. Make sure to tune in, friend.

Lemieux is just a name to me I’d rather see a fight vs an unknown bigger fighter than Lemeiux let him go fight Charlo

fielding is not unknown to me..if fielding gives canelo any trouble much less hurts him...thats a problem lol

the only question for me regarding that fight is who is airing it? and in what fashion?
