    you only reason i focused on your nationality is because of the emotion in your oscar reply.
    i knew something else was in play besides you simply disagreeing.

    not revealing that you're mexican because you somehow think the person you're debating is somehow going to win points in the debate....that's being myopic.

    it doesn't bother me one way or the other what your heritage/colour/nationality is, i just wanted to highlight that your defence of oscar lacked objectivity because of the emotional investment you have in him based on shared heritage. that's all.

    Nope, you got offended cause I called your opinion myopic and instead of making a legit argument you deflected. Can't help it if you're distracted by shiny objects!

    Not into history revisionism, but its possible...

    You are making a big claim so hopefully you have proof that the legendary Armstrong was manufactured?

    Armstrong never did that, to be fair.

    Don't forget the blatant obvious fixed fight against Kovalev. There are countless things Kovalev was not doing in that fight that cannot be explain by a two month camp. No intent/power on any of his jabs (or punches for that matter) , 0 right hands, 0 hesitation to get away from counters (look how hesitant he is to Yarde), 0 intent on any of his work, 0 in and out and lateral footwork...the list goes on. Even Badou Jack thought it was fishy in his post fight interview..

    Oh and Kovalev gets a 3 fight deal from losing on DAZN. Loser getting a fight deal?? When has that been the case LOL

    Kovalev also said, and I'm quoting from an article here "Given the conditions, it was impossible to win. You are ignoramuses since you thought I could win. I climbed into this weight with torment & sleepless nights. Because it was a financially interesting offer,"

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ba...-press-conference-full-video-dazn-boxing-news

    Canelo saying he felt Kovalevs power.. What was that then? The non existent pattercakes jabs or the invisible right hands?

    Anyone giving credit to Canelo for this fight is not a boxing fan

    I asked a couple of guys in gym this question. Hector said " Canelo is more like Lance Armstrong than Henry" & he is a proud Mexican by the way

    The 160-175 Clenelo would slap a rehydratrion clause on the Armstrong who fought at featherweight

    This question is insulting to anyone with a brain and the ability to use the Google search function.

    There is no comparison whatsoever. There are multiple "belts" out there for Canelo to grab. Armstrong had basically if not literally one belt per division to win. Until and unless Canelo UNIFIES a belt his titles all come with an asterisk beside them.

    To fight like THIS, with that workrate, as often as he fought, is unthinkable now...
