    Essentially his am career!? I think I've heard it all now. I asked you how a guy could have that many pro fights and still not pay his dues and your response is that you've somehow decided in your mind they weren't pro fights? Who in pro boxing right now has faced more contenders or champs than canelo??

    I never said I blamed it ALL on you, lol

    See how you jump from one extreme to the other without searching for a potential balance first? Yeah well people hate that, lol,

    What are you looking at? Floyd used the shoulder roll and had a longer reach so his jab could keep people off easier. But in terms of upper body movement, and slipping punches, I mean there are similarities but also differences. Both Floyd and Canelo make people miss but do it in different ways. Both are supremely skilled and defensively sound, but you have to give Canelo the advantage in the big punching category.

    You said I helped cause a portion of the hate. I wouldn't say I caused any of the hate. I would say I may have caused people who already vehemently hated him to hate him a little more, but didn't cause any of it.

    Good Lord this is hilarious. You simultaneously say Loma earned his title shot by winning a bunch of amateur fights but Canelo was privileged because he only had to fight 50 professionals on his way up. Utterly unbelievable.

    You don't get what that means obviously. His amateur career was very short. That meant he was doing OJT for most of his early bouts due to turning pro at age 15. Got it now? o_O

    So you above claimed I said you caused all the hate and NOW you have agreed with me I only said a portion, correct?

    So first of all, do you formally admit that you exaggerated that point or were you just going to deny it completely while moving onto claiming you never caused any of it?

    Let’s deal with the first issue before we move onto the second Shadow.

    I've got the fact that you suffer from a severe case of selective reasoning. Pro fights are pro fights and amateur fights are ametuer fights.

    Wow, Floyd training hard - it's one of the worst exuses I've ever heard. Floyd always trained EXTREMELY hard for every single fight of his pro career except of McGregor fight where his opponent wasn't even a boxer.

    And if Canelo was so drained in catchweight against Floyd why then he demanded his middleweight title fights to be held at 155 lbs years after that? He should have been interested in coming at 160 lbs then. So it's another one bullsh1t exuse

    The only decent excuse you brought here is that Canelo didn't have enough experience at the highest level. But then againt, Fernando Vargas was 2 years younger and had 26 fight less than Canelo did when he beat great and very experienced boxer Winky Wright

    Really?! That's what you got from my post? Shoot... it could raining on your head, and if it was raining, you'd call it **** FFS...

    Can you reasonably think through posts? Do you have that capability at all? Or do you just take the opposite stance depending on posters... :duh

    Lets go back to the original post :
    You said "it" (the hate) is because of me and IsaL.

    Provably wrong. Look at his physique vs Canelo vs his physique a year later vs Maidana. Night and day.

    Yes, then I clarified it was a portion correct?

    And then you claimed I said all, correct??

    I could of got it mixed up Shadow, could you go double check for us?
