    History won't.

    Canelo's legacy will be a win and a draw over Golovkin. All the controversy will be forgotten.

    Canelo had to:

    -Age GGG
    -Use PEDs
    -Buy judges
    -Stack the wraps

    Canelo's career post Fluid Mayweather has been one well played chess match. Always striking at the right time or juicing enough to tip the scales in his favour.

    No it wont Even his staunch Mexican fans turned on him over him ducking GGG after talking so macho.
    Then the obvious judging bias in his favor in every fight. No one believed Jacobs would get a fair crack in this fight but he seemed to. I think it was fear on the corruption side that caused that up till now it had been TOO OBVIOUS!!!
    Then his blatant PED's abuse. Remember even the NSAC had to admit he cheated, but only gave him a slap on the wrist
    No Oscar & the NSAC have tarnished Canelo's legacy for good. Shame he really is a damn good fighter

    And he was outlanded and once Golovkin nearly knocked him out.

    Golovkin was never close to the ropes during the fight and he outlanded Canelo in 9 rounds out of 12.

    your title of the thread is something Floyd would do. Wait for people to age or fight them too early.
