    He has fought many fighters with large and extreme fan bases: Floyd, Cotto, Golovkin, Khan I mean those are 4 of the most talked about fighters of the last decade and a half. It is a big factor. Never underestimate emotion.

    Also "anointed" fighters (if they go on to prove themselves or not) with the golden ticket will always be disliked by a big sum. And finally, when you're #1, well, see above about emotions.

    Give a currently active fighter his due??

    On this forum??!

    You've come to the wrong place sir.

    Everyone is either a cherry picker, a weight bully, a cheater, someone who gets gifts, in a weak division etc etc etc.

    Literally no ones resume is good.

    It almost makes me wonder why people on this forum was h boxing at all, they hate it so much.

    But he should have. Anybody in their right mind scored it for GGG in a close fight.

    You're the only one in this Canelo circle jerk of a thread that can see the bs for what it is. I'm not sure if all the con artists fights are fixed.. Kovalev & Yildrim I'm certain they were fixes. Callum Smith & to a lesser extent Jacobs are also very dodgy

    Looks like you found a conspiracy nut like yourself. Maybe you too can be best friends and have tinfoil hat alien conspiracy parties. :lol::love2:
