    I said green against elite level fighters.

    It’s not hard to become a world champ in the modern era is it?

    Look how Canelo acquired the belts.

    One of Floyd's peak performances - he was in the pocket all night, making Canelo miss, and scoring at will.

    I had it a shutout.

    Exactly, Floyd as strange as it is, was still at his best for that fight.

    The main reason people don't like Canelo is because he gets decisions he don't deserve.

    That’s not true. He does what the judges award (clean punching and aggression). Zero gifts to date unless closer than reality cards against Mayweather count.

    Zero gifts?

    How many think that GGG won their first fight?

    A bunch of fanboys in General. Not the judges.

    Keep telling yourself that. I give him credit though, his shots are pretty, explosive, and snappy. He's 1-2 vs GGG in my book though. Kudos for his efforts. Two legendary fighters and historic fights.

    So all the ringside media that overwhelmingly had GGG winning both fights are all fan boys? Yeah, ok.

    The judges know where the money comes from. If you want to get the Canelo money in future fights it behooves you to look favorably on Canelo while judging his fights. The proof is in the pudding.

    There's a reason LARGE majority of 23 year old prospects dont fight ATG PFP champs. Its because they arent ready and its honestly not complicated
