    A 27-28 year old Canelo got all he could handle from a 35-36 year old GGG. What does that say about Canelo that he had so many problems with a can devourer?

    No.... as someone who's wanted to see Edger Berlangy violently KTFO from the very first moment I heard Joe Tessitore fellating him like a madman. I love this fight!:D After looking very beatable against Hot Rod and The Nail, fighting Morrell and Benavidez probably looks a lot more appealing to him.

    Im not even a Canelo fan but it doesn’t matter if anyone is done or not, he is still easily top 5 and has the skill and power to prove it. Berlanga is going to die, and it’s going to be alot of fun to watch.

    Pastor Dmitry harvested his soul, broke him like a wild horse and tamed him and he is his master and Clenelo belongs to him now.

    That humiliating schooling might not have broken him physically but it sure as hell broke him mentally and spiritually.

    GGG - Shot, bloated 40 y/o, and dragged up to 168

    Juan Ryder - good fighter but seen as minimal risk by Ginger just like the 40 y/o shell of GGG's ghost was

    Jermello - dragged up from 154, hadn't fought in a year and a half

    Mung - career D level with a heavily padded record who developed into a C level with a heavily padded record

    Berlangy - glass jaw hype job bin man ''KO artist'' who has stopped 1 of his last 6 since moving up to D level. His resume makes Mung's look like SRR's and Greb's combined

    Clenelo is the richest boxer on the planet and he earns a ginger king's ransom no matter who he fights

    And he also has the judges in his pocket to transform an L into a W should he lose legitimately but even they couldn't save hin against Pastor Dmitry.

    Even having that safety net of knowing he has the judges in his pocket to come to his rescue unless his opponent dominates or KOs him cannot imbue him with the courage and strength to face legitimate threats anymore.

    GGG fought him x 3 when he was old, past his best, even more past it and shot, Clenelo, as I predicted long ago, would never have dared fight even the past prime GGG
    of their first two fights if was the age GGG was when he first fought him

    Even Benavidez and Morrell getting somewhat exposed when they stepped up to face opponents their size cannot imbue him with the courage to stop running from that smoke

    Pastor Dmitry didn't just harvest his soul he also harvested his testicles. Bit them clean off and Clenelo let out a bloodcurdling scream heard all across the world. Screamed like a little girl and he is now simultaneously a female dog and a ginger eunuch

    I was done with him after the 114-114 card in the Mayweather fight when he might have won two rounds at most.
    Canelo is a crybaby diva who tries to act tough. He’s not.

    I think Canelo only sees himself having one-two more actually risky fights in his career like a Bivol rematch or Benavidez then will check out. He's in boxing to make money after all.

    Bivol did school Canelo, but it’s weird how everyone seems to forget that Canelo keeps moving up and is trying to accomplish things only few do. I don’t even follow Canelo like that but surely the guy deserves credit? If he fights bigger guys you say he got schooled, if he fights at 168 he gets no credit for being undisputed and everyone is a cherry pick. If he gets Benavidez at 175 and loses, no1 will say he fought a natural LHW because thats what Benavidez is. If Benavidez drops back to 168, then everyone will say Canelo drained him because Benavidez had to come back down lol. I have no idea what is going on with the Canelo haters, surely it’s easier to admit when someone is very good

    Berlanga is the least skilled world title challenger I've seen in many, many years. Reminds me a super middleweight version of Simon Keane who is beyond awful.

    Guys like Dominic Breazeale and Alex Leapai look like masterful technicians in comparison

    My thread is about everything Canelo has done after Bivol. I was a YUGE fan beforehand and have defended him in recent years for not fighting Benavidez - that's no longer possible now.

    Canelo just comes off like an egomaniac. He says he "fights for legacy" but then also wont fight Benavidez...his mandatory for like 3-4 years??? Canelo says he cant fight Benavidez cause he wont fight Mexicans but then fights Munguia?!?

    Dude asks for $150M to fight Benavidez...or even Crawford lmao...is this guy serious?

    Yeah, he lost me as a fan. Doesnt mean I dont respect his career, just that I no longer support him.

    Canelo is a weight bully. He hydrates massively after weigh in so no he doesn’t get credit for fighting at 175 after he spent a whole career being a weight bully at lower weight classes.
