As far as the two fights, I've already gone on record for giving Canelo credit for the Bivol fight. That doesn't change my opinion of him and the hype machinery that created him. But yeah... I'll give him credit.

GGG?

Please.

Golovkin didn't take advantage when he had the chance, and opted for leaving it up to the Las Vegas judges (whew... excuse me).

He obviously didn't get the memo that the only way you get a decision against Canelo in Vegas is if Canelo's out cold and can't be upright to get his hand raised.

GGG gave Canelo too much respect and, even though he actually won the first fight..... (see sentence above).

Now Golovkin's OLDER... Canelo's BIGGER... and of course I've always known that Ginger's got a pretty good chin.

So why the FUKK is this fight happening in the first place??!??

I know... to further Ginger's legacy by knocking out a decrepit old man.

GGG couldn't do it the first two times. What's the fukking point of them trying it again??



Now... after all is said and done... is Ginger ever going to face Beterbiev?

Or is that fight going to marinate until Artur is 40 years old?
I gave Canelo both fights, without issue.

I don’t get the controversy. It’s just idiots with the Mayweather effect, just hoping he loses.

GGG wasn’t good enough then and isn’t good enough now that he is older.

I am not like a “super” Canelo fan or anything either, but he won.

His only option is to go to LW (which he has done again) or CW, as there is literally no one to test him, short of somehow getting to the weight to fight Crawford.

Which he won’t do because it’s pointless and he destroys Crawford in a few rounds.

He really shows that level matter. He is just levels above everyone.

Beterbiev is not even worth mentioning because he is a scumbag from a scumbag country.

You thought Canelo won both GGG fights... fair enough. I would venture to say you're in the minority, if I were to base it on opinions you read and hear across the board. But such is the nature of boxing decisions.

Your comparison to the "Mayweather effect", as you call it, is (if I'm to be kind) puzzling to say the least. I never liked Floyd the person... and many times rooted against him. But in no way does his resume and Canelo's compare. Floyd went headlong into challenges, undefeated record be damned. Other than the Pacquiao fight, which took way too long to materialize, Floyd faced all comers. No weight draining... no diva clauses... no marinating. You can't say the judges were bought because most judges probably wanted him to lose also. Floyd was, for all intents and purposes, not a very likable guy.

But Floyd's list of opponents over the years reads like a Who's Who of boxing. Most were at or close to their peak. Floyd never jumped two divisions to grab a trinket from a woefully weak belt-holder simply for the trinket's sake. And this is all from a person who never liked Floyd.

So spare us the "Mayweather effect" comparison, please. It does not apply here. If you can't see how Mayweather's and Canelo's careers have been way different, I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Has Floyd regressed into a carnival act? Fighting bozos like McGregor and Logan Paul? Absolutely. An ATG of his caliber cannot stand being out of the spotlight. But that's neither here nor there. When he was actively fighting, he fought many of the best out there. There was never this preconceived, carefully put together strategy to preserve his precious "0". In fact, several times he came perilously close to losing it.

BTW... nothing wrong with being a "super" Canelo fan. Own up to it.
