    He derailed Golovkins career by cheating him.

    Canelo needs to check his privilege

    CA isn't the first boxer to get preferential treatment. CA is the biggest cash cow in the sport and when you're the cash cow, things go in your favor. SRL was more popular in his day than Alvarez and he got the benefit of the doubt a few times.

    Like getting a draw in the rematch with Hearns. Not just one judge having it a draw, a literal draw.

    Exactly. You said it. SRL vs. Hagler is debatable but SRL vs. Hearns 2 was highway robbery.

    Rehydration clauses, catchweights, controversial hand wraps - the list goes on and on. It's boxing's equivalent of Jon Jones, a man I really can't understand how anyone likes despite him being obviously talented.

    Thats just lame. All fighters should have some arrogance. Im more concerned with PEDs and controversial judging.

    Basically fanboys will hate. In these forums, it tends to be fanboys of EE fighters. Canelo is the cash cow of boxing so he's more popular than anybody right now (outside of this forum).

    Cherry picking? No fricking way. People must be joking. I can't think of another fighter in recent that has tested himself against all the supposed monsters with no catchweights!

    Controversial wins in the eyes of haters. YES. In close fights, fanboys diminish the closeness of the fight.
    PED tests? Sure. Isn't everyone cheating though?
    Arrogance? I can think of worse, PBF, Wilder, Fury ...

    Who is the source?
    Are they credible?
    How many people at the gym are witnesses that stepped forward to confirm this?

    For all we know this can be like the Russian Hoax or the Ukrainian Trump phone call.

    They denied it of course. So who knows. But it is odd to say the least.

    There's a few other controversies thrown in for good measure at the bottom of the article.

    Here's a few others.

    He won't comment on that like he won't comment on anyone asking him about why Team Canelo lied to the public about having a rehydration clause in place.

    Arguing about things murkier like scoring and drugs testing and he's all up for that discussion.
