creed Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sulaiman is planning to give Canelo a high ranking with the sanctioning body, once they establish his weight division. "He has the qualities to be highly ranked. He was the world champion. We must first confirm if he wants to be a super welterweight or a middleweight. Once we confirm that, he will be ranked and can challenge anyone," Sulaiman said "We wish him the best of luck, and believe that someday he will fight with Golovkin as he did with Mayweather, but it is not fair for people to attack him in that manner." -- What are your thoughts on Canelo ducking GGG and Sulaiman saying fans are attacking Canelo after he gave up his WBC belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Re: Canelo to be ranked high after he decides.. --- Fans have been attacking him ever since he came to the states as an 18 yr old. He's currently p4p ranked in Ring as well as being their middlewt champ and #1 p4p in boxrec, so he won't have to worry about rankings or fan attacks being some kind of new problem.

The_budweiser Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Re: Canelo to be ranked high after he decides.. I think Canelo has deserved a lot of the criticism that's came his way and now that he is avoiding a fight with GGG by giving up his belt then he deserves what comes his way. I'm glad Sulaiman is making his mark and giving Canelo an ultimatum, but, do you think he would of done this against Mayweather? Wasn't too long ago the WBC and WBA broke there own rules by allowing Mayweather to hold their titles in multiple weight classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Re: Canelo to be ranked high after he decides.. I wonder if they'll let him choose "super junior middleweight?" He's already the undisputed king of 155, might as well make it official. What boxing really, REALLY needs is more belts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrGooNer Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Re: Canelo to be ranked high after he decides.. Journo's and twitter experts are taking it out of context and making too much of a deal out of this. Seen articles with the headline 'Canelo dropped from WBC rankings' which is just pure click-bait as obviously when you read the articles they goes on to say they just can't rank him until he decides on his division.. I think he's earned the right to turn down GGG if he wants to given what he's done so far in his career. He's been a pro since he was young and has fought some of the best fighters around. Granted I don't know all the little details about his thinking but wasn't it the case that he actually only got involved in this middleweight/catchweight stuff because Cotto had the belt and was doing it first?

Yes and no - he had himself agreed to a catchweight vs Floyd, and much of his career was beating up guys from lower divisions, shot to bits names, or sometimes both. He has fought and even beaten some decent names, but he is supposed to be the middleweight champion. It's not unreasonable to demand that he fights the leading middleweight in the world.

LondonRingRules Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Re: Canelo to be ranked high after he decides.. --- It's also not unreasonable to consider he's playing off offers from TUE to challenge his ring belt at 155 or defending against golovkin at 158-160. Mum has been the word since he finished up his lawsuit as it should be in delicate or contentious negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
