    He lost two fights at the Olympics and was losing against Klitschko until the 11th. On sane people's cards that is.

    He lost ONE at the Olympics and he ktfo klitschko so in the end its a moot point.

    Come back when he actually gets a crooked decision as a pro

    No, and there wasn't one. Only GGG nuthuggers (of which there are many) think he was robbed.

    A lot of current or former boxers think that Golovkin won the fight including ones like Lennox Lewis. Thanks for playing though.

    This was a close fight but you aren’t beating Alvarez in a close fight
    That’s the thing about the A side inboxing, they always get the swing rounds
    Isn’t odd that not a single judge had GGG winning? Of course not, that’s where the robbery comes in.

    I fully expected this and therefore made money off canelo +125

    Yes I predicted this

    I predicted before the fight that GGG would need to *CLEARLY* win 9 rounds in order to get the decision.

    He only managed 7-8 *CLEAR* rounds depending on your perspective and that wasnt enough.

    Which fight have Joshua been given that he shouldn't have won? Only one has gone to the cards, a fight he won comfortably. Not the best example.

    Gotta decisively beat the cash cow . GGG may have won both fights but didn't dominate. That's the way it is.

    I thought it was possible but I’m glad it didn’t actually happen.

    He clearly lost to Savon and Cammarelle, not sure what you're talking about. It wouldn't have been a moot point if Joshua had not landed that 11rnd uppercut. It would have been another London robbery. Watch this weekend for another stitch up.

    He clearly lost to savon, the cammarele fight could have gone either way

    And "another London robbery"

    Like which other ones?

    The word robbery gets thrown around too liberally on this board. It was a competitive fight and while I had Golovkin winning 7-5, a Canelo win by MD doesn't make it a robbery. Had Alvarez been awarded some ridiculous one sided scores (i.e. 10-2) than that would be considered a robbery.

    Whenever the subject of robbery comes up, I always mention the Joel Casamayor vs Jose Armando Santa Cruz. That's what the epitome of a robbery in this sport looks like and should be used as a gold standard to measure other fights that are considered to be robberies.

    Completely agree with that. I don't know what you lot do on this site as your not pure boxing fans you just go with something in your head and run with it. I'd be the first one to say oh yes delahoya in Vegas sounds right. I scored the fight this morning and looked at both fighter as Joe bloggs and scored it a draw and I had some rounds that were even that could've gone to Canelo so I was being nice to golovkin. Someone show me three rounds that golovkin did enough in to win round easy? It's his own fault he lost. Alvarez stayed in front of him all night and it was fought in perfect golovkin range so he has no excuse. He just didn't perform and that's simple

    I don't agree and if he did land with more then they were pathetic range finding jabs. In the first fight after 6 rounds golovkin started really forcing and boasting the fight. No doubt golovkin was 25% better on first fight than this
