    But you did. Everything you typed is base conjecture. There is no "quite obvious", because you KNOW NOTHING. Just like 99% of everybody posting about it. The ****ed up thing is that for sure there are people around here that actually do know. But there is no way to know which ones they are.

    I used to like him until his diva antics kicked in

    Toss in catch weight abuse and PEDs, what’s to like?

    I forgot. People love fighters due to their PPV and purse numbers.

    Morons. All of them.

    I dont think you follow boxing very closely then.

    Ive seen Euro boxers say they like Canelo and thought he won the fight, and I've seen living legend in Ward state he likes Canelo.

    Not sure what you're yapping about. Keep the debate honest

    I was a fan of his, still love to watch him as I like his style of boxing but he really started losing me as a fan with all the catch weight BS and then clearly delaying the GGG fight. And then the doping issue reared it's ugly head.

    Honestly he's epitomises a lot of what is wrong with this sport. I assume his fans are either Mexicans, Golovkin haters or simply fan boy casual types who watch him rather than watch boxing.

    In many other sports he'd be vilified and marginalised by it's fans and governing bodies. Look at Sharapova, went from the darling of Tennis to it's villainess. But nope not in boxing, fans and sanctioning bodies just accept it and sweep it under the carpet.

    What do you mean by, "I know nothing". I don't need to be an expert to make an opinion on this. The facts are there, he got caught with Clenbuterol in his system twice. That's not a conjecture that's a fact. He got suspended for six months for it. That's a fact.

    The actual experts are split on the issue, some agreeing it's drug abuse, others think it COULD be down to tainted meat. Fact. Where it gets subjective is that I happen to agree with the former with accordance to my personal observations on his physical transformation over the years. I think that's enough information to go by where one could make an informed opinion rather than "KNOW NOTHING" as you say..

    So your argument here as I see it is: "You have to have personally supervised a hair follicle sample testing in a lab and have yourself confirmed the test results to say anything about it". It's a rather silly suggestion to be honest in my view and I'm not sure what gives you the right to create this criteria either.

    If you want to say that I shouldn't have put forth my argument as strongly as I have when there ARE some actual experts who disagree with me. That's fine. I'll accept that.

    What surprises me is that some people can hate a guy so much, who really doesn't even have many reasons to be hated. That they'd root for someone like Canelo over him.

    I mean there are some boxers I disliked, like say Ward, if he fought someone with as much BS surrounding him as Canelo, there's no way I'm rooting against him even if I'm not the biggest fan of the guy. It's a weird thing.

    The hair test is unreliable as they have shown that two people taking the same dose of clen at the same time having wildly varying results with things as minor as the color of your hair changing your results. I.E the lighter your hair the less likely you are to show dirty.

    Ward is a hater. So you are just proving my point.

    Euro boxers think Canelo beat Golovkin? You had to seek out Euro level fighters to find someone who is lame enough to agree with you? Pretty sad.

    But seriously, what was the name of the restaurant where Canelo ate the beef, and what did he order?

    Pharmacia de Backstreeta and he ordered 50mg Clenbuterol.

    It's their signature dish.
