I promise you, his fans don't feel a damn thing. You have experience these idiots, they don't have the brain cells to analyze jack. The only thing they can see is his highlight videos devouring bums on YouTube. That's all they see when they discuss this farce. If it wasn't for Alvarez donating a free payday to this farce, he would be beyond irrelevant now. Watch out though, they found a new safe haven in Usyk. I already ran into a Golovkin fan who's rating Usyk #1 at Heavyweight alongside Fury for accomplishing nothing.
Wilder fought an ATG quality Heavyweight in Fury twice. Last I remember, he was picked to lose by the majority when he fought Ortiz the first time. People also gave Stiverne a major shot at beating him the first time they fought. Golovkin has been exploding into arenas as a 1/100 favorite and his first name opponent was a blown up Welterweight. His only major fight against an ATG quality opponent was a blown up Light Middleweight. Major difference between the two if you have the brains to see through what is beyond obvious.
Canelo has improved vastly since his fight with Floyd, he even improved after his first fight with GGG where he wasn`t hit as much by GGG as he was v Floyd because he backed off more, GGG got hit more by Canelo because he threw more punches than Floyd did, Canelo`s punch power improved after his first bout with GGG and he used a high guard which he didn`t use v Floyd, fightes improve by practising new techniques, it`s not all about age or athleticism, look at B-hop, in the late 90`s he was twice the fighter that lost to Jones, fighters get better enough said really.
I don't recall anyone with half a brain picking 22 year old Canelo over Floyd. Everyone knew it was a cherry pick as Floyd sense Canelo was going to be a big name in the future, and he wanted him on his resume.
As everyone knows Castillo & Maidana really BEAT Floyd. But the Vegas corruption kept his sheet "clean"
How many Olympic medalists do you know, went near 400 fights..without getting knocked down or hurt (impossible without elite skills) Early on Canelo was dismissed as a Mexican Matchmakers botched job....the Big fight vs JCC Jr at Welter didn't happen, so he was touched-up & cashed out vs Mayweather. Later excellent matchmaking got Canelo to the favorable position he is in now. His loss vs Mayweather can now be considered a stylistic vulnerability due to the Reach-Speed disadvantage Mayweather had over him. Canelo being GGG benchmark is ironic, but GGG was not able to take out the smaller man, so that is all we got as of GGG true potential.
Canelo was green and drained, Floyd was 36 and just fought Guerrero five months earlier. I donĀ“t think they fought in prison..
