    After winning by a landslide Canelo/Team announced the fight was good to go.

    I have to give credit to both fighters for coming to an agreement.

    I wanna give a shout-out to the Canelo haters, you know how you are.

    I dare you to call Canelo El Pollo, come on don't hide, man up.

    What's your next excuse or motto, "GGG will put a hurting on Canelo".

    The only reason GGG/Team are accepting is because they want them golden eggs.

    They will say he's fighting GGG because he showed weakness in his last fight. Maybe he did, but I think Jacobs is good so it's a little misleading.

    Win, lose or draw, he should be given credit and haters should give him credit.

    Oh Lord, here we go with the excuses. Even GGG/Team admitted the fight was a go. Just man up and give Canelo his due, stop hating.

    Someone's already started the "Canelo will put a hurting on GGG" thread.

    He's next my friend. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best and 1 being the worst, how do you rate Canelo's performance tonight?

    Hnmmm.

    The positives were:
    - Canelo looked sharp and confident
    - he boxed well
    - Canelo seems to keep his speed despite moving up

    The negatives were:
    - Canelo's power wasn't enough to put JCC Jr down.
    - JCC Jr looked terrible so it's hard to judge the performance.

    I'd say a 7, maybe an 8. How about you?

    If the fight is indeed signed..then I give Canelo full credit as I was a firm believer he would be fighting yet another soft fight next.

    I'd say about an 11. I don't see how he could have done much better. I mean he's fighting a much bigger guy who towered over him, he won every round dominantly, he even did some rope a dope, he stood up between rounds every single round over 12 rounds, he busted Chavez up, he caused Chavez to retreat and be on the defensive the entire fight, he showed a large variety of punches and technique, he wasn't marked up himself. Just an awe inspiring performance all around.

    Side note, I don't see why doing rope a dope or standing up between rounds is a plus?

    It was a comprehensive victory, but Chávez Jr turned in one of the worst major fight performances I have seen so I'm hesitant to call it higher than an 8. In my books you need a better quality opposition performance to reach 9 or 10, if it was GGG getting beaten that would be what gets a 10. 10s are reserved for very special performances to me.

    Would be interesting to see what others thought.
