    Why are all of you so happy see a guy cowardly vacate a title instead of defending it? Where's all that daring to be great crap now? Is daring to be great bashing a drunk with the gas tank of a septuagenarian senseless, and hauling ass and not defending it once? Or is it showing how big his cojones really are, fighting one of the biggest Boogeyman in the sport? Where's all that Uber confidence from you guys now? Do you all suddenly have no faith in him?

    Wicked ***** move from The Cherry Picking Ginger Balled One if you ask me.

    “Daring to be great” only applies to certain fighters, under certain circumstances, when suiting certain agendas;)

    Canelo fights in three divisions. Clearly his focus is not at 175 at the moment, there are more lucrative fights at 160 and 168 than 175 with Gilberto Ramirez possibly being the exception once he gets a title.

    Canelo dares to be great moreso than any other top level, world famous boxer, including your beloved GGG who truly has let his fans down with his lack of willingness to fight the highest level opposition available to him.

    The bum never had any intention of defending it. The whole thing was a farce, kovalev clearly took a dive.

    There’s better fights in both 160 and 175, 168 is the major step down division of the 3.

    So it's a 'dare to be great' when you pick the easiest of titlists to face then just dropping the belt w/o defending it? :lol:

    That’s the true M.O of the daring to be great agenda group.

    Perhaps to the hardcore fans, but to the paying mainstream fan 175 is relatively unknown with the exception of Kovalev.

    So in terms of lucrative fights, 160 and 168 is the place to campaign. If Gilberto Ramirez manages to capture the WBO or any other belt, then 175 may be a lucrative option.

    Come on man, think with your head, not with your hate.

    Well, its definitely greater than most popular top fighters right now.

    But we know, you hold Canelo to different and tougher standards, you being his big fan and all. LOL

    Where’s the hate?

    Canelo v Charlo/GGG/Andrade/Saunders at 160 or Beterbiev/Gvozdyk/Bivol are far better fights than anything at 168.

    Or am I wrong?

    I hold canelo to the same standard I hold all fighters of his level doucheturd... Guys who carry the ability to pick and choose exactly WHO they want to fight should be held to a higher standard then those w/o that benefit.

    Why does Canelo need some highly recognizable or popular name to fight @ 175? HE is the cash cow FFS. Should he ONLY fights guys who are known AND hold a belt? :buenrollo:

    Billy Joe Saunders, Callum Smith, David Benavidez are more lucrative than anyone at 175 save Ramirez IF he gets his hands on a world title.

    Come on man.. You joke too much.
