    Got hitched up with Oscar & the NSAC plus Vegas officials. wih that team behind you NO ONE can have prayer of ever winning a dec over you in Vegas. He knew every time he entered the ring be standing at the final bell & you will NOT LOSE!!!!! Talk about the corruption with the mafia & mob of the 50's they were choirboys compared to todays commissions

    @C.J. Didn't you say if Canelo won this fight fair and square you'd congratulate him? So lets hear it, or are you not a man of your word?

    Lara, Trout & GGG x2 all did more than enough to win over Canelo.
    Both Floyd & Canelo won decisions in very close even fightsBUT you never saw either LOSE a decision did you?? Think for a minute & you'll figure out why

    They were better than their opponents when they fought?

    He's done this at least 2 or 3 other times and never fails to welch. Not a good look for a guy who's always going on and on about integrity.

    That's your extremely biased opinion and nothing more.

    Ive spent hours with & got to know Antonio very well over the years. Tell me Have you ever met or spent any time in the gym or at fights with either Floyd or Canelo ????NO & neither would give you the time of day if you did LOL
    Tony earned my respect watching him progress from an unknown to a guy that decimated the so called Great Miguel Cotto when he wasnt supposed to LOL Didnt do their homework did they. LOL Every fight he was in he gave 110% , never asked for any favors or "help" to win fights he relied on his own talents. Its as plain as the nose on your face, he was in the way & no one had the cojones to get in the ring with him so they had to find another way. Nazim Richardson's blatant lie about Plaster Blocks falling from his wraps to the CSAC's imitation of the Keystone Kops in suspending him on a liars words gave them the means. In my opinion everyone concerned it that conspiracy should have been JAILED!! Best part is no one has even given me the hint Tony may ever have been guilty. He was convicted on a liars word & nothing more. Biggest black eye for boxing EVER in my opinion

    Not just my opinion but the opinion of the majority of unbiased boxing people.
    Why do you think Floyd & Canelo have had so much "help " in their careers??
    Its obvious they use them to make $$$$$$$ out of the gullible casual fans

    Canelo and Floyd received much support in their careers because of how special they were, respectively. When Corrales was seen as a monster, he reluctantly took the fight to separate himself from all the average fighters. When Canelo was coming up, he was taking fights that his own advisors were worried about because he was a young kid barely departing his teen years and entering his young adult years. Just because YOU believe Shane Mosley wasn't a formidable opponent for a young kid like Canelo was, doesn't mean Shane Mosley didn't have the fighting spirit he did when he was younger and still wanted to stay on the top of the rankings. Within the boxing community, Canelo and Floyd are well respected and revered by many fighters because of their attributes in the ring, not because of their financial status. If you think people are calling Canelo and Floyd great because they know how to sell fights, you really gotta reevaluate your though process, and clean out your ears because the fighters that look up to them always give their props about things in the ring that not everyone is doing or has done like them. These are great fighters, and if you can't recognize that then I'm sorry but you are greatly blinded by your biases and insecurities, because anyother fighter in the combat sports community can and has realized that we have been witness 2 of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.

    Mosely was a PROVEN & Eventually Self Confessed Juicer. Claimed he'd beaten 2 polygraphs proving him innocent but then BALCO dropped the bomb & produced his signed receipts so he had to come clean. I'll never forget the defeated embarrassed look on his face when he was exposed
