    cherrypicking at its finest he fought a way past his best fighter who was looking to cash out and who in his last fight was almost stopped by a novice who doesnt even spar. **** outta here with that greatness ****.

    Kovalev, shot shell and past it, could barely make weight. *
    Jacobs, looking shot and past it, could barely make weight. *
    Fielding, a never was glass jawed fraud. *
    Golovkin, shot and past it, got badly shafted. *
    Golovkin, shot and past it, got shafted again. *
    Chavez Jr., drained zombie shell of a fighter. *
    Beefy, British level who got his ass beat by Munguia.*
    Khan, drug up Welterweight, fight was sanctioned murder. *
    Cotto, a zombified shell, looked terrible in last two outings. *
    Kirkland, glass jawed fraud, had to drain down from HW. *
    Lara, was closing in on past it, Canelo still needed a gift.*
    Angulo, passed out after the weigh in he was so drained.*
    Mayweather, was hoping he was past it, got schooled*
    Trout, a prime fighter, even with KD, needed a gift to win.*
    Josesito, dug him up two divisions, was an utter travesty.*
    Mosley, an ambling walking cadaver, still couldn't stop him..*
    Cintron, he was so shot he had to come out of retirement.*
    Gomez & Baldomir, two more wetaherbeaten zombies.* & *


    I had no idea "greatness" had so many asterisks.o_O

    Which experts picked Kovalev?

    Almost everyone I'm familiar with picked Canelo.

    He looked shot against Yarde who I don't think is world class and he was lucky to not get taken out.

    He's finished as an elite fighter.

    'Not completely shot' and 'amazing' don't go together.

    I used quotations because I'm talking about the posters on this board, where it was something like 2:1 in Kovalev's favor.

    Kov is easily world class, the win over Eleider in Feb was probably the best win of his career. But he's not the same guy as three years ago.

    Okay.

    I've been on here all week and I didn't see it as being 2:1 in favour of Kovalev winning.

    I think last night proved that he's now finished at the highest level.

    Scam cause your dumbass prediction was wrong huh humm has to be a scam if you were wrong wth is wrong with you people seriously? If it was fixed why would they make canelo up on cards if it was fixed for a knockout huh exactly makes no sense none ZERO SENSE!!!! if he was gonna take a dive for a knockout they would have had the scorecards unbiased at all face it he got his ass knocked out you were wrong simple

    How significant is it when a guy jumps up weight classes and wins belts with completely unregulated support of steroids and PED's. This ****ing dickhead is a 154 naturally - at best. He looked like a ****ing choad last night, literally wider than he was tall, his traps were enormous, he was the most blatantly juiced up dude ive seen in a ring since Holyfield. People need to give the "smaller man" label a rest with this clown. Hes not ever the smaller man. Hes the mpost fake and juiced up tool in the sport. Its downright pathetic ge and ODLH are allowed to get away with this in a sport that has had plentiful tragedies lately. What next, HW? CW? Smaller man my ass. Fakest ****ing bellend in boxing.

    What we witnessed was yet another fight where Canelo was going to ‘win’ on the scorecards in a fight where he did absolutely nothing until that 11th round. It’s beyond laughable at this point the judging Canelo benefits from.

    Canelo needs to find a shot HW next! Is John Ruiz still alive? Better make sure he’s shot enough to make it a sure thing for Canelo. Maybe they can give Ruiz an honorary belt they can fight for.

    Are RJJs brains scrambled enough to make him a good opponent? That would be another big name on Canelo’s resume. Roy is only in his 50’s, still pretty prime by Canelo’s teams standards. Let’s get it on!

    So that makes what triple g did against him awesome then . A35/37 year old talking on a younger possibly legendary fighter and going 24 rounds toe-toe with him and not being hurt by the great canelo truly great .

    Clenbuterol. Twice. Catch weight nonsense. Bribed, bought,corrupt, incompetent decisions in his favor seven times.

    Canelo goes down in history for what he is... a manufactured champion who was never quite good enough to make it without cheating multiple different ways and facing older fighters on the decline. Shame

    But he was still winning the fight. Something smells fishy here...
