    He didn't get robbed you need to learn the definition of a robbery. Pea Whitaker got robbed against JCC a close fight does not equal robbery it's simply a close fight. Stop throwing around the word robbery because you didn't agree with the decision in a close fight and your favorite fighter lost.

    Just because it was somewhat competitive doesnt mean the winner should lose. A robbery is a robbery if the wrong man wins, period. Nobody should be getting screwed over just to protect their Cash cow. Corruption, robbery.

    Strum old as ****
    Martinez old and **** was looking to cash out
    Cotto never a real MW
    BJS good fighter but I don't really know the full situation here so I'll take your word for it.

    Why not just move up to 168 where you can get better fights with guys like Froch Ward Groves and Degale back then? They all would have fought him and would have been the best fighter he's ever fought. Much better than taking step aside money and piling up mando defenses against no-hopers.

    Maybe Canelo was awarded more close rounds in a fight with a lot of close rounds because he imposed his will on GGG and pushed him backwards all night for the first time in his career...or conspiracy.

    GGG promised a big drama show and Mexican style yet he ran more in the rematch against Canelo than PBF did when he fought Canelo. LMFAO!

    I know. It denied us an all-time classic. Instead, we got a good fight with a lot of bitching afterwards.

    CHB is actually way more mellow about the result than here.

    The last time Mayweather went toe to toe with anybody decent was in 1999 against Genaro Hernandez. And even then DLH finished him off way easier and with more destruction.

    He didnt even go mano a mano with Robert Guerrero.

    He did with Gatti Jesus Chavez Ndou Cotto and with Canelo for the most part and with Maidana just to name a few. With that said why always fight the other man's fight when you're the superior boxer?

    Because at 36 hes no longer a pressure fighter. Hes too old for that style especially against a top fighter like Canelo.

    Will Jarret Hurd still be going straight at people when he's 36? Hell no hes going to be shot to pieces. GGG has had to evolve his style.

    You never watched any Hopkins fights. Holmes and Pavlik were bigger than Jacobs and Hop shut them both out.

    Golovkin had no business calling out Cotto , its pathetic to gloat about GGG not getting a fight with old shot Cotto and only serves to highlight how hideously weak his own division was.

    Hurd is going to lose sooner than later because he's already stepping up his level of comp and he's only 27. His win over Lara is already better than any win GGG ever had. Hurd will lose to little Charlo when they fight not because his style but because he's just not as good.

    Ok yea losses happen when you step up. But my point is that Hurd when hes 36 like GGG will no longer be able to pressure everybody non stop.

    nobody is pressuring non stop at 36.

    Again nobody is saying Wade was good, it's just a common line in thought that anti Golovkin weirdos (like you) use. Wade was a mandatory.....nobody said he was a good opponent.....it's not a Brussels/Khan type selected opponent.

    ward last fought at 175...maybe that had something to do with it
