    That might have been a smart comment, had you actually presented a case - but you didn't.

    You think it was close enough for a draw, it sounds so weak, like even you don’t believe it lol
    There you go

    Unfortunately that's the calling card of the losing team, when 90% of everyone saw 3G win :lol:

    GGG is a spring chicken compared to Bhops. Even Sam Soliman the oldest "contender" (tv show) was the oldest but the most conditioned of the bunch. With all the improvement s in science and medication, he can do it. I'm no doctor but I believe Lamont Peterson got busted with elevated levels of testosterone, what's wrong with being on the high end of normal? That's a question I can't answer either, I'm just speculating. Only a strength and conditioning specialist or nutritionist can answer that.

    It 'sounds' like it is meant to. That is, I really don't care about it as much as you and several others obviously do.

    Closely contested fights can go either way. I get how that might be difficult for an avid fan to accept, if it doesn't go their boy's way. But that's not my problem.

    Close contested fights 'can sometimes' go either way, is what you probably meant to say. Some fights are close w/ a clear victor.

    70% or something like had GGG wining, and a minority said draw Canelo guilty of drug use. That is the case and it's hard to argue against. You don't build a case, instead you make an augment against someone building it. Try arguing the facts sometimes. Those in the media or the punch stats all say GGG won it, and I nor you own their massive opinions.

    Well, if you want to go down the route of sheer semantics then sure. But, given I have made it abundantly apparent that I think the bout was contested closely enough to have gone either way, your point is fairly moot.

    Whitaker didn't beat Chavez either. Same thing.

    Again, you do not get a draw in Vegas with Canelo unless you’ve clearly won. G won by 4 rounds on most people’s scorecards, that makes sense with a draw that was given seeing it was Canelo

    Yeah, but look what GGG did to Lemieux, complete destruction, as appose to complete dominance.
