    In your world I'm guessing that most boxers are D, E and F level fighters. Got it.

    I already explained why he's a C level fighter he will never win a title at MW. Quit trying to make him out to be something because GGG beat him. Monore Jr does nothing for anyone's resume.

    Here is my prediction for the fight BTW which CST will be able to confirm I sent to him via PM on the 5th of September. It was my honest opinion.

    'I think Canelo's speed, combination punching, and defensive slickness are going to cause GGG problems. I'm not just saying it after watching that program either. I'm a bit concerned at how GGG has looked physically going into this fight - this is the moment he's been waiting for his entire career and he looks soft around the mid section and he clearly blew up to more than he usually does.

    I am a little concerned that he might be slipping a bit too. Unlike most moron boxing fans I do take into consideration that GGG fought Brook and Jacobs in their backyards where everything was against him and that additional pressure affected his performances and likewise helped Brook and Jacobs to raise their games. But he is getting on in years and as you well know he an extremely extensive amateur career fighting with a very aggressive style. So it's very possible that he might be on the downward slope.

    Canelo has clearly been waiting for him to slip a bit too. Don't get me wrong I'm picking GGG to win but Canelo is a really talented fighter and I think he brings a lot to the table. I think it's going to be a really tough fight for both of them. I am curious to see how Canelo is able to deal with GGG's power though. If GGG is at his best I think he'll stop him mid to late.'

    I later amended my prediction in one of the 'official' prediction threads to GGG on points or late stoppage

    I disagree with that methodology, he's a contender who's only lost to top 5 fighters. I'm not overrating him - you're underrating him! C-level is AT least a level below him.

    Also. I've never claimed him to be a major boost to either's resume.

    Quit with this crazy ****. If you want to continue to think Monore Jr is a world beater then go ahead. I see him for what he is and see what GGG fans like you are trying to do to him. Overrate him! You're not fooling anyone here.:deal: Try that **** with someone else no one here ever talks about Monroe Jr except GGG fans, he's not good and has never gotten an ounce of hype except by GGG fans. What's next? Yall going to start talking up Dominic Wade and start overrated him?:risas3::risas3:

    For him those rankings have no meaning other than a pejorative use. He just cares about a handful of select fighters, everyone else is a bum or mediocre to him.

    Fringe contender at worst - contender at best. Quite simple. No one here is overrating him - you're definitely underrating him though. You need to work on fixing that one track mind of yours mate.

    Because he's used to facing elite guys who show movement. I pray to God that they make that fight and when Canelo beats the **** outta BJS you'll be full of excuses afterwards.

    You said:

    "not even worth talking about"
    "a non factor"
    someone that "anyone can look good against"
    "not a good fighter"

    You weren't able to point out ONE SINGLE BOXER that "looked great" against him.

    Good game. Thank you for playing.

    I think he was just overly tentative of Canelo's counters and too confident he could box with him.

    Actually I wouldn't... I'd give him credit for the win. What happened to you "being honest and admitting to being wrong?" the consensus had Golovkin beating Canelo, and you(quite coincidentally) were in the extreme minority who thought Canelo won along with the other notorious detractors.

    Canelo has NEVER decisively beaten that style - your claim of him winning by "destruction" is baseless. Let's be honest. You don't give a rats ****ing ass about Canelo, you prop him up solely on the fact that he's a Mayweather victim. "Oh PBF this - PBF that" Grow up crotch sniffer. You are likely in your 30s, time to stop being a TMT dick rider.

    GGG looked great against him.:deal: BJS beat him but he didn't look good but I never rated him anyway. I've only seen about 6 of his fights. How many Monroe Jr. Fights have you seen casual?
