    Canelo should have been at 160lbs (or above) years before the GGG fights.

    Canelo has been cherrypicking his entire career. Its blatant, only the deranged fanboys can't see through it

    Thats not true. Golden Boy said he wasn’t ready and needed to grow into 160. Never mind that his very next fight was at 165 vs JCC Jr that was different. :argue:

    One thing i have noticed is fights like that stopped once he left Golden Boy. He hasn’t had one rehydration fight or drug somebody 2 divisions up since then so Oscar might have enabled a lot of that.

    While Amir Khan was nothing but a stay-active fight for Alvarez, Golovkin was lining up a Welterweight(Kell Brook) as his biggest fight to date. :lol:

    but that boy had something Floyd was scared of & letting a 187 pound Ginger mini hulk fight Khan was proof Floyd was right

    The hubris of Khan given that he is at the end of his career and we can actually look back and see that he was never the top level fighter that he claimed to be. He was always a precarious guy who stumbled and fell down the steps at the highest level.

    He should never mention Floyd or Manny in any of his "I could've been..." musings.

    Amir Khan was too high of a risk for Floyd. Young, prime, size, fast hands.

    Khan was a bigger name than Ortiz, Guerrero, Berto, and Maidana.

    And both were Gaymon sex puppets.

    Clear duck.
