is Canelo taking all the fights that GGG SHOULD have taken?

    Who cares what casual think.

    Many pro boxers and legends like Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, George Foreman, Julio Cesar Chavez and many others have said Canelo won.

    I had GGG winning the first fight clearly the second one razor close imo
    But BOTH times GGG took way more punishment and clear hard shots than Canelo so regardless how you want to score the rounds due to ring generals hip or ggg's jab whatever you can't talk about an assbeating.
    Look at Golovkins face after the rematch, he took HARD shots to the body and head. Most of the rounds Canelo lost were because he was taking breathers in fight 1 and languishing on the ropes doing nothing and Golovkin was more active with the jab in fight 2.

    If anyone took a BEATING in terms of actual damage it was Golovkin

    It could still happen. I would want to see it if it happens before Ward turns 40. Tbh with Wards hopkins-type style he might not be shot yet.
    It's really the only mega money fight for Canelo outside of maybe a Spence fight or the golovkin trilogy(which gets less interesting the older golovkin gets)

    Bull!!!
    Abel Sanchez was the voice to hype Golovkin because Golovkin's english was so poor.
    Golovkin however knew exactly what Sanchez was saying and rode with it.
    Sanchez being a big mouth had nothing to do with GGG showing him his walking papers, greed and the fact that Sanchez was man enough to admit his fighter lost to Canelo is what put him out of favors with Golovkin.
    The one thing a fight trainer should try to avoid is saying his fighter got beat when he could have kept his opinion to himself.

    First fight was a clear GGG win and was running over him like a freight train in the championship rounds.

    Second fights was fight as could be and that was the DRAW fight.

    Yup I had it 6-6 or 7-5 for Canelo.
    I think the fact that golovkin probably deserved the first one and the general "trend" with canelo scorecards plus the failed drug test scewed public perception in GGGs favor in the rematch.

    The public feels Canelo won the rematch. Its just the loud crying GGG stans who don't stop crying about this supposed robbery.

    Looks like he said that he is a small middleweight and that he is closer to 154lbs division than 168lbs. I didn't here him bragging about fighting anybody from 154lbs to 168lbs. Definitely not Canelo who out weighed him.

    He said Canelo deserved it because he kept it close. He said he he personally thought Golovkin won.

    No he didn't, he fought evenly in the first minute and got chased and slapped around the next two minutes. GGG won 2 out of three of the last 3 rounds.

    I trust the media that had it 42 for GGG, 16 A DRAW, AND 2 FOR Canelo. Mike Tyson was probably high, Chavez and Duran were probably drunk.

    Canelo has been fighting people he shouldn't have ever since Trout.
