    Would you give him the benefit of the doubt?

    No excuse will suffice. After all, he's the odds on favorite. If he gets KTFO, it's all on him.

    He should be honest and say Oscar wore him out the night before.

    Canelo doesn’t come across like that to me?after all he has a full team to do all that stuff.

    How so? Are there no similarities between this bout and SRR v Maxim?

    I bet you go around telling people that loss shouldn't count

    I don't go around talking about a f*ckin fight from 60 years ago....

    You're similarities are silly and have no weight. But to humor you, yes, if the lights are too hot, that will be the immediate and logical excuse. o_O
