Is Canelo on a serious slide?

Kind of a double edged sword isn't it. A judge is supposed to have enough experience to measure all the factors that allow him/her to assess who's winning a fight. Of course, the longer a judge is around, the more the politics of boxing creeps into their heads and allows them to look for reasons to give points to a particular fighter who is uncharacteristically not having their way, based on what they have done in the sport rather than just in the fight.

I think they are "looked after" by the promoter, if they have been generous to their fighter they will be accepted for other fights.

canelo's record is aging nicely. callum winning at light heavyweight, caleb knocking out anthony & soon to be david b & liam knocking out chris jr

Canelo is very much winding down- to be clear I never thought that he was all that. When he was 20 and they compared him to Chavez at 20, that was laughable. But he worked hard and learned and improved as much as he was able. He turned pro at 15, he's had a bunch of fights. Now, he has a ton of money- and he has established ways to keep making a lot of money that don't involve boxing- he has a beautiful wife and a very easy life. One, maybe two fights and that is it.

Coming from you, who I consider to be an objective fellow most of the time... that resonates.

Personally, I don't think he's on a serious slide. Why? Because that would entail him having been "all that" to begin with.

"Serious slide" implies having reached great heights.

To me, it's mostly smoke and mirrors, so no... no "serious slide" IMO.

Anything can be manufactured nowadays... including boxing careers.

I would imagine a naturally skeptical person such as yourself would totally understand that idea.
