    :lol: You didn't even read what I said did you.... You are either a pathetic illiterate or a shameless liar if you think I actually said that about you. Get a book and practice reading child...

    You did. You said one could argue for a card to show Canelo winning against Floyd. You were all over the thread trying to convince people of that garbage

    As a big fan, he is being stupid. Reminds me of Winky Wright mismanaging the end of his career.

    Every fighter that took risks to get a high level eventually resorted to big money fights.

    Did Golovkin take any risks worth noting?.

    Clenelo is in denial or just senile to think he beat GGG twice

    Which big money fights even existed for Golovkin?

    Mayweather went up for big money fights, ex: ODLH, Canelo not some random beltholder.

    Floyd at 154 or Clenelo at 160

    MAYBE Ward at 168

    Ward couldn't sell fights in his own backyard.

    Golovkin did go to the UK for Eubank Jr.

    There is an actual reason you were let down. There is no such thing as “Mexican Style”. Yea, it looks cool for marketing, but as a real thing? Lol, no, not even close.

    well i didnt think i needed to explain the subtleties of the phrase in a boxing forum. its no secret it refers to an agressive come forward style of mixing it up in the trenches. something ggg built a career on, under a flag that read "mexican style". which he promised he would deliver in the second fight, given how the first fight went. but when it turned out that canelo also had that plan, and actually went out to fight mexican style, ggg changed his mind and proceeded to back up against that mexican style. became jab happy instead.

    I was never trying to argue that he won or that it was a draw. Floyd clearly won, however what I did point out was how close it was particularly in the first 6 rounds. I refuted the idea that Floyd dominated by pointing out which rounds were close. But even in the close rounds I still had Floyd winning enough of the close rounds to give him the victory.

    :lol: He promised... jesus dude... you are too old to be taking that kind of crap serious. Do you stop being a fan over every fighter who says they will win by KO and don't?
