    I don’t see anyone from 147 (have to say this with a hint of sarcasm) to 168 beating Big Red.

    He is the best of the best currently with his power, combo punches and movements!!!

    When he went to 175 I was thinking he was on a suicide mission!!!

    Love him or hate him but right now he dominates and how he got here is another story but right now he is HERE!

    Sorry I go by the Oxford dictionary based on my English Public School education.

    You sound a bit testy son, have a cool drink to cool off.

    Canelo gets the rub of the green in close fights because of his ring generalship and ring IQ not because of corruption that is simply what I am pointing. No brown envelopes with cash are being exchanged.

    If you say so son. Have a lovely day sweetie. By the way the correct words are “I will still”.

    He's a damned good fighter, but I do have an issue "ATG", especially if presented as inescapable fact rather than borderline verdict. He does lack a signature win against a first rate, prime aged, opponent. The drugs thing & the decision in GGG I both pose big question marks. There are also small question marks over certain other of his scorecards.

    Expletives! Somehow I think that’s what you do to yourself. When people like you lose the argument your true selves are exposed and on such an auspicious day as well. Canelo’s greatness lives rent free in your head.

    You will note I have also said complementary things about you in posts like this and other threads. Anyway I am not trying to get you worked up so we can discuss privately at your convenience.

    Except GGG didn' t beat him twice. Ward is better than GGG and a harder match up for Canelo than GGG is. Ward is bigger faster stronger and could fight at more ranges than GGG and he was rough on the inside.

    Canelo was either profoundly lucky to come out ahead in their two fights or there was something crooked going on, and we know it wasnt luck.They were two great fights they just gave it to the wrong guy. They should have gave Canelo a change of style medal of accommodation for his second fight, but not the victory or the title. Golovkin had his head bouncing around like a bobble head throughout the fight. I would have liked to see GGG vs Ward, but Ward was much bigger, and i would have favored Ward to win, but GGG wouldnt have been without a chance. I would also still like to see Ward vs Canelo at light heavyweight. That would be huge.
