    These are the facts and they are undisputed. He’s legitimately the face of boxing, a damn good fighter, stylistically entertaining, makes the best fights, it’s unreal the lengths people go to hate this dude.

    He wasn’t winning 5-2, you are beginning your argument from a point of pure fiction.

    Not everyone sees him with rose coloured glasses like you do. The majority of fan see him as a diva. one that has the commission , Vegas boxing officials all behind him to ensure he never loses there. Its a shame really because the guy can fight he is capable of doing it by himself without "help"
    but instead sold his soul to the devil knowing that all he has to do is be standing at the final bell & he will not lose

    I like Canelo even though he's got some gifted decisions before. The gifted decisions he got were close fights not one-sided beating fights. Canelo has offset them by beating big name fighters like Kovalev and BJS.

    They were close fights indeed but the thing is they would have been bigger gifts had the victories gone the other way. The cries of robbery would have been just as loud if not louder had Lara(who ran all day) and Trout (who was knocked down) been given the decisions.

    Part of the reason Canelo gets the decisions in close fights(you can insert corruption here) is cause he has an aesthetically pleasing style, coupled with the fact that he has a huge fan-base that will scream and holler everytime he connects a punch, which a lot of times will influence a lot of those watching, including judges.

    I can understand certain criticism of Canelo:

    - came to notoriety by beating completely shot versions of Cotto and Mosley.

    - Got Beat clearly by Mayweather but the judges scored it far to close.

    - Should of lost to GGG twice and Lara but had had biased scoring in his favour. Aswell wrongly being ahead on the cards against BJS. The judges scores being too wide in the Smith and Trout fights.

    - The ducking of GGG for that length of time.

    - Tainted meat excuse after being proven a drug cheat.


    That said Canelo has proven just how good he is by beating the two best SMWs in BJS and Smith. As well as stepping up to LHW to beat Kovalev.

    I can't see anyone but maybe Bivol and Beterbiev beating Canelo at present.

    Anyone can make allegations but you need some proof to back it up which you don't have. You are simply a hater. Canelo used his loss an egainst and example of Floyd Mayweather to improve further. No Boxing No Life is his philosophy like Mayweather's is Hard Work Dedication.

    You made allegations of corruption in favour of Canelo. I called you out on it to see what this is based on whether there is any substance to such wild claims. I don’t need to judge you as a person. I actually like you from your posts. You never descend into abuse and generally act with civility. I am merely saying your opinion expresses your bias against certain fighters like Canelo. By the way I am not a Chief. I have been offered the title many times but rejected it as I don’t believe I possess the necessary qualities for Chieftaincy.
