I think you are looking at a how good is he argument. I’m with you in that I don’t think he’s that good. I’m still shocked by GGG II, I was very impressed by both.Yea it does matter, sure he fought these guys, but it's not like he was dominating (or even beating) them.Does that matter? This came up because people are writing out Canelo’s career as if he will only take on fodder. It’s a lie and it shouldn’t also be an echo chamber.Good post, Canelo has fought the better opposition overall, but how many of those top opponents did he beat convincingly? Trout, Lara, both GGG fights, the loss to Floyd etc.“ So you’re comparing a child with a 28 year old man and you think you are the one being fair? 😂“So you’re comparing a child with a 28 year old man and you think you are the one being fair? 😂Good old Ronnie baby, making the “stats” work in favour of his argument as usual. Now Canelo’s opponents will be better in the “28-32” bracket. But GGG had only been a pro for 4 years at 28.Some people are saying things that don’t make sense. Canelo absolutely isn’t going to DAZN as it is subscription, they don’t have the PPV platform. And PBC doesn’t have enough money? 1)that doesn’t matter because he will go to the largest PPV platform which PBC is already in bed with and 2)PBC has the largest actual boxing budget by far. For example 5 times that of DAZN for 2019
We all have our biases, but let’s take an objective look. GGG was considered a take all comers guy. At the same age GGG fought
Milton Nunez
Nilsson Julio Tapia
Kissim Ouma
Lajuan Simon
Makoto Fuchigami
Grzegorz Proska
Gabriel Rosado
Nobuhiro Ishida
From 28-32. There are obviously reasons behind that but let’s just keep it to who they fought/will fight. Does anyone really want to tie their name to saying Canelo will fight a list of opponents that weak?
People have good reason to hate Canelo but I can say with absolute confidence in the next 4 years Canelo will fight better opponents than that.
Now Canelo’s opponents after 4 years as a pro reads:
Antonio_Fitch
Euri Gonzales
Michel Rosales
Jefferson Gonçalo
Murat Khuzeev
Carlos Herrera
Lanardo Tyner
Doesn’t quite tell the same story does it ?
Okay, let’s put this a different way even though it is clearly slanted in your favor with GGG being at the end and Canelo just entering his prime. Who has fought better opposition in total?
uh, no, I wasn’t comparing anyone with anyone. I was merely showing how you can make stats work in your favour .
“ Okay, let’s put this a different way even though it is clearly slanted in your favor with GGG being at the end and Canelo just entering his prime. Who has fought better opposition in total?”
Canelo...... but it has to be said that nearly every single fight (bar Floyd) was on his terms. Shane when he was old, Matthew Hatton for a title and sooooooo many fighters that had to boil down to his desired catchweight , and fighting guys that are small at the weight and so on and so forth.
Look , Canelo shouldn’t have even be fighting cos he’s a drug cheat. GGG is a cock because he went from “wanting all the belts” to begging somebody for a fight who didn’t have a belt. He deserved what he got.
I couldn’t give a flying fuck for either of them anymore if I’m honest.
Canelo should be banned and GGG should retire.
Not saying you are participating in the echo chamber, just saying don’t let them trick you into participating in the echo chamber. If the narrative had truth to it it would be fine. But Canelo is 28 and has at least 5 fights against sure HOFers. He took on Trout when he didn’t have to, he took on Lara when he didn’t have to. I hated Caneloweight as much as anyone but people trying to rewrite his career as if he won’t take a challenge are being dishonest
Canelo's opposition has been very good, he's fought GGG twice already, nuff said. But he has had many advantages at times and been very well 'managed'.
I think we know each other well enough to know that neither of us will not be influenced and are able to form our own opinions.
I’m only talking about if he is willing to make tough fights. The evidence is indisputable that he is willing.
