Definitely this is a weak smw era and also a great opportunity for Canelo to be the first smw mexican undisputed champion.

Even the Groves, DeGale and Badou Jack era was better than this.

Not really. Well, Smith even dealt with Groves handily.

Howerever, Ward-Froch-Kessler would definitely be a tougher era for Canelo. He would still try to unify. Ward and Froch fights would be bigger than any of current unifications.

Canelo vs Ward sounds intriguing.

To answer the OP, I'm not sure Canelo would move up to 168 with these boys around. Not saying he couldn't beat some/all of them, but I'd guess he'd stay below this weight class.

I don't think Alvarez would mind unifying with Froch and Kessler. I'm not sure whether he'd be too keen on fighting Ward. Maybe, because a win over Ward would be a legendary score for one's legacy. And if a dude is willing to fight Kovalev, Golovkin, and Mayweather; then he might be willing to fight Ward as well.

Maybe a semi-damaged goods version of Groves from the 2 wars with Froch. That was not a prime Groves.

apollo creed wrote: 22 Aug 2019, 11:05I'd like more to see Canelo fighting Callum Smith since Canelo has a semi title at 168 lbs.

apollo creed wrote: 09 Dec 2018, 08:06If Canelo wants to make a solid statement at 168, he should go for Callum Smith.
apollo creed wrote: 06 Oct 2018, 07:07Yeah it's a big gap in size advantage but gingerboy is very skilled and powerful. His chin is strong too. He'd get lots of credit if he faces Callum.

In terms of competitiveness I'd like to see Canelo vs Caleb.

End of thread! :salut:
Don't see anything wrong with Apollo's posts over time. Sorry EO.
EO can't understand that as a boxing fan I was trying to hype these fights. Smith & Plant are decent fights for Canelo but they are weak champions compared with S6 guys, RJJ, Calzaghe, even Badou Jack. :box:

I think the problem I have with some of your comments is that you often accuse fighters (like Canelo) of avoiding certain names, because “they’re too risky” or “they’re too scared”.

But whenever these “risky” names subsequently lose to the aforementioned fighter(s) you accused of being cowardly, you undermine those victories, by accusing the victor of cherry-picking an opponent that was never that good in the first place.

I’m not sure how else to describe your antics other than being a revisionist historian. This isn't an opinion, since you're responding to a post that almost exclusively contains quotes of your very own words!

For sure, the Ward, Froch & Kessler era was probably the greatest in the sports 168lbs history.

But I fear that even if Canelo defeated those guys at their respective primes, you’d still accuse him of cherry-picking hype jobs.

It’s just one of those things, because you just don’t like the guy, which undermines your credibility and objectivity.

You’re basically admitting to the world you’ll never praise certain fighters regardless their achievements in the sport of boxing… and that it’s your sole cause in life to always do your upmost to undermine their feats, regardless as to whether it results in you being hypocritical.

Look, you’re entitled to “like” or “dislike” whomever you damn well want, but if a fighter you previously praised and hyped-up loses, then you should really try to award kudos to the opponent that defeated them!
