    They were not world champions, nor pros (I think), they were just amateur champions of my continent. Legends of the sport in the small town I was born, but only in my small town. And even that was too much for their kids, I'm sure it has been a living hell for Jr to go into a ring once and again with all the people expecting him to be like his father.

    Anyway, I'd prefer to be jr better than canelo. $$$ can fix lots of problems, and to be born like a rich kiddo is always better than having to swallow tons of **** because you have nothing.

    The harder road produces harder men. I'll give Canelo that.

    Yes, that's for sure. A tough life makes a tough fighter, no doubt. I give canelo that too.

    (but i'd prefer to be rich anyway hehehehe).

    I watched it. I saw precisely the opposite: Jr looked comfy and confident. The little signs of a dude being really tired/worn out were not present. He had lots of energy and plenty more on tap. Or that's what I thought anyway. Canelo looked badass as well.
