    I'm with you on that regarding the hate for Alvarez (despise the word "haters"). I'm not enabling anything, you're being delusional and I'm adressing it.

    And let's face it most fans(at least here) are biased against Canelo therefore the big uproar every time a Canelo scorecard is read.

    Honestly, I thought GGG's prime was more or less over even before the first Canelo fight. There was no better MW fighter from 2011-2015, though.

    I thought he did enough to win the 2nd fight. That owes itself to the heroic effort he put in over the last 4 rounds. He's 40 now, he's not going to be able to repeat that performance. Not that the judges would ever award him a points win, anyhow, but I really don't think GGG could win a 12 round decision on merit at this stage (unless, the Bivol fight took more out of Canelo than I figure) anyway.

    GGG should just go hell for leather for 5 or 6 rounds in an effort to get the stoppage.

    Post-Mayweather Canelo has walked into any North American boxing ring with a minimum of 4 rounds already in his pocket.

    Which is to say that a 40 year-old GGG's chances of beating Canelo on the cards is every bit as good as a 30 year-old GGG's chances of beating Canelo on the cards.

    GGG probably only has 5 or 6 useful rounds in him and he shoud fight the fight accordingly.

    There just some guys where beating them by KO just isn't happening. Canelo in his prime is one of those guys. A slower and older GGG ain't that guy that is going KO him, I hope I'm wrong but it ain't happening.

    Sure he could that's the only chance he's really got of winning . If Ginger still stands at the final bell he gets the dec the world knows that The NSAC know the world knows that but they'll just do it again anyway

    He stood at the final bell against Bivol and he didn't get the decision so that whole idea just got shattered.

    Get outta here. He was teeing off on Bivol in rounds 1-4. Round 9 he outworked Dmitry.

    They screwed up ROFL They gave Ginger the first four rounds as they were ordered. but then in trying to make a schooling by Bivol look close they over did it or rather under did it LOL
