    So clearly that even people who haf Jacobs winning only had him by one point.

    Eh, Centeno was given a chance. His durability and defensive issues are why he came up short, not because he was slighted by the referee, judges, commission or promoters. Centeno himself was coming off a career best win with a KOTY type of performance against a hot fighter.

    Canelo will fight anyone the public demands. Its how he has handled his career up until now so no reason to think otherwise.

    "Hot" only because he exposed another "hot" (aka overrated as hell) commodity.

    Who could ever forget the public demanding, almost as one, that Canelo bin the WBC belt because they, the public, didn't want to see him fight GGG?

    Then the public demanded Canelo fight Liam Smith in preference to GGG, didn't they? And of course, the public also demanded Canleo fight Chavez Jnr in preference to GGG, didn't they?

    Yeah, there's nothing quite like bowing to public pressure and giving the public what they want, when they want it.

    The public wanted Canelo to fight:
    Mayweather- We got it
    Trout-We got it
    Lara-We got it
    Cotto-We got it
    JCCjr-We got it
    GGG- We got it

    In all honesty all the MWs in the top 5 records are a flawed..

    GGG smashed the Wades, Rubios, and Lemeiux but struggled with Jacobs and Canelo.. although I do rate his fights and Murray as good wins

    Canelo- who has he beaten at 160 again nondiscredit to his 154 and 155 record but we’re talking about MW..

    Jacobs- Really were life and death and even dropped by a career 154 in Sergio Mora just and outside of Quillin his career achievement is a close fight with GGG

    BJS- Outclassed Lemeiux and scraped by Lee but struggled mightily with 2 lower level fights before fighting Lemeiux..

    Charlo- IMO I think he’s the best of the bunch but his 160 resume is similar to GGGs before the Lemeiux fight

    Pretty much everyone is still a mystery at MW until they start fighting each other but instead we might have a scenario like heavyweight when Wlad was reigning where these guys will fight other fighters and wait their turn to fight the Champion

    He was a better opponent than Amir Khan and the husk of Cheeser Jr.

    Dchenko just fought 22-22-3 Dashon Johnson and nobody complained about that.

    Scoring knockout like he did against Aleem puts your stock way up so it wasn't really a cherry pick. Not a great win , but not a bad one either.

    Centeno is 26-1 against fairly decent opposition, and there are four titles. He's not an unworthy world title challenger.

    And let's be honest here, Khytrov had been the sparring partner for Jacobs for a few weeks before the Aleem match, who knows how much that took out of him. He may have been concussed going into the fight.

    Sebastian Fundora is 6'6. I think he should face AJ, what'd you think?

    Lol if anything the public were disappointed in Canelo for throwing away that belt and Canelo as dumb as he is actually appeared surprised by the flack he received.
