    And I still have a weird feeling about the whole Kovalev fight honestly. I’ve seen low card up and comers fight people who obviously threw fights, but the Canelo Kovalev fight is the only one in my life that I’ve ever been this suspicious of. The whole thing including the fight itself just has a weird thing to it.

    But as I’ve mentioned before, there are at very least 7-8 fighters now who could do just as well as Canelo if they got all of the same backing, marketing, judging, weight advantage, PED use, cherry picking, etc. I’ve always said that Canelo is a good fighter. He is just manufactured. I still think that Crawford, Loma, Inoue, and Usyk are all ahead of him.

    In the whole best of best p4p cluster thing I'd agree with Crawford, Loma and Usyk very much being much more well rounded and versatile fighters. Belts and divisions can all be steered and geared for a guy with massive push. But you can just watch others and see that they have a deeper tool chest to work with, at least for me. A certain type of natural fluidity Canelo lacks.

    Let's not just talk about tool chests, an argument I certainly agree with. Let's bring up someone like Mikey Garcia. With the Spence fight alone, Mikey proves himself to be the complete polar opposite to someone like Canelo.

    F*ck calculated moves... f*ck picking off the weak zebra in the herd.... f*ck protecting that "0" like a girl protecting her virginity... f*ck seeking weight advantages and every other advantage known to man before getting in the ring.

    Just plain ol' "Bring It!" attitude and let the chips fall where they may.

    A bit different from Khan and Brook, who threw themselves in front of semis in foolhardy attempts to jump divisions Evel Knievel style.

    But a fighter..... not a poser.
