    Precisely! And yet, long standing posters here take their words serious, as representative of the actual fan base. It's half comical, half sad really.

    Abel was giving Canelo his proper respect for bringing the fight to GGG.He knew it was close and didn't want to sound like a crying little b****. So as everybody knows, if a fight is even relatively competitive, "and this fight was extremely competitive "with Canelo, that the decision will go to Canelo. Abel always thought they won. In other interviews that same day, he said he thought they won, but considering the over all circumstances,it being Canelo in Vegas and Canelo fighting aggressively, it wasn't enough. Abel felt particularly responsible to respond in a positive manner because he was the Mexican style instigater from the beginning. As you can see, GGG was just answering as a matter of fact, coming from a fighter that has fought at the top level internationally for so many years, that he felt he never lost control of that fight. GGG fought in a way that he thought he needed to in that particular situation and did enough to pull it out. He made that decision based off of his vast experience. Abel was just embarrassed because he over did it with the Mexican style talk. Golovkin is a bad ass fighter with vast experience, he can take you out or out box you, or both. He dont have to stick to one style and one style only. Thomas Hearns was allowed to box or punch at his own discretion, it didn't make him any less the Hit man. That is probably why Abel is gone today. Because although he was a good promoter of GGG, he also brought alot of hate in GGG'S direction as well.He was quite annoying. Abel should have never jumped in front to answer GGG'S question for him. GGG thought he won. A close fight should go to the long reigning champ, but with Canelo everybody knows it is different.

    GGG might hit harder but Cotto is more accurate with his punches, Cotto chin is not bad the only two fighter's that stopped him were cheaters.

    Canelo never stopped Cotto, it was a points loss.

    Doesn't matter.

    The same way JMM gets credit for his performance against Pacquiao because some scored the fight in his favour.

    The same way MAB got credit for the first fight with Morales because some scored in his favour.

    This is nothing new.

    Yeah, drained Cotto ONE pound from his prior fight! :lol: Is that why Canelo was trying to get 3G to 155 for a MW title fight, to drain him?

    You should get on some secret shakes fatass!
