Now that Canelo is officially at 160, it appears he is going to have less cherry picking opportunities, can we agree?

Looks like his best options are actually going to be live opponents.

There were just too many opportunities at 154 for cherry picking while he was there. He could lure the talent from 147. He had the past their prime guys at 154.

Yes

Boxing is a business and cherry picking is always going to be involved, as its about making the most money for the least amount of risk. The actual fighter himself isn't scare of anybody.

I'm trying to have an objective conversation here. I can really pick apart his resume, but have no desire to do it, specifically with a poster like yourself that spams the board with bullshyt.

You know damn well every fighter would fight Floyd if presented the opportunity.

Lara was a legit 50/50 fight, but it would have never happened if Oscar was in rehab.

Armed guards and shyt :dame:

wondering if he has cartel connections or he needs this type of protection specially from the cartels
They all fear him. Fear is wisdom. The cartels can only ravage you body. #canelocartel ravages your body and soul :mjgrin:
Look at what happened to Chavez. Going into this he was already taking L's but afterwards the L's stacked up :picard:
Lose over 50 pounds in 9 months and seclude yourself in the Temoyoayan mountains. Have one of the greatest trainers in Nacho, Memo and Chavez Sr. in your corner and look like shyt come fight day:picard:
Canelo was standing between rounds too. :mjlol:
Get put on blast by your own father on national TV :picard:
Get your fight purse cheque, 40k watch jacked by a bunch of groupies :picard:
The Aztec God of war Huitzilopochtli himself frowns down upon Chavez. No one wants that kinda spiritual battle. #canelocartel may become the new EA cover curse

Seriously though I think he has to be neutral or cool with them. If the cartel wants you they will get you. They got serious connections in Mexico:hubie:

Yeah I know this is why I was wondering

I mean not even Floyd travels with such protection
