There's a common thread here. Some say GGG wasted years of his career groveling after Ginger, and they may have a point. Crawford could've done so much more with his career. But here he is, literally cashing out against the Cash Cow.

The money part of boxing is obviously necessary. But to the point it has been taken by Ginger, it's been detrimental to boxing. Perfectly good fighters begin to think... "Why scratch and claw and toil against lesser-known opposition... when I can bloat up 20-30 pounds and get one last hurrah against Canelo?" It's an early retirement plan.

If Canelo had had the type of career that even a De La Hoya had.... fighting equally dangerous, EQUALLY SIZED fighters at their PEAK.... he could be forgiven the circus he has created. But he DIDN'T. A lot of Ginger's career was smoke and mirrors. Fighting smaller and/or over-the-hill guys... marinating fights that should've been done sooner... stacking the deck unlike any other fighter has ever done... and enjoying the protection of a Mafia-like boxing org which has blatantly and shamelessly given Canelo every advantage they could.

So here we are in the twilight of Ginger's career. Ready to ride off into the sunset after crowing over a victory against a guy from 3 weight divisions down. And his groupies will be riding off with him, carrying him on their shoulders.

I'd give anything for Crawford to pull off the upset. But again... no way he knocks Canelo out. And a decision win is about as likely as Trump saying there are people that know more than him.
