    Canelo got beat by GGG TWICE!!! but received Vegas decisions. He'd have lost to GGG again if GGG had started fighting aggressively

    The last sentence says it all about Canelos career. He never gives an opponent a fair fight

    He did put a 10lb clause on Kovalev and Jacobs. You know, the same rule the IBF mandates for it´s title fights? Do you ever complain about that?
    He fought Kovalev because it was the biggest fight they could get on a relatively short notice. Canelo had issues with GBP as Oscar could not get him a fight. The whole ordeal was a cluster**** and Canelo was adamant that he was going to fight on that date. It was a similar story with Smith.
    Bivol isn´t a 168lb fighter. He has never fought at the weight.

    You sure do like to criticize as much as you can(some of it is fair), but what about the praise? Canelo fought the 2 biggest names at 160. I still remember how many proclaimed Canelo would not fight Jacobs.
    Canelo also signed an immediate rematch with Golovkin, despite the fact that most proclaimed he had been lucky the first fight.
    He then moved up to 168 and unified the division.
    He capitulated to Saunders, who right before the fight started demanding for a larger ring.
    Canelo also moved up to 175 again, this time without any handicaps, to take on a real challenge.

    Canelo also fought Trout, Lara and Floyd. And oh were many claiming how Canelo was never going to fight Trout or Lara.
    Heck, Canelo was even scheduled to face Paul Williams.
    And now Canelo is aiming for a rematch with Bivol. And has stated that if that doesn´t happen, then Benavidez is the next candidate.

    when you have a chance to fight the biggest star in boxing in a fight for a world title after claiming that everybody is afraid within 3 division you can’t then make excuses about weight.. Canelo won the title at 155 vs Cotto right or wrong but factually both Cotto and Canelo said if GGG wants to fight at 158 we can fight if not he got to wait… homie started back tracking so he ended up having to wait only to lose when he actually got the chance

    Canelo did indeed fight Trout Lara & Floyd all 3 were chosen as the winners of those fights over Canelo by the boxing fraternity . But its practically impossible to get a winning decision in Vegas over either because they are or were protected
    In the Floyd & Bivol fights against Canelo even the Vegas judges could not stretch even a bogus draw as
    both fights were schoolings

    He didnt back out of anything. Haymon was tryna treat Bud like Thurman, Danny or Errol and Bud said nah, I'm a real one. Bud then made a super easy $10M in a sparring match.

    Why is it nearly no other promotional company can work with PBC? Something shady going on and Haymon a goddamn rat. Al built a promo company off the back of, "Top rank only wanna do in-house fights" and "everyone leaving GBP". Well guess what, PBC only does in-house fights and Tank and Wilder just left. There will be more. And thank God. Get Al out of this sport asap - a CANCER.

    dude all these promotional companies are already working with each other, but what you said is probably the issue bud can scam and make 10mil fighting a nobody so why should he take a hard fight? Bud wants easy fights for big money he don’t want to fight top comp.. he said it himself his career defining win is Jeff horn and he cool with that

    Fury -> Miniq : Canelo -> acie2g

    Canelo has been a ducker for years. Look at who he hasn't fought, Charlo bros, Benavidez, past-prime GGG. Then got clowned twice by GGG but still gets the two gift decisions. It is blatantly obvious what is happening unless the brown nosing is at extreme levels. Getting sucked off by Sulaiman is the wranger's modus operandi, which equals gift decisions and selected opponents.

    He won the first fight tbf and every single interview he did at the time, he said his mission was to unify 160. And Canelo's argument about weight goes out the window when a few years later he's up at LHW.
