    That's your narrative, and you're entitled to it I suppose.

    But the fact is that Canelo is fighting GGG September 16 2017, just like they said they would from clear back last year, despite you and your GGGooney patrol swearing Canelo would never fight Golovkin. You were wrong about that too.

    If Chavez wins, and GGG wipes out Chavez, then Canelo is back to Square One in the Public's eyes. Easy to see what the intended Canelo vs Chavez result had to be.

    Wasnt a fix. Lile i said before it was a brilliant cherrypick. Chavez jnr just isnt that good and is nowhere near Canelos ability especially drained down like that

    Well the proof is in the pudding. They were prepared to give that promotional extravaganza with GGG after the fight. Ya think they would have put that all on the line if Canelo has a remote chance of losing, which would then defeat all the effort with the post fight promotion with GGG? C'mon slow bus ppl?

    And putting his bodyguard ref into context, when Chavez's head would get remotely close to Canelo his bodyguard would yell out watch them heads lol. And then look at how pathetic Chavez looked. ****, it all certainly, clearly paints a particular narrative. Too many coincidences to not be premeditated.

    It was the most expensive trailer/promotion for a fight that HBO and Golden Boy ever put together. i.e. Canelo vs GGG

    You'd have to be a pure casual with zero knowledge on Jr's history to believe this fight was fixed.

    It was 100% real and a few knew it was a joke of the fight all along.

    Then you must also believe AJ vs Molina was fixed because a deal had already been done for him to fight Wlad who was waiting ring side to step into the ring once the fight was over to make it official.

    Was that fight fixed?

    People still.have this weird belief that Chavez jnr will suddenley morph into a prime Chavez snr. He just isnt a good boxer. C level imo not even a good gatekeeper
