Canelo v Ryder 6/5/23

[TitoFan]

Let's do a quick recap on Ginger's last 15 opponents (including Ryder), covering the last 7 years... shall we?



Khan (2016) - Nothing more need be said. The glass-chinned toy poodle dancing around the mastiff until he got in range.

Liam Smith (2016) - The first in a parade of British pushovers that have contributed as much to Ginger's (cough)... "legacy" as any group.

JCC Jr. (2017) - Prior to that he couldn't go up to 160 to challenge a peak Golovkin... but he somehow saw fit to jump to 164 to fight The Mummy in what was basically a circus match.

Golovkin x2 (2017, 2018 ) - After enough (cough)... "marinating", Ginger finally yielded to public pressure and had his 1st two fights vs GGG. Robbed of a victory in the 1st... could've lost the 2nd one also.

Fielding (2018 ) - Do I really have to discuss this one? One of Ginger's most blatant "cherry picks"... jumping to the next weight to pick off his 2nd British victim... lame duck Fielding... for a shiny new trinket.

Jacobs (2019) - ATTENTION GINGER GROUPIES: This is where your "hater" cries go down in flames. Full credit to Ginger on this one. No size advantage... no robbery... legitimate victory. Like finding a rare jewel in the mud.

Kovalev (2019) - "Groupies' Finest Hour." Unfortunately... the rest of us saw a shell of the previous bully, who had been previously unmasked and exposed by that most fearsome of punchers... Andre Ward. Kov's most shameful performance EVER.

Callum Smith (2020) - 3rd British victim. And the second fighter in a row (see: Kov) to PERPLEXINGLY become a timid deer in headlights... happy to survive and hand Ginger a victory. Size advantage be damned.

Yildirim (2021) - Can we just skip over this one?

Saunders (2021) - FINALLY! A British opponent for Ginger exhibiting cojones. He had a chance... until Ginger mustered up enough power to break his eye socket with one punch. Must've had a 2nd helping of Mexican beef before the fight.

Plant (2021) - Man... Caleb did all he could. But he was outgunned, outsized, out-everything from the very beginning. He had lost the fight when he signed the contract.

Ahhhhh... Bivol (2022) - Finally Ginger and his LBT (Legacy Building Team) slipped up and got careless. They figured Bivol was the lesser of two evils at 175. And buoyed by the Kovalev sham... er... success years earlier... decided to go for it. No diva clauses... no rehydration limits. Even after a THOROUGH BEATING at the hands of Bivol... Ginger almost got HIS judges to give him the decision. Those judges are probably STILL crying to this day.

Golovkin (2022) - What better than to go back to the tried and true? A 40-year old man... totally BOUGHT judges... size advantage (GGG stupidly went up to 168 for the first time ever). This was a DONE DEAL.

Ryder (2023) - Gee... I wonder who's going to win?



Let the counterarguments begin.
