    The amount of wars this guy has been in, and he's still fighting like that.

    Guy has crazy, crazy longevity. It's not just his age, but he's also been in tons of wars. I have no idea how this man is still going. Here I was expecting Vargas/Salido to be a pretty dominant KO for Vargas. Salido really surprised me here.

    I remember people saying he was done and that he was going to get KO'd by Mikey Garcia and Lomachenko. This guy is incredible.

    Salido has tested positive twice for PED's.

    So, ya know, there's that.

    When was the second time? I'm pretty sure he only has one positive. And the follow up test the next day after the Guerrero match he passed.

    Thick ass skull. It's what seperates men after their careers as far as their wits go. Ali, Bowe,Taylor didn't take more punishment than say Chuvalo,Duran, Salido. Some guys heads can absorb more without the same inflicting damage, maybe their neck isn't snapping back as hard.

    Or maybe it's the countless gym wars?

    They're all on something if you didn't know by now. The funny one is Mayweather literally getting caught masking his PED use, and his fanboys defending him like he isn't juiced to the gills for his fights.

    Nah, Canela was disowned long ago when he ran away from Mayweather's pity-pat jabs. It's really only Chicanos that like Canela. Canela lost a lot of real Mexican support after the Mayweather fight.

    He's a Mexi-Can not a Mexi-Can't. But seriously, he's going to have dementia.
