    Yeah but the difference is Floyd lived in Vegas and had a far more personable relationship than Bob Bennett and the NSAC than Canelo. Canelo doesn't live in Vegas and doesn't collude behind the scenes to give himself preferential treatment like Floyd did. Now you might still argue that Canelo gets A-side treatment, but he's not going out of his way to stack the deck and manipulate the system like Floyd did.

    Case in point, Floyd was let off the hook for the IV scandal, was never punished for that, while Canelo was suspended for trace amounts of clen. Floyd had the NSAC in his pocket, Canelo just happens to be the cash cow. And before you argue over this, just compare the two personalities and their character. Ask yourself who is more secure within himself, Canelo or Floyd. You know damn well Floyd is far more manipulative, conniving and careful when it came to choosing opponents than Canelo is. Floyd clearly ducked Pacquiao for 6 years, avoiding him in his prime waiting until he got KO'd by Marquez to consider fighting him. Now you could say Canelo waited a year or 2 to fight GGG. But it's different. They weren't at the same weight like Mayweather and Pacquiao, and clearly with Canelo it was his team, mainly DLH, who advised him to let that marinate. With Floyd Pacquiao, it was clearly Floyd himself who ducked Pac, he flat out accused Pac of being on PEDs, etc. Canelo didn't behave like that.

    Floyd was far more risk adverse than Canelo, he was far deeper in bed with the NSAC, got far more preferential treatment from them than Canelo. You know it's true. Canelo has a far better personality, attitude, a more entertaining fight style, he's not about making the most $$ like Floyd was, he's about legacy. Floyd was all about conning the fans and ripping people off, then flaunting his $$. Canelo doesn't flaunt his $$ like Floyd, he's a very humble guy. He's far more likeable and a better ambassador for boxing than Floyd was. But I will say Floyd earlier in his career before he let $$ get to his head was different and was more likeable guy. But Floyd got corrupted by the system, he cared more about $$ than doing what is best for the sport. Canelo cares more about the fans and he's willing to take the risks that Floyd never took.

    Thank you, you just proved my point. And of course I'm not the one creating the angles, we are limited by the angles that exist on the telecasts. It's not my fault that we get bad angles sometimes, but in most situations, we can tell what lands and what doesn't from screenshots, and the fact is that you completely ignore them no matter how good or bad the angles are and you pretend like you can't see anything from them like you're a blind man lmao. You're a funny guy Q, as much as we disagree and go back and forth, I do find you entertaining.

    You don't have to live in Vegas to get the 'Vegas A-Side treatment'. You just have to make enough money IN Vegas and FOR Vegas and obviously for your promoters. There is so much money behind the Clenelo hype train that a loss would cost them big time. EVERYONE who is involved in the business.

    It's weird how the Russian mafia haven't been able to figure out a way to take advantage of these corrupt Canelo judges in Las Vegas.

    If this happens Eastern European fighters should get together and launch a formal lawsuit against the whole boxing industry for racial discrimination and I’m being dead serious
    If protected African American fighters can have frivolous lawsuits complaining about being unfairly treated because of race it’s about time the real victims of discrimination in boxing do so

    Man its taken you guys ages to finally see the light. Its been obvious to me since Floyd's escapades Why you guys pay to see these blatant con jobs defeats me. You pay to watch it, then complain that you were robbed. I'd rather do ,like I often do, go to a little house show where that fighters heads are full of dreams.
    Two guys evenly matched give of their best & hopefully the better man wins.I used to love being on the ring apron watching the action . I certainly wouldn't recommend any young guy turns pro without a good team behind him to look after him. The wolves would eat them up

    Ive known Steve Weisfeld quite some time have sat beside him & peeked at his scorecard many times & he always seemed a good judge but lately he's given a few shady ones in. I guess its true what the saying says
    Every man has his price !!

    His biggest thing is clean punching. Not sure what fight cards you are refering to so i can't comment. I hope this fight is judged fairly either way. I rooting Bivol on this one.

    You only have to look at the answer Bob Bennett the boss man of the NSAC allegedly gave to one of our forum colleagues when he asked him if he was going to investigate Adelaide Byrd's ludicrous 118-110 card. He just laughed & said "Adelaide is one of my best judges she just had a bad night. Theres nothing to investigate" Now Bob is a former high ranking FBI officer I believe. kinda scarey isnt it
