    What about Danny J?
    Canelo even went to 175 to fight Krusher. Absolutely the other two belts holders were too much of a risk but Canelo still went to 175 and grabbed a belt.

    Surly you give him credit for Danny and Krusher.:icon_pc:

    This. It was no more lucky than a shot on the jaw that KO's someone. Canelo was throwing those shots with intention, and he got the win. Also, how dominant he was after the shot showed that he still had plenty in the tank imo and would likely have broken Saunders down either way.

    And I rate Saunders, excellent win.

    ROFLMAO !! If I was fighting today the last person Id be jealous of is him
    Not man enough to get a decent woman it seems he buys Hookers . Was never man enough to take on all comers. Cannot compete without all the "help" NSAC, Vegas boxing & their officials give him. Cannot compete without the IV gate saga, he needed the excessive saline to mask the good stuff he'd been using . Is a convicted woman abuser. Do I need to go on?? I'd had too much self respect to act the way he has

    Not wanting to move up and only wanting to fight smaller men proves cowardice if Kov was such an easy fight G should have fought him

    GGG would have given Kov a full training camp not jump on him right after his fight. Canelo knew Kov was depressed & not really ready. Even Kov himself said afterwards I cannot believe anyone thought I had a chance to win & LAUGHED about it. He knew he couldnt win

    If accomplishing what Canelo has accomplished, and if Golovkin is better than Canelo, then why didn't he do it?

    Why didnt Hagler move up ?? Because like GGG he knew he was a natural middleweight. To me & to many boxing people as well GGG has never legitimately lost & really should still be World Middleweight Champion.
    Ginger couldnt make 160 now Doubt he could make 168 without without his clenbuterol lol. Ginger moved up to cherry pick the weak champions you didnt see him challenge Betterbiev did ya lol Or Benevidez Or Bivol either lol

    LOL neither did Ginger till that debacle with BallBuster Ward . I'm surprised the battering his testes took he wasnt seriously hurt . There wasnt a round Ward didnt punch Kov in the testes

    If you were fighting today he would still kick your arse! He would beat you and your mate Tony in the same night.

    If I was in the shape I was in back then I'd fight Floyd any day. He punches like a 13 yr old girl, when he punches. He's mostly all running dancing Holding & elbow shivers I would not swear I could beat him, he wouldnt stop me though,but I KNOW that Tony could & would if given a fair fight
    Ive never said Tony was TBE or a world beater, What he was was a FIGHTER!!!!! Anyone Anywhere Anytime Ask Manny his opinion. He said
    " Margarito was his hardest fight, he was too big too strong & hit too hard & I was lucky to win". Actually if his Eye had not been -permanently damaged who's to say he might not have beaten Pac

    Maybe not but G could definitely move up and he could have also fought a faded Kov
