Why do people defend Canelo?

Golovkin said, and I quote, "I will fight anyone between 154-168". Ward is anyone.

Golovkin also said he would fight JCC Jr at 168, and he said he would fight Carl Frock at 168.

When Andre Ward called his bluff, GGG hid behind "unifying all the titles". When Sergeiy Derevyenchenko was more than willing to fight GGG for peanuts, GGG suddenly didn't care about the titles anymore.

GGG talks too much. He doesn't back up what he says. He's all talk. A loud mouth that over promises and under delivers.

 

• 2003 United States Amateur Light Heavyweight Champion guess who?? Andre Ward lol

 

Scorecards always matter. The fact that Khan couldn't even win on the scorecards should he have fought a perfect fight should ring alarm bells.

 

Sugar dont bother with facts they can't debate them at all just hit ya with some emotions be careful they are sensitive people Canelo fans lol

 

Lewis accepted the step aside money.

 

And in two years in a row he defeated Curtis Stevens. Stevens fought GGG at MW.

Ward turned pro at his natural weight class - 168.

 

okay so super middle still a bigger man lol so whats your point again?

 

How people aren't concerned when a 115-113 or 116-112 fight is scored as a complete blowout even if the decision goes to the right fighter is a mystery to be.

Did canelo beat Cotti? Yes. Were those scores a disgrace that showed Cotto never had a chance if winning a decision no matter what he did? IMO yes.

 

'Ducking' is the most overused word in boxing community. Boxers rarely literally 'duck' each other. Canelo waited for a better opportunity to fight GGG. With each fight Alvarez became a better fighter and a bigger brand, while Golovkin grew older. Canelo avoided him at particular time to have a better chance at beating him and to make more money. But please stop throwing words like 'ducking' around.

As for the rest of the accusations, that's what happens with the biggest stars in sports. It's not just boxing but football, basketball etc. The superstars are constantly gifted decisions in their favour. The problem in boxing is that judges have more influence on the sport.
Unfortunately it has always been like that and probably will continue.

The only conclusion from your post I see is to motivate boxing fans to somehow protest the unfair doings in the sport.
But problem with people defending Canelo? Seriosly? He is one of the most hated boxers right now and hell even Ali had received a lot of favours in his career, everyone loved him though.
Every boxer has a few too devoted fans, Canelo is no exception so I don't really get what your problem is.

 

Lewis could have refused. He ducked the fight.

GG was offered the fight at 155. He said no , so he ducked?

Canelo was granted a fight above 155 before he fought GG so there was no duck. Fight s don't get made because one party demands it.

 

That GG ducked Ward when he was just one weight class above him. Both Ward and Canelo moved up and fought their bogeymen.
GG avoided his like the plague.
