    To me even if an action has bad or even just selfish ambitions its than good ambitions leading to bad things

    Canelo had huge power at smaller weights His power at Super Middleweight is like a ghost of a dead person: used to be seen but now is not. seen.

    Why is my writing screen in black?
    Anyways, Crawford on the other hand , was never seen as a big hitter. I always thought this fight was 50/50.

    If you read his book he sort of admits without realizing it. I dont re,member the exact page but I read the entire book which was very enjoyable by the way but he did that.

    I’m also a big fan of Duran, there should be no excuses for the Hearns and Benitez losses, they were both bigger and prime when he fought them. Losing to a guy like Laing as well there should be no excuses.
    The Leonard rematch I won’t call it an excuse but it’s clear he wasn’t fit for that fight, I don’t like how his fans say he wasn’t fit for Benitez or Hearns when he was fine for those fights.

    Toney and Hopkins get a lot of revisionist excuse making for their poor performances at middleweight.

    Mike Tyson gets defined to a period of three years when he was whipping everybody and then the rest of his career gets glossed over.

    Canelo gets glazing to jelly-like levels by some of his more insane fanboys.
