Canelo v Fielding

I'm sure I'm the only one, but if you're 6'3'', good reach and decent power, you should be troubling the ginger drug cheat cunt. While the boxing world refers to Rocky as brave, I think he massively bottled it mentally.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

If you don't think that incident went a good way to fucking his career, as well as the way he lives his life outside of camp, then fair enough.

When you look at what Hearn has done for most of his committed fighters, you're an idiot to think he wouldn't have done the same for Brook.

And furthermore, you're saying he didn't want to take him to America, yet that's exactly what he done for the Porter fight, who at the time everyone was calling the Welterweight Mike Tyson. Soon as he won that, he nearly got his leg amputated whilst out mangled in Tenerife.

Still, we live in a world now where personal responsibility doesn't exist, so maybe you're right.

18 months after his injury, having been back in the ring twice - "what do you Reckon Eddeh, get me over to America?" "Don't worry about that son, I've got the third best Canadian welterweight on the line"

Brook awoke in Candelaria Hospital in Santa Cruz after a 45-minute ambulance journey and two hours of surgery to deal with a deep slice wound to his left thigh. The blade cut two muscles and the damage needed 32 staples to repair.



"For fuck sake man, shake it off, Keith Thurman is looking for an opponent."

Re: Canelo v Fielding

I don't doubt it was a bad injury. But the injury wasn't the reason he was boxing those idiots.

It's not like he had one warm up fight after coming back - we're talking a 2 year period in the peak of his career wasted.

And in terms of opponents, take your pick from Thurman, Garcia, Mathysse, Peterson, at the time he could have even gone for Algieri or Alexander. Any of them would be better than the shite he was going up against.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Wasn't held back?

He could have died, nearly lost his leg, and early indications were he was never going to box again.

So in your opinion, after a year out after all of that, who should he have boxed?

Haywards Iron 12:09 Mon Dec 17
Re: Canelo v Fielding

He wasn't being held back by his injuries when he was boxing Dan, Bizier and Gavin.

Even now when he has shown some promise at light middle, all Hearn wants to talk about is the Khan fight, which will inevitably be back down at Welter. Light middle is shit hot right now, why not actually test him against the Charlos, Hurd, Lara, Munguia?

He's not going to win all of those fights, but he's wasted so many years of his career fighting no hopers we haven't really seen the best of him.

You may well say that he should be pushing for those fights himself, but I think he could have/should have had a decent career if he'd gone to America like Khan did years ago.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

I don't agree at all.

Brook is one of the most talented British fighters there has been imo. When you have that sort of talent, if you are determined and relentless in your pursuit to be the best, it will happen.

He won the World title, and got himself served up with a machete. If he hadn't, how do you know he wouldn't have been in massive fights at his weight?

No one to blame but himself.

Haywards Iron 11:54 Mon Dec 17
Re: Canelo v Fielding

Eerie - he doesn't live the life, and there a lot of odd tales about his time in Tenerife, granted.

But since the Porter fight his career has been a massive, massive waste, and all just because Hearn didn't want to box him in the US. He's fucked now because he was chucked in with Golovkin and Spence in quick succession after fighting bin men, not because he was running around the Canary Islands.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Lobbing gear up your nose outside of prep and competition isn't the same thing. Plus to my admittedly limited knowledge of performance-enhancing drugs, Coke isn't one.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Drug cheat, he had traces of clenbuterol in his system.

Not exactly test, tren and growth is it.

Nothing more than a fat burner that would have made his body temperature hotter and gave him the jitters

Yet Tyson Fury is a hero because he admits brassing, boozing and shovelling out of his nut.

The double standards and ignorance never fail to astound me.

Are you on drugs?

Kell Brook fucked his own career up. After winning the World title, he went to Tenerife to tear the arse out of it, and would up getting himself done over with a machete. It nearly ended his career.

He is known in the game for not living the life.

Streams for me, though Warren's card has some interesting fights, not least the main event.

Whyte v Chisora is not a headline fight.

Warrington v Frampton looks better, but I don’t think I’ll spend a score on it.

Chisora v Whyte fight on Sky £19:95. Do fuck off.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Dicko, fair enough mate, but I think Rocky had more than he offered. I also thought it was daft attempting to go toe-to-toe. Exciting to watch but was only going to go drug cheats way. For me he should have boxed more, cliched and held to frustrate and tire Canelo and used the power being a bigger man brings, but he played Canelo's game and got fucked.

Likewise btw, glad he earned a few quid.

Haywards Iron 7:39 Sun Dec 16
Re: Canelo v Fielding

Golden - the management of Brooks career by that wanker Hearn has been an absolute disgrace.

There were so many fights that could have been made after he beat Shaun Porter, but because he didn't want him to fight in the US they weren't made. Hearn then has him fucking around fighting Jo Jo Dan, Kevin Bizier and Frankie Gavin, then chucks him in against Golovkin two weights up, then drags him back down two weights to get battered by Erroll Spence?

Massive waste of talent. Brook's clearly got nothing left now and will continue to embarrass himself begging for the Khan fight, which, if it does come, is 6-7 years too late.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Bigot, that’s a bullshit post. They could fight 100 times and it would never go beyond 3. Fair play to Fielding for taking it and good to see a European level fighter earning some decent money.

I can still never fathom out that bout - probably a bigger mis-match than Mayweather v McGregor

Haywards Iron 6:58 Sun Dec 16
Re: Canelo v Fielding

There are going to be many, many more Brits up for the slaughter in the US now that Hearn is involved with DAZN. Expect Tommy Coyle vs Tevin Farmer next.

Fucking pointless, to say the least.

Pub Bigot 2:32 Sun Dec 16
Re: Canelo v Fielding

I'd expect Smith to trouble Canelo significantly more than Fielding.

Canelo is a drug cheat and I want someone to blow his away, preferably British.

Re: Canelo v Fielding

Fast car Eddie implementing his same employee protection program that he used for Kell Brook when he threw him to GGG then to further enhance his prospects slung him in with Errol Spence Jnr immediately after to finish him off for good
