    Canelo has already really lost fights,but Vegas judges saved his butt . But even they couldn't stretch the Bivol annihilation to give him another bogus draw. He never won a round

    One of the best? Come on buddy we will never know this cause he’s spent majority of his career weight bullying smaller men, ducking fights and aging opponents out.

    he is possibly the greatest marketing achievement in 35 years up surpassing even AJ

    Let me guess, you're a mentally disturbed fan of Gennady "The Tomato Can Devourer" Golovkin.

    Canelo is doing fine. His relationship with GB frayed after Bivol, he went over to PBC, he's been making good money, and he's avoided Benavidez. The main strike against him is Benavidez. If he didn't exist, most people would be praising Canelo's recent opposition since it has been pretty good post-Bivol. I personally think that Munguia is a better fighter than Benavidez honestly, Bena hasn't really accomplished all that much apart from an 8-4 decision over Plant. If it weren't for Canelo, I don't think anybody would really talk about Benavidez as much as they have. Even the fights he gets criticised for like Jermell and old GGG are still very good wins by anybody else's standards. The problem, imo, is that Canelo set the bar too high for himself and then when he couldn't reach it the same way he did before, he started getting flack. For a while, Canelo became Godnelo and he would wax lyrical about how he was doing everything for history, how wanted to go down as one of the greats, how he'll fight everybody, then he realised his limitations and started to backtrack and people still try to hold him to the standards he set himself to in his prime. I think he'll fight Benavidez eventually, and I reckon he'll beat him. Even if he doesn't fight him, people won't remember it if Benavidez gets beat at 175 and fizzles out.

    I'd prefer to be called a fan of GGG, as I do respect him, but would hate to be thought of as a Canelo fan who I have no respect at all for. Canelo is basically robbing boxing fans, refusing to fight his mandatory Benavidez while entertaining the idea of fighting Crawford who fights 3 weights BELOW Canelo. Although despite the weight difference Canelo STILL hedges at fighting Crawford because he can FIGHT!!!!! Canelo doesn't want opponents that do that.
    If any fan is mentally disturbed its the people that STILL support that cowardly diva Canelo who loved little Mell Charlo who danced with him. Munguia & Khan too were dragged up to fight.. Canelo's courage, what little he had evaporated with the Butt whipping he took from a real Fighter Dmitry Bivol who embarrassed & destroyed him.
    Stick a fork in him he's DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bivol keeps Canelo's soul in a cardboard box under his bed.

    Nothing has went wrong with his career. He's beaten a ton of good fighters, took ok plenty of challenges and faced a lot of guys blank said he wouldn't face. Sure he lost attempting to push his limits as far as weight goes. If he never fights Benavidez I'd be disappointed but it wouldn't take away the career equity he's built to this point. His career only really went wrong if you just never was a fan to begin with.

    The whole "He's too smalll for 175" is a crock of sh!t. Last I looked, he was already a titlist at 175. Fact of the matter is, he just doesn't care anymore. He'll face hand picked comp, and let his suckers continue to pay for his retirement plan, despite being a multi-millionaire. Fanboys are such easy suckers to take money from...
