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.
