    You say it's easy to spot, but then deny doing it yourself.

    Canelo v Benavidez is a big fight that should have happened by now.

    Is Canelo the overwhelming favorite to beat Benavidez? It seems more like a 50/50 matchup. Canelo haters want to see him dethroned and see Benavidez as the best chance of that happening.

    This is where you lose me, everything I've said has happened, or is happening. I could care less about how you choose to cop out honestly. And yes most Canelo fans agree that the fight should happen. But I understand the whats and why's of why it hasn't yet, so I'm not being impatient. The stupidest and I mean absolute stupidest thing about this is the longer the fight takes. The better chance David had of winning, not worse.

    And this is pretty much at the root of every poster that appears to need this fight to stave off death lol.

    He must still be having flashbacks to what happened to GGG at the hands of Canelo, you know, when the tears started rolling and then the excuses about age started pouring in. :lol:

    Pretty much, poor Genmady went from supposedly knocking a 154 lbers chin into orbit to being old and past it because he didn't fight him immediately. Definitely was alluding to this suffering point in my post.

    It’s obvious Canelo won’t fight him because he fears him. Bad style matchup for Canelo and he knows it.

    But this is where you lose me because you make these implications about others being emotional fan boys, but then try to stress how you're not like that.

    It's all projection.

    Find a post where I'm fanboying out slandering a fighter like you guys do, or 1 better overreacting to a single win like you all do here. The guys I like to watch fight don't HAVE to be the goat or I feel disrespected like some of us. I've been a boxing fan long enough to know what's happening when I see it and also have my views on what's happening and why but, emotional? Nah, I actually enjoy boxing, and maybe a bit more calling out hypocritical takes on a message board.

    Well right here you come across as quite emotional. Especially the way you say "you guys do" it seems like you are emotionally invested.

    How you choose to perceive what you don't agree with isn't really my problem, talk about projecting. I couldn't imagine being emotional over a message board, it's entertaining tbh. And I suppose after reading so many fan arguments over the years you can see the types and what people will say before they even type it at times. But don't let me get in the way of your fun lol.

    The guy is right absolutely right. Canelo is the new Floyd. The Vegas cash cow Between them they've made boxing the new WWE Its Sports ENTERTAINMENT now & not a legitimate combat sport any more.
