    He's the guy who guided JMM to sink the SS Pactanic. The poster is just a still-butthurt alt of one of the roaches that infested that vessel prior to KTFO6.

    Well he's already lost to a slick counter puncher, next up he gets KO'd by a half Russian, half Korean, he's well on his way to being the next Julio Cesar Chavez.:deal:

    Nacho is the guy who allowed JMM to hire a known PED dealer Memo Heredia. It's all in the same circle anyway. This made JMM get on Memo's PEDs because he couldn't win without cheating following in the footsteps of other Mexican cheaters such as Margarito, Vargas, Morales, Salido, and the list goes on.

    Canelo is far away from being more than just a cash cow but I just hope he doesn't end up cheating too.

    He is probably near JMM if he gets one prime named fighters scalp, but that loss to Lara will haunt him, and ducking GGG will too.

    Nowhere near the likes of Chavez, Morales or Barrera

    MEXICO CITY — Ever since the mid-1980s, when Mexican idol Julio Cesar Chavez first came to be recognized as boxing's greatest pound-for-pound performer, Mexicans have wondered how many people he could draw to Azteca Stadium.

    Tonight, they will find out.

    The spotlighted performer on a four-fight, pay-per-view show, Chavez's match with Greg Haugen could draw 130,000 to Azteca, one of the world's largest stadiums.

    Televisa, co-promoters of the show with Don King and Dan Goossen, said Thursday that ticket sales had gone over 100,000.

    To think the greatest are Julio Cesar Chavez, Ruben Olivares, Vicente Saldivar and Salvador Sanchez, he has a LONG, LONG way to go.
    He has to beat a number of legit future HOF's.
    He's 26 years old, turned pro at 15. He will fade from age 30 IMO.

    Canelo is a B level fighter. His best "wins" were over 2 B level fighters in Lara and Trout and a faded B+ fighter in Cotto; and those wins were close fights. Canelo has never beaten an A level fighter.

    With a track record like that doesn't inspire confidence
