Give credit to Canelo making it look easy against an undisputed champion

[@Brucelee89896]

Hello Stephen A, Jermell had all the advantages, larger reach, larger frame, way taller. They said canelo was washed and old, haters counted him out, they said charlo was to slick for canelo, they said charlo was to fast for canelo. Even when canelo went up and bivol was hitting him hard, he still went toe to toe instead of running scared. Canelo is never scared even when loosing.

[@joserios1068]

[@gabrielresendiz2096]

[@thecaffeinefiend]

Beautifully said! Amen 💯👏🏻 Now they are saying an OLD Terence Crawford can beat this prime CANELO. Exactly how? Crawford is even smaller/lighter than Charlo! CANELO could probably kill Crawford in the ring 😳😟💀

[@Jail512]

They said use your own judgment 😂 Have you ever see Mel look as good or slick as Saul. This was a money grab n nobody who know boxing thought Mel would win just didn’t think he would completely mail it in.

[@Ah-ws9nm]

Canelo was the favorite the entire time. Yall stop tryna give him more credit. We all know he was gon work Mell

[@chi-3377]

So its ok for Canelo to jump to 2 weights to fight Koalev, but another guy can't jump to fight Canelo? Why is that?

[@trevorbantleman916]

Because Saul is a true elite fighter , one of a kind.

[@trevorbantleman916]

Because Saul is special , very strong punches bounce off him , the best at 168 period ,Bud won’t be able to hurt him , but he can and will hurt Bud You can’t jump 3 weights against Saul and win ,so Bud forget it , dont let the money destroy your legacy .

Salute to the champ, king canelo

[@SluggerDucking]

Yup charlos over-rated

[@buukkreider544]

Now, if Canelo rejected Charlo - then he would have never heard the end of it. Canelo was actually going to fight Jermall Charlo who is the Middleweight champion at 160, but Jermall said he wasn't ready, and gave the assist to his brother. Now, many boxing experts picked Jermell over Canelo. Many boxers, especially Black boxers picked Jermell to beat Canelo. In recent fights, Canelo has not been fighting at the level pre-Bivol; therefore, this was a good risk worth the taking $$$$ - Both fighters have been criticised for this fight. It's funny how they were excited during the anticipation of this fight. When the fight took place, they suddenly found fault. People...

[@ananavarro2413]

"Come on ya'll, come on ya'll"...Charlo knew what he was getting himself into when he signed the contract to fight Canelo.

"Come on ya'll, come ya'll"...you can't do that to Canelo for beating up Charlo who weighed in the same weight, was taller and had a longer reach. Skills is what beat Charlo that night!

Just to let you know canelo is always on disadvantage when it comes to height and reach. Those really really matter in boxing as well. He never complains!

Yup. 168 is his weight. He doesn't need to come down or go up

[@purplesky4157]

While Benavidez may be a big test for Canelo due to his size and skills, if we see this version of Canelo, I don't think he loses to anyone below LHW. If he decides to move up to LHW again, it'll be interesting, but a rematch with Bivol is still his hardest fight, or facing Beterbiev of course.

Wilder wanted to get knocked out. He said it many times -- "I want to go out on my shield". Fury is a lot bigger and stronger than Wilder too...a lot more than 14 lbs. Fury might even be bigger than Wilder on a percentage basis vs the Canelo/Charlo weight difference. Gotta give it to Wilder -- he came to fight and wasn't scared to get KO'd and he can truly take pride in that bc that's far more impressive than what Charlo did. Charlo is not a lion, he just be lyin. Canelo, Crawford, Inoue, Wilder, Fury -- those are the real lions. Not the Charlos.

Stephen A. is right, Charlo did what he had to do and he fought well and understood the damage if he did too much. People got no respect whatsoever for charlo, show some love and respect for him for getting in the ring and withstanding til the end and endured.

British boxers i think had more balls then charlo..."Payday you want payday....i know it"...words of canelo....

[@MrJAE288]

Bad take .. Canelo jumped up two weightclasses to fight Kovalev.. or when Shane Mosley jumped up two weight classes to fight Oscar.. it’s been done before Stephen A!! You over here making excuses for a man who’s been calling out Canelo for like 3-4 year now .. respectfully.. GTFO!.. 😂

Stephen A tells it like it is ! Much respect my Brother

He didn’t let them hands go talk the talk but didn’t walk the walk

Charlo will have the same problem against Crawford, he's a counterpuncher but he can be patient to a fault with other counterpunchers. That's how Harrison snuck out a victory. But this is nonsense, if he didn't fight Charlo, he would've been "scared", he beats him, now he's too big. Benavidez fans need to keep the same energy when Canelo walks through him too.

This guy is a casual fan. Yes he watch some boxing but to say Charlo was the smaller fighter is crazy. Yes he fight at a lower weight class but he's bigger naturally. Charlo made a business decision he had no heart
