    Yeah, Canelo fans aren't going to skip off into the sunset, bringing up all of Canelo's great accomplishments, while mentioning a draw and a win over Golovkin as a couple of those accomplishments. They will forever be corrected, just like Bradley never really never beat Pacquiao. That never happend. Always needs to be corrected. Canelo's best win never was a win! I give him credit for a win over 40 year old GGG though, which is a hell of a win. GGG stopped a determined Murata in his previous bout. Murata who was never closed to being stopped by anyone else.

    Typical deflection.

    No.

    You’re just being argumentative.

    You cannot compare the 2 with any substance whatsoever, and especially as you have no in-depth information.

    Just saying that you did, means nothing.

    There’s a world of difference between a pro fight, to an amateur fight with no information.

    Again, you do not know who they fought. What the level was. What the level of intensity was. And many of them would literally have been when he was a young kid.

    So it’s just a ridiculous comparison for you, or anybody to make.

    In fact I laid out the breakdown for you. If you can't parse what I said, it's not my problem.

    Nah. Great for his era. Not ATG. Didn't prove it.

    Hey, Canelo is a great fighter, 4 weight Champ, and the face of boxing! , but he lost the first two fights to GGG. Thats the way it is with robberies, dye gets splashed on spoils and it will forever be marked every time the so called victory is brought up. The ink will never come clean.

    Once again, you haven’t said anything SPECIFIC.

    You simply cannot answer the questions that I have put forward.

    Nobody can.

    Therefore, we will always be unable to have an IN-DEPTH discussion about said merits.

    So let’s just leave it at that.

    You simply can't understand my posts. Alas, you took a game swing, missed, and failed. I don't blame you. It is what it is.

    No.

    You just need to have the last word on any subject.


    The truth is:

    You have no specifics of his amateur record.

    And no amount of deflection or sarcasm etc, which are your predictable default replies, can change that.


    Now I’m not going to keep having a back and forth with you.

    Until you can answer the following questions, your posts about his amateur career are completely irrelevant.


    Tell me:

    Who specifically he fought and beat.

    What level the fights were at.

    How old he was.

    At what intensity they were fought at.


    Many of those bouts would have been when he was just a kid.

    Yes, it’s wear and tear. But just like anybody sparring and training on a daily basis from a young age.

    I was just looking forward to posting something snarky to you on this.

    But then the thought struck me: what if Loudon doesn't reply? It would be meaningless, after all. My position is lucidly stated, and he will have nothing new to say. All he can do is mumble the same dishwater again, maybe in a different order, as if that makes it new.

    But THEN the further thought struck me: nah, bro, this is Loudon. He is incapable of letting go. He always has to have the last word. You can string him along all month. You got this, bro :D

    Sadly, just as I was going to unzip the padded (black) silk carry-case with my poison pen, I saw that you Liked one of my other posts. Now I feel rotten for entertaining the idea of dunking on my new pal. So you will have to be content with this reply. A good day to you.

    Yes, those were at the end of his career, you know, when Jacobs and Clenelo aged him out as best as they could

    I’m always fair.

    Even if you can’t answer me on one thread, where we get your usual sarcasm and deflection tactics, I’ll always like one of your other posts on another thread, if it warrants it.

    GGG is definitely an ATG.

    Match him against the best middleweights in history and he does very well against them.

    He was robbed of at least one Canelo fight. Those robberies should not taint his overall all time rankings.
