    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.
