[Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu

[carlisle1]

Manny Pacquiao is the only 8th division worth champion, I guess Canelo is only 4 or 5 now? I think he cannot surpass the success of Pacquiao but his journey is still remarkable as he is the only fighter (correct me if I'm wrong) to try to dominate in heavyweight classes. Anyway, let's watch the result of his fight and judge his future afterward.

What do you mean by surpassing? Generally, Canelo's competition is much tougher but that is obvious because that is where he is capable of. Pacquiao on the other hand goes the same. If everything is just counting the winning titles per weight class, Canelo can start at a much lighter division when he started up. There's should be no room for comparison here. Look at Canelo, now in Cruiserweight where he is just supposed or keep staying in Light Heavyweight or Welterweight division.

No doubt about Alvarez's capabilities to dominate all that lower class if he starts from where Manny did..

What's Canelo's trying to do now is a great challenge to every fighter that has that goal to in writing their names with this sport.

If he wins this one and continues to fight from every division that he can move, he will retire his name with a legendary honor.

Still too early to conclude, he needs to be accomplished step by step..

This is his first step actually, so he needs to win here so the other champions will consider Canelo a huge threat. Maybe they are still complacent now because they believe they are stronger than Canelo who is going up in weight, but once Canelo proved that to them, I'm sure things would change.

On the other hand this is a very good thing for Canello to show himself in a new class, when talking about experience, in this class Canello may lose but on the other hand it doesn't apply in the ring because indeed when in the ring what matters is punch and strength . who stands to the end, who is strong he wins.
this is Canello's first step and he has to be serious in his training this time, because this is a new class and he still hasn't fought with boxers in this class before so knowledge about each other's opponents can't be known much apart from watching their previous match

Canelo is always serious with this training that's why he became an undisputed champion in a division where he reign for many years. Now, trying to push himself to the limit, he is going to a heavier weight class and judging by the betting odds, you can tell that the fans are still supporting him and believing that he can still dominate here.

Agree with that, because he won't become an undisputed champion if he is not seriously training in every game. I see him as a good example of a boxer, the discipline is there and he is very ambitious to achieve his goal, I mean he is trying to make history here and since he is still young, I expect him to achieve more success in the long run.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Ilunga Makabu is a good ifght to witness, but just like a regular fan, I'm going with Canelo who never fails to amazed me.

Canelo has a fighting spirit that always leads him to a victorious fight and that's why also he became the undisputed champion at the present time. Leveling up from his current division to CW will be going challenging for Canelo but for sure he and his team have been assessing and analyzing already if Canelo would be fit to level up his division. It is also undoubtedly that Canelo Vs. Makabu will be going to be one of the anticipated fights, it will going to be challenging for both fighters but like many of us here I am also going to be with Canelo.

I don't know if it is true, but I read that Canelo was surprised to see that his trainer Eddie Reynoso proposes this fight during the WBC convention. So it really didn't come from Canelo itself, but the idea was Reynoso from the beginning.

But Canelo is his student so maybe he can't complain what the teacher wanted from his student. But for sure he knows Canelo's ability and he knows that he can win this fight in CW.

Just inserting Eddie Hearn's opinion about Canelo's career jump on cruiserweight. Hearn is known to promote Canelo Alvarez, but their relationship is somewhat different, as far as I know there is no contract between them. It's that the Canelo chooses him at this point as his de-facto promoter.

“I personally think Canelo should look to become undisputed at 175. And I think he can do it. To be undisputed in two weight classes will be incredible, and I think that’s a move that will be very exciting.

“So whether you’re Dmitry Bivol or whether you’re Joe Smith and whether you’re Artur Beterbiev, you hope that Canelo Alvarez will give you that call to give you the opportunity to be in a mega-fight.”

As other's have been calling here, Canelo should stick to 175 lbs and become undisputed. And it will be history if he does become undisputed in 2 weight classes.

wherever he is always serious and ambitious in doing something and that is a positive point for him at this time.
for serious training is something he really must do at this time because indeed he is now in the spotlight because he managed to move up to a division that more than anyone else could imagine against him.
but of course we don't just look at Canelo even though he is a pretty good boxer, but also look at Makabu because he really won't be able to make Canelo swing smoothly at this time, especially since Makabu is one of the boxers who has a hard hit in my opinion. . Aside from this achievement is self-respect at stake

That's also my position regarding to Canelo's decision. He and his camp did a deeper assessment before they decided to level up,
they see the potential that Canelo can take this challenge and still have a better chance in winning another title from this division
though the opponent is much tougher and the level of trainings is far heavier than from his current but it will be a good challenged
and a great achievement once he fulfill this new chapter of his career.
