He ducked prime Golovkin. Opted to fight him when GGG slowed down a bit. And 155 is middleweight, genius.
Why would they prefer a Mexican? GGG is a media/fan darling, Canelo was playing the bad guy role here with the PED episode and receiving favorable scoring in the first fight. Of course there's a heavy bias against him. Why did Abel Sanchez think Canelo won fair and square?
Judges are corrupt, of course the 36 year old Kazakh would have lost a decision against one of boxing's North American cash cows.
I was talking about the media scores of the first Golovkin - Canelo fight. Alvarez wasn't a bad guy when that fight was scored, he would get exposed as a PED cheat later. Abel Sanchez is salty because Golovkin didn't follow his tactical instructions. Sanchez realized that GGG doesn't think much of him as a coach.
Lets get this right... GGG was fighting Clenelo, Bob Bennet & the NSAC & Vegas boxing officials > Clens backup assured him all he had to do was be standing when the bell ended the fight that he would NOT lose Canelo is a good fighter who resorted to cheating to make sure he didn't lose Jusy not quite as good as GGG though
