    Which is pretty much what I said.
    :lol:
    Like that was a remote possibility. A guy who's never been down in his entire career was worried about getting knocked on his a** by a guy who was about to be stopped with no power. That's funny.

    He wasn't using head movement, he wasn't trying to evade shots like he's done in the past. That equates to *gasp* taking some shots while fighting in a phone booth and still coming forward.

    Even if GGG stops him or whatever it’s still going to be a Canelo leftover nothing special and won’t change he’s weak resume

    Clenelo isn’t a puncher and his gas tank sucks

    Forst of all, it’s a farewell fight, so no, it’s not going to be earth shattering, but it is a top 10 super MW who is very well respected. Also, if he cleans Ryder out early, it makes Clenelo look bad. Have a good night, casual.

    If he cleans Ryder out early, he'd be finishing what Canelo started. Ryder took a lot of punishment against Canelo. He should be easy pickings for GGG after that beating.

    You must be dizzy 24/7 with all of the spinning you do.

    That was counter-spin, vargasfan was trying to spin a GGG early stoppage of Ryder as "making Canelo look bad" to which I said, no, that would just be finishing what Canelo started. This guy's clearly trying to play "damage control" for GGG. I'm simply returning him to reality.

    22 title defenses 20 by Ko isn't a week resume. Only true loss on his resume was a close one to Canelo at the age of 40. Has a record of 12-2-1 (10) kos against Ring magazine top 10 fighters.

    Ryder is trash, even an old GGG prob stops him imo. Embarrassing Canelo couldn't get him out of there.

    I wouldn't say his resume is weak, but it's weak relative to Canelo certainly. GGG didn't really have any quality wins during that MW run. His best wins were probably Jacobs or Derevyanchenko and many people thought he lost those. Granted those were when he was older but when he was in his prime he didn't beat anyone better than them. You would argue he beat Canelo, and I would remind you, he didn't. But even if he did get one of those decisions lets say, that would have been his best win by far. He's never really had a signature win. Some of that isn't his fault. The competition at Middleweight before Canelo came along wasn't that great. There wasn't another boogeyman in the division that he had to overcome. He was incredibly dominant during his reign, but lets face it, who did he beat that really was a big name or a big threat to him? I remember when he fought Dominic Wade they made a big deal out of that because Wade was undefeated, like this was GGG's first big test. Then Wade was just flattened and clearly didn't provide the test GGG needed.
