    So? Other than GGG and Jacobs, Lemieux would KO all of Canelo's other wins

    BJS outslicks Canelo, winning at least 7 rounds. So.....Canelo wins by near shut out (one judge scoring it a TKO).

    No, I don't believe it, they do this a lot, they did it before with Golovkin, Canelo before and even doing it now with Callum Smith.

    This give them a "get out" when they serve up another poor opponent, they will say "we tried to get Canelo and Smith".

    If you want those fights then you have to PAY for those fights, not offer bang average money and say you tried. They offer average money for big fights and unifications and then turn to the boxing public and try and spin it like other fighters are not interested in fighting BjS.

    And as talented as he is please go and look at BJS resume, it is rather poor when you actually look at who has beaten and when he beat them.

    His best win is Lemieux and it was a very good performance, other than that it's a struggle to really praise anything.

    Andy Lee was OK I suppose, but the rest were poor, Eubank Jr was very close and you all see what Groves did with Eubank Jr so can we say it was a really good win? On paper maybe a "good win" but the fight and performance was poor.

    It's just wearing a little thin with me.. they keep making offers that they know won't be accepted.

    Hearn yesterday stated that they offered Smith basically what he got in his last fight, a keep busy one sided fight, no interest in that fight and they offer roughly the same purse.

    That isn't good enough and isn't a legitimate excuse or get out for not having big fights.


    If FW and BT want big fights and big PPVs then they have to pay for them, they have to make offers fighters can't refuse and they just don't, and then complain body wants to come and fight on that platform against their fighters.

    It's getting tiresome and boring.

    All I can see here is that Canelo gets his W and his cash while Billy Joe gets a payday but loses his undefeated record. I just don't know if this fight is PPV-worthy as his real only other option: GGG.

    Why is that u think? Simply because Canelo and GGG has stayed clear of him.

    Just saw over on the scene that Canelo's return has been postponed and will not fight in September. I wonder how DAZN will take this.
