Terence Allan Crawford vs. Amir Iqbal Khan & Teófimo Andrés López vs. Edis Tatli RBR

I don't defend Canelo, I just respond to those that come at me.

 

Yes, as I said, you defend him, it’s not a crime Shadow. You do a determined job you should be very proud of yourself. I’m sure Canelo would appreciate it.

 

It works both ways. I don't see how it's defending Canelo to be in-line with the 3 judges, that Floyd won but it was close. It's not like I'm going out of my way here, it's not like I'm aruging it was a draw or that Canelo won or anything crazy. But yet I constantly get accused of saying that a draw was plausible which I've never argued. I just find it funny how often I get misrepresented around here, and if you're gonna come at me with that kind of stuff you know you're gonna get it.

 

So you have a issue with how I am using the word “defending”, that’s fair, what word would you suggest?

Supporting?

 

Telling it like it is.

 

You claim to have the only accurate opinion on this subject?

Is this just for Canelo or all boxers?

 

Not the only, just in the minority. The best way to gauge who's more on point with what they're saying has to do with being able to back it up with relevant supporting information. I continue to do that yet those that come at me are often easily countered and then are unable or unwilling to go tit for tat.

 

Well I don’t need to back up what I said, Canelo admitted he ate tainted cow. The tests even confirmed the levels were consistent with eating a tainted cow. So don’t get defensive when someone makes a joke about that, just accept it as truth and move forwards. It’s not a crime eating tainted cow, it’s just against the rules of boxing.

 

LOL what are you talking about. Don't get defensive ? Where have I got defensive ?

You brought up tainted cow out of nowhere and I responded with "What makes you think that ? Are you mad that Canelo beat up GGG ?"

Then you were all "just kidding, I know how much you defend Canelo". You continue to say I defend Canelo but yet nowhere have I defended Canelo. I'm still trying to figure out how this topic went from talking about Crawford Khan and turned into a discussion about Canelo.

Oh right ellerbe got triggered by my post "Floyd was scared of fighting Khan." LOL
and out of nowhere brought it back to Canelo with this gem : Remember when Floyd completely schooled and embarrassed Canelo and made him look like a novice? "I WAS BORN READY!"

Looks like ellerbe was getting defensive of Floyd being scared of Khan !

Floyd was also scared of Canelo too, which is why he tried so hard to drain him, the only way he would fight him. So cowardly !

 

And are you truthfully trying to claim that you never defend Canelo on this forum?? Reread your post above slowly and then come back in here and reply to me regarding whether or not there is any truth in my claim that you defend Canelo on this forum.

You just don’t like the word DEFEND because YOU are perceiving it in only a negative way because you are uptight from everyone that comes at you. Correct? I just mean it as you stick up for him, that’s not negative it’s just the truth. Nothing wrong with it, but you didn’t see it that way and that’s cool, now you know.

Dont try to go tit for tat with me Shadow, I’m capable of replying with exceedingly long replies that will be so anal they will bore the stuffing out of you. You don’t want that Shadow, trust me, nobody does.

 

So cowardly of Floyd???

If Floyd was scared of Canelo he had to be very brave to get into the ring and beat him over 12 rounds don’t you think? How is that cowardly overcoming that type of cowardice?

 

LOL OK well good for you for not backing down. All this started because I stated that Floyd wanted no part of Khan and was scared to fight him. So this had zero to do with Canelo. We were talking about Floyd and Khan, then somebody got all bent out of shape over Floyd being scared of Khan and "fought back" by claiming that Floyd schooled Canelo lmao.

 

Brave would have been fighting him at 154 with no catchweight since they were both 154-lb title holders. (Floyd won his 154-lb title vs Cotto at the full 154, and Floyd fought De La Hoya at the full 154 years earlier) It was weak that Floyd would only fight Canelo at a catchweight after stressing how important it was to fight Cotto at 154 the year before.

 

Brave? I thought we were talking COWARDLY???

Are you playing the old slippery eel with latineg just because you know I’m slow witted??

Is that what’s going on here Shadow??

 

Floyd Mayweather is a lot of things, but the word "Brave" doesn't exactly come to mind. This is a guy that refused to fight Pacquiao and ducked him for over 5 years, all but accused Pac-Man of being on PEDs and called for Olympic Style Drug testing in boxing all in an attempt to avoid the fight that the world wanted to see. Was that a sign of bravery ?

A good amount of the public wanted to see him fight Amir Khan because stylistically Khan's speed and activity could give Floyd problems. Instead he took a much easier fight in Berto. Not Brave.

With Canelo he refused to fight him straight up at 154, after the year earlier making a big stink about how Pacquiao drained Cotto and how he still considered Cotto an undefeated fighter because of it, so he wanted Cotto to be at his best, at 154. But yet when it came to Canelo he did not want Canelo to be at his best now did he ? Hmmm I wonder why lol.

These are examples of being cowardly !
