Anyone else think it looked too easy for Canelo?

Oh dear...someone is upset.

"Winning 5-2"...lol

Priceless.

 

Am I right in thinking the rumours was Spence was unlikely to accept 50/50, believing he is the "A-Side"?
(hate that phrase)

I question whether Spence is as big a draw for the casuals as he thinks he is.

For such a great fight, with two top tier guys, with everything on the line, is 50/50 so unreasonable?

I don't know, but to me, it sometimes has to be about more than just money...and, instead, is about legacy, striving for greatness, proving I'm the best etc...

Stuff that money can't buy.

 

True, legacy won't look after your family.

But, as a fighter, as someone who values other stuff besides money, you can be happy with 20 million instead of 25 and focus on leaving a legacy in the sport.

Who remembers Muhammad Ali for his bank balance?

It was his legacy, which transcended sport - and consequently he achieved immortality.

Making the Crawford fight should be the goal of a man committed to legacy, to leaving something behind in the story of boxing, and squabbling over money when you are multi millionaire tens times over is crass and immature.

Nobody is expecting him to take peanuts, but if the choices are 50/50, which might be (as an example) 10 million, or no fight and nothing, then 10 million is better...yes?

Of course, Spence may well move up - but boxing fans, the sport, people who want to see the best take on the best, won't forgive him if he doesn't make this fight happen.

Take the 50/50, cement your position as the best welterweight on earth by beating the only person in your league...and then move on to other stuff.

This is all just my opinion, obviously.

 

The sheer stupidity of your post leaves me aghast.

You use words like "objectivity" when you are completely incapable of a reasoned, objective, opinion.

It's embarrassing.

Seriously, you sound like a ****ing child.

 

So, even if he was...and what?

What does it prove?

After having his face rearranged and failing to stand for the 9th, what difference does it make?

My personal opinion, and it's just that so don't get so upset, is that Canelo barely broke a sweat in the first 7 rounds and could have overwhelmed Saunders whenever he felt like it.

Despite your delusions, I'm not a Canelo fan - I simply call it how I see it.

I don't fanboy any of the current crop of fighters...and certainly not like some sycophantic schoolgirl.

That's not what adults do.

I love the sport, and the action, and when I see someone outclassed i say it.

If that triggers you then that's very unfortunate...but tough.

 

Let's just agree to disagree.

My point was if the option is take the 20, because you can't have the 25, or refuse the fight, even though it's a legacy fight etc...then you take the 20.

That's all.

You won't convince me that some things are more important than money.

I boxed from a small boy, until I was 21, my uncle fought as amateur, I obsessed over this sport growing up, Rocky Marciano was my hero, believe me, I know how hard and unforgiving it is.

I'm really just talking about greed, and greed is greed is greed...regardless of who is being greedy.

Honestly, though, I just want to see Spence jnr vs Crawford.

For me, it's in my top 3 fights I most want to see.

AJ vs Fury is one, Tank vs Lopez is the other, and Spence vs Crawford is the third.
