    Clenbuterol came into medical use at first in 1977.

    Mexican Beef has side effects which includes long periods of being completely delusional.

    Robinson, Monzon? Gene Fulmer would grind Canelo up in a 15 rounder much less 2 all time great middleweights.

    Then why and how did Floyd school him? (Ignoring the corrupt "draw" scorecard).

    Well, Carmen Basilio wasn't exactly a beast. All 5'6" and barely 150 pounds of him.

    I always dislike when fighters say this about themselves. Just stay classy and stick to your own era.

    Canelo delusional? What else is new?

    Not sure if you guys are aware, but this kind of delusion is needed for someone at the top to stay in the top. I don't think Lebron James would've reached the heights he did if he told people "yeah I'm okay, I do good at times". He'd be mediocre at best. Same with Connor McGregor in the UFC, Antonio Brown in the NFL, Drake for example with rap music, Steve Jobs in the tech industry, etc.

    In fact I can't think of many things where someone is at the very top who isn't delusional. It happens of course but more often than not, the delusional types tend to be it more than the sane types.

    They asked him who can beat this version of Canelo, he responded no one. They asked SRR or Monzon, he said no.

    That wasn't 160-168lb Canelo.

    I respect his confidence but given what Mayweather did to him I think SRR would have handled him quite comfortably.
