He fought PBF because anyone in boxing would fight PBF regardless of weight class. Lara was the only fight that he took that was a dangerous fight and he had a real threat of losing even then it was Lara who called Canelo out and tried to humiliate him and he got the fight. Even still he wasn't going to lose a decision to him with him being the draw there was no fear of a KO loss to Lara. Trout wasn't going to beat him and neither were Angulo and Kirkland who were tailormade for him. GGG is a real threat and is high risjk low reward because he has the ability to KO Canleo and outbox him as well. Him being the house fighter won't be able to save him if he gets in deep.
While Mayweather is dancing around the ring with blown up SFWs, Canelo is fighting the top fighters. Imagine what Angulo, Lara, Kirkland would do to Cotto, Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana.... shiiiiet!
PBF is a ATG the best fighter of this era he has nothing left to prove. He also gave Canelo a boxing lesson.:yep I'm not a Canelo hater BTW and think he's great for the sport.
You admitted weeks ago that he was indeed the best fighter of this era. Do you want me to bump that post to embarrass you?:hi:
I think Pacquiao was the best fighter of the 2000s, the same way that Roy Jones was the best of the 90s. Mayweather and Hopkins just have better longevity.
Cotto hopping around on his toes like he was in his last few fights is not maintainable for 12 rounds and he will need to be able to do that in order to survive getting knocked out. Canelo will corner him late and bang him outta there. Easy fight to predict.
