    I consider Pac great no doubt he took risks and dared to be great and should be applauded for it. I don't considered him greater than PBF most don't but that's a whole separate subject. Guys like him Cotto PBF and Canelo have all taken risks in this era and dared to be great. GGG hasn't. That's what this whole thing is about atleast for me.

    Is A-side status irrevocable? Once an A always an A?

    You ever heard that old saying about assumptions?
     
  3. there is no excuse even his owns fan will not accept you got GGG haters even calling a canelo a *****

    Virgil hunter himself knows whats up and if the crazy hater danteboxing has even said he was scared

    At this point its clear he is scared and its sad a Mexican fighter is acting like this.

    I don't believe that him being Mexican means anything, but that's just me. That's a different discussion though...

    And I'm excusing Canelo, are you implying that I am?

    Mexico is a nation with it's own culture and ethnicity. Canelo is a member of their society. He has just disgraced and dishonored that society.

    When you dishonor your own people typically they socially ostracize you.

    Oh, so that seals it huh. Virgil Hunter the guy who’s fighter just got KTFO by Canelo and some random guy on the internet says it, so it must be so?

    At this point it’s clear that you’re really salty when it comes to Canelo.

    I am so curious who Canelo picks next. Lemieux can barely make 160 so he won't be going any lower. Stevens is a former 168 lb fighter, 160 is a big challenge for him as well. So a ppv against either of them would need to be at 160, which will inevitably leads to questions of why them instead of GGG. 97K ppv sells will be an optimistic estimate then ;)

    Has Khan dishonored the society in the U.K. by getting KTFO by Canelo? Or are you gunna tell me that it’s worse to vacate a belt then to get knocked out cold?
     
  9. Canelo folded and bent over and gave his ass to GGG and handed his belt over to him

    He said Mexicans don't **** around live on hbo and said he will fight him at 160 and ran away when the moment of truth came.

    Canelo reputation has been ruined
     
  10. I just picked those

    The hate he is getting is crazy one look at his social media proves it

    did you watch the Mexican sports channel and they was ashamed of him?

    Eh... Feel how you will about it. I, personally, don't believe that a Mexican should behave a certain way, or an American, or a Britain, or an Asian, or whatever. I believe we're all individuals and if you want to embody that pre-conceived notion of what your nationality is supposed to act like (a stereotype) then by all means go ahead.

    Of course it is. Khan took the challenge like a warrior. I'll never criticize a fighter for stepping up to the challenge like Khan did.

    But vacating a belt and laying it at the feet of your mandatory is disgraceful.

    Actually he did exactly what he said he would do. He said he fights for honor and glory, not for belts. So his moment of truth came and he was true to his word. The WBC wasn’t treating him right, so he vacated it.
     
  15. yes but Mexicans in boxing are known to be warriors
