The point of the argument is not whether there is something wrong with being beaten by a great fighter.
The point of the argument is whether or not the fight was competitive.
It wasn't.
i gave canelo five rounds. canelo lost. it was a fight that he learned from & has improved
Lucky for us you don't judge fights for a living. Canelo was outpunched in every round. But judging is somewhat subjective, so obviously there will be differences in opinion.
Yes, he learned from it.
Yes, he has improved.
Doesn't change the fact he was shut out and humiliated.
None of the credible publications on Floyd's toughest fights come anywhere near including the Canelo fight as one of them.
one judge that gets paid for a living gave canelo an extra round than i did. i don't think canelo was humiliated. he lost more rounds to a great fighter & used it as a learning experience. quitting would be humiliating
Really? You gonna use CJ Ross as a measuring stick? Wow.
Nothing more need be said....
Except that your definition of humiliating and mine totally differ. To me it includes clamoring for a fight you should've never been given... and then falling flat on your face. One of my favorite fights ever.

you said it's lucky for us you don't judge fights for a living. i was just highlighting what a judge who is paid for a living handed in. our definitions of humiliating does differ. usually in boxing there has to be a winner & a loser. there is nothing wrong with losing to a great fighter. if you are made to quit in a fight that is humiliating to me
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
