    Never mind PED`s te skill on show in this vid is some of the smartest stuff I`ve seen in a world title fight at middleweight, PED`S don`t help you do this stuff, why is Canelo so underrated at middle compared to Ray Leonard?!

    I feel Ray made more mistakes v Hagler that Canelo did here.

    It was a very good entertaining fight. I wouldn't say it was a barn burner or an incredibly skilled fight.

    The let down was Canelo tiring after round 4 and Golovkin fighting so one dimensional.

    most underrated? There was hardly anything special about the action involved. Sure, good technical skills were shown. But most underrated? ???????

    Performance enhancing. Clues in the title. Yes they do help. Otherwise why take them if they have no benefits?

    But to answer your post, no. It was a good fight, decent skill on display. Great? No.

    I'll forever remember it as the time the tranny & the ginger kid roped in a veterinarian as the cut man & paid Adelaide byrd to cook them a beef stew & dumplings

    I meant the technical side, a lot of people are saying GGG didn`t prove anything fighting a blown up light middle on some threads.

    I think PED`s just help your recovery while pumping iron so you can put on muscle quicker, so maybe it improve Canelo`s strength.

    I thought the fight underwhelmed to be honest. I only watched it 2 more times after the initial viewing.
    Canelo gassed after 4 rounds. And GGG kept letting Canelo escape to his right.

    Hopefully the next fight is better

    True, good fight indeed.
    Canelo too tired to take advantage of the one dimension.
    GGG too one dimensional to take advantage of a tired foe, it was kinda weird watching it go down like that.
