Went way too far...Floyd is way too good defensively. What he said about Hagler is a problem too..Hagler would murder anyone that Floyd, Crawford, or GGG have ever faced. Decimate them.
In the case of craw and ggg.....apart from nelo :mjlol: just :mjlol:

Tony Harrison: "I just wanna hold him up & whip him with a belt...pop, pop, pop. You shouldn't have did that son" :russ:

I'm genuinely looking forward to this. I don't know who wins but if Charlo fights off emotion like the way he's been behaving since his belt was taken then he could be in for a long night

Canelo Vacates WBO Light Heavyweight Title; Reign Lasts 6 Weeks
By Keith Idec

Canelo Alvarez’s reign as WBO light heavyweight champion didn’t even last two months.

In a statement released Tuesday morning by Golden Boy Promotions, Alvarez announced that he has vacated the WBO’s 175-pound championship. The Mexican icon won that title by knocking out Sergey Kovalev in the 11th round of their November 2 fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The 29-year-old Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) jumped up two weight classes to challenge Russia’s Kovalev (34-4-1, 29 KOs). Their scheduled 12-round fight was very competitive before Alvarez knocked Kovalev unconscious with a right hand that left the former champion slumped against the ropes.

“I know that my accomplishments in the ring have brought pride to my fans and my country,” Alvarez said. “I have long enjoyed my relationship with the WBO and appreciate all they do to preserve and enhance the sport of boxing. This agreement allows the WBO to have its light heavyweight title contested regularly and allows me to pursue bouts against the best opponents, regardless of weight class.”

Relinquishing the WBO’s light heavyweight title all but guarantees that Alvarez will move down either to super middleweight or middleweight for his next fight.

If Alvarez changes his mind about boxing Gennadiy Golovkin a third time, continuing their rivalry would be the highest-profile option available for Alvarez. Demetrius Andrade, the WBO champ, and Jermall Charlo, the WBC champ, also are appealing opponents for Alvarez at the 160-pound limit.

At super middleweight, champions David Benavidez (WBC), Billy Joe Saunders (WBO) and Callum Smith (WBA) have openly campaigned for fights versus Alvarez.

His convincing victory over Kovalev made Alvarez a world champion in a fourth weight class. He previously won world titles at junior middleweight (154 pounds), middleweight (160) and super middleweight (168).

Alvarez’s super middleweight title has been discarded by detractors because Rocky Fielding, whom he knocked out in the third round a year ago at Madison Square Garden, was the WBA’s secondary titlist 168 pounds. Fielding also had been stopped in the first round by Smith, the WBA’s legitimate super middleweight champ, three years earlier.

that was quick :heh:..beterbiev ruled that division and he was looming

How so this is a move for AJ confidence with the top level, Ruiz was a punching bag and I still saw him land the best shots which folded and didnt drop AJ.........

Fury doesnt have to kiss AJ ass to get that fight......AJ as proven with his statement is trying to avoid Wilder by any means necessary....
