By Jimmy James: Informal followers world wide and mainstream sports activities networks rank Mexican celebrity Canelo Alvarez as one of the best pound for pound on the planet. Canelo not solely grew to become probably the most profitable boxer since Floyd Mayweather Jr retired however has change into a worldwide icon amongst his fellow countrymen that assist him in each struggle whatever the circumstances.
Canelo has thought-about combating in opposition to Errol Spence and even opened the door for a future struggle in opposition to Jake Paul; Sure, ‘Jake Paul.’ But, he’s adamant to not struggle Demetrius Andrade on no account, the one fighter he stood distant from for a decade that resulted in him not capturing the WBO titles within the middleweight.
In reality, Andrade was the one boogie man that prevented Canelo from turning into undisputed. That could be a truth! Andrade provided Canelo $40M to take the struggle for undisputed, and he determined to go up in opposition to previous prime Sergey Kovalev for $35M.
Canelo talks about “payday,” however he was about to earn more money with Andrade and for an undisputed championship at middleweight! Excuse, over excuse, over excuse will get you fired in an actual job!
Andrade has proven many times that opponents like Gennady Golovkin, Jermall Charlo, and Jaime Mungia need no elements with him. In reality, even the likes of Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Erislandy Lara had been provided fights in opposition to Andrade, they usually refused to take the fights in 2017.
Canelo is a part of this group of duckers and the one with Charlo and Golovkin that ducked him probably the most. The one fighter who virtually took the struggle was Billy Joe Saunders, however after testing optimistic for PEDs, he withdrew from the struggle after he got here again from suspension. The one backbone for Andrade was in opposition to Jermell Charlo again in 2013; he signed a struggle with Charlo, however Roc Nation provided him a greater deal at the moment, and he withdrew his contract for extra money. Nevertheless, he known as each Charlo’s ever since, and that doesn’t excuse the Charlos for not taking the struggle after 9 years! That’s ridiculous!
The boxing world praised a person that fought Avny Yildirim, Rocky Fielding, Alfredo Angulo, James Kirkland, Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders, and inactive Julio Cesar Chavez Jr over a boxer that had three world championships in two weight courses. Andrade has a greater document than all of the abovementioned, and informal followers nonetheless refuse to simply accept this as true. I do know of any boxer for the reason that days of the Black Murderers’ Row that was averted like Andrade; identify one!
In reality, all of the mainstream networks and the YTBC of their polling by no means point out Andrade as a doable struggle for Canelo. They choose on their polling Charlo and Golovkin that run distant from Andrade, then truly choose Andrade to struggle Canelo. Has the boxing world gone insane? I believed America was the land of the courageous and never the land of the duckers! We root for the underdog, and the boxing group has determined to willingly ignore a man who needs all of the smoke on the earth. The place are the true boxing followers at? Andrade would gladly settle for the struggle for a similar worth Yildirim took the struggle for!
Most of Canelo fights at all times contain controversial components like rehydration clauses, fighters off their prime, and selecting sure boxers over others. We settle for all these benefits as regular, and we crown the person one of the best pound for pound on the planet? “The Athletic” posted a narrative that headlined “WBC: Canelo Alvarez wasn’t ordered to struggle Avni Yildirim. He ‘requested’ it.” and but, individuals discover a technique to excuse him acquiring a free belt by combating Callum Smith, who truly by no means unified in opposition to David Benavidez to legitimately win the WBC title; Canelo is NOT undisputed till he settles it with Benavidez!
Canelo is a extremely technical boxer with nice head motion and energy. His technical talents appear to impress the boxing world, however he’s additionally criticized by many true boxing aficionados for his lack of taking dangers in opposition to sure boxers, he gained’t willingly identify. If he fights Andrade, he’ll lose the struggle. Caleb Plant confirmed what we already know, boxers with good legs and slick protection will make him doubt himself. Terence Crawford stated Andrade was him at middleweight. Max Kellerman and Andre Ward stated Canelo would battle in opposition to Andrade.
His energy bought him by the struggle in opposition to Plant, however somebody like Andrade will drive him nuts. Eddy Reynoso is aware of Andrade; that’s the reason he by no means took the struggle. In reality, individuals neglect the interview the place Reynoso stated again in 2016 that Andrade was very laborious to beat. Canelo will lose in opposition to Andrade, he is aware of it, and Reinoso is aware of it too. Andrade vs Canelo for subsequent yr, no excuses! Andrade will beat him!
