What Does it take for a Ginge to Gain Respect?

[Primo Carnera]

The story of how Daniel Jacobs is a washed up fighter.

Or how Jacobs will be weight drained because of some half pound agreement like Chavez Jr.

Coming to a Boxing discussion forum near you.

In answer to the original question , Die his Hair!!

Kill the catchweights, abide by rehydration stipulations, try to be as transparent as possible with the drug testing and finally keep his and Oscar's mouth shut.

Boxing fans tend to have long memories when it comes to things there not so favorite fighters have done. I think Canelo is talented and i give him credit for trying to pick up techniques and different training to try and get better as he progresses through his career. That being said, there's a boundary that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to be PED's.

He claimed it was unintentional and each person will make up their mind as to whether he's telling the truth or not. The problem for many people is. The Golovkin thing dragged on way longer than it should have. The first fight took forever to make (first he hid in his own 155lb weight class, then he wanted a bunch of warm up fights first, while telling people he' doesn't f*ck around, then stalled some more) Concessions, low balling, etc resulted in him looking for an edge every way possible. Then fight night finally arrives and golovkin gets jobbed, a judge gets embarrassed and all the nickel and diming didn't fool anyone. Canelo openly states that he won the fight, fishnets too. Rematch in the works and Canelo gets popped for Clen... It wasn't meeee, he says.. it came from the meat .. it must have.. despite both his trainers being butchers. Still here come the stipulations on money, and custom gloves etc. Its tainted Canelos career because all the questionable decisions and risk shaving he's done with the catchweights etc have now come back into play and established a pattern of behavior that makes him a guy desperate for an edge and buying wins. Fruitless in the first match and to some, in the second as well as Golovkin still bested him in some peoples eyes.

So now people are just looking for him to cheat. Which is a shame because he has more to offer the game if he stays humble. His slimeball promoter has other designs and looks to follow the Mayweather routine to a tee by being brash and talk smack for him.

He’ll never have my complete respect because of the cheating but we did spend years waiting on a champ like him that will take the hard fights like Jacobs. So he deserves respect for that. The last champ owed Jacobs a rematch but never gave it. Owed other fights and didn’t give. And I have confidence this champ will give GGG his deserved 3rd attempt. So he is better than the last champ in that regard, if not a better fighter. And what should we all want from a champ, making the right fights. We’re finally getting that so we should be happy. Shame it comes with all the baggage.

[KickMuck]

I still don't understand why people are mentioning PEDs. Surely the second fight with GGG proves that as for any enhancement in the first fight was pretty much non existent in terms of performance vs the second fight.

In other words he performs better when not on PEDs lol.

Tainted meat my ass. It wouldn't do shit to eat a bit of meat with traces of anabolic in it. You would have to directly Inject a full dose of pure clenbuterol into your eyeball to see any bodily enhancements.

Look how much better he fought against GGG in the rematch. Regardless of your bias on who won the fight.

The guy has an Iron chin and great skills which has got him to where he is now.

Danny Jacobs will get KO'd

I think Canelo is also enrolled in year round VADA testing. That's a plus.

He failed the test, so he'll always have that hanging over him. But he is doing everything possible now to show he is clean.

Imagine actually falling for Clenelos tainted meat excuse lmao

Imagine actually falling for Clenelos tainted meat excuse lmao

I would base my training in Mexico, it's a built in excuse if you get caught.
