The Golovkin-Martirosyan Match Serves As An Excellent & Revelatory Proxy Measuring Stick.

But Canelo is a smaller man.... smaller than Vanes in fact, and what exactly should he of done? Its not like Saunders, Jacobs, Charlo could have easily pulled out of the matches they were contractually obligated to fight could they? And on short notice, Spike turned down the offer, intelligently. Vanes is a solid stay busy fight, that everyone on this board wuld be defending if say..... Charlo were fighting him, or Canelo, kind of like many of the Canelo fanboys were defending him fighting Beefy and Khan. Jesus.

 

Nope, I was trying to remain logical, anything bigger than an 800 pound elephant, wouldn't fit through the doorway. So 800 pound elephant it is.

 

Really? Well you don't follow the sport very closely then do you? Did I say that I thought Vanes would put a beating on GGG and win in dominant fashion? No, I didn't. I'm merely stating that Vanes DID IN FACT fight on even terms, with Lara, Andrade and Charlo, doing enough to win the Charlo match outright, and the Lara and Andrade matches could have easily been scored draws, that's not my biased opinion, its an opinion held by the majority of the people who saw the actual matches. So if you're judging the man off of his losses, well he hasn't had a clear one to date, and all against guys who are considered much avoided boogeymen on ESB. So that alone qualifies him as a credible opponent by default, or was everyone on here just full of **** and pushing an anti-GGG agenda when they were saying Lara, Andrade and Charlo give GGG hell? Hmmm. Fair's fair, Vanes hasn't convincingly lost to any of these top operators, his matches with them are closer than Canelo's BS draw against GGG and as close the Jacobs loss. He deserves respect from all of the people who hyped Lara and Andrade as potential GGG opponents, he's as credible as credible gets.
