    Clearly he wasn't on the boards in those days. :lol: The Pac**** Nation was far more fanatical than even Golovkin fans.

    Better matched maybe but it will not be as fan friendly as Canelo/GGG.

    Nah...as far as significance to boxing's core fans, it's Ward vs Kovalev.

    Theres hype amongst boxing followers online.

    But it is in a way unnecessary.

    The hype is more around to expose the business side of boxing that we all hate. Frankly, the appalling behaviour of Golden Boy by their treatment of dragging a Middleweight championship belt through the mud is a joke.

    By doing these silly catch weights, pulling up smaller fighters for easy pickings, to claim a championship all to "promote" one fighter at the cost of actual recognition of the likely true MW champion GGG.

    Canelo has no business in MW - at welterweight - fair enough. But not like this.
