    The only cycling going on was GGG getting on that bike in the rematch after calling for a toe-to-toe war lol.

    He actually underwent testing that time.
    When you get busted, it´s the last thing you want to do during downtime.

    Who cares? The same people who believe that top level athletes are "full natty" probably believe in Santa Claus.

    This is how out of touch with reality BCS8 is, claiming that after Canelo was suspended, and while he was undergoing rigorous testing, that's when Canelo would have been taking PEDs. Like the drug tests wouldn't have detected any PED use during that time.

    I mean, even if he had the means to get past the tests... wtf would he be gearing for?
    People have no idea how PED´s work.

    Someone recently argued to me that Joshua has been on heavy PED´s since teenage years.
    And I have heard the same about Mike Tyson as well.
    Those must have been some miracle PED´s as they had no side effects after decades of supposed heavy use.
    (yes, some PED´s will have lasting effects on the body, but there is a limit)

    Outboxed by GGG x2.. The second fight was not a draw despite how many times lunatic Canelo fans act as if it was close.. It was 8-4 arguably 9-3

    Lara made Canelo look embarassing, if Lara was Floyd that'd be Lara UD.

    Cotto was small and shot and you can very well argue Cotto won. I had it 7-5 Canelo but it was very close.

    Kovalev was a blatant fix and the fact there is no outrage there is beyond me. One of the most obvious fixes I've ever seen, I expected a decent fight and was so shocked that I was seeing a glorified sparring session. Never seen anything like it. If anyone thinks Kovalev just magically forgot his entire skillset because of Canelo's overrated counterpunching then you're dumb. A short camp doesn't explain that bs either. The fact Canelo fans defend this obvious **** means they're naive/dumb af

    Agree with that except for Kovalev.

    Old man Kovalev just came off a brutal war with Yarde, had a short camp and was pegged to a rehydration clause. Frankly I am surprised that he did as well as he did.

    I think you're on to something there. If Lara was Floyd I think you're right, Lara would have probably won wide, and people would be saying Canelo was schooled by Lara like they say about Floyd. If Lara was Floyd, people would probably be arguing that Lara shut Canelo out lol and the judges that had it close were worse than CJ Ross lmao.

    Cotto was thoroughly outboxed and outclassed by Canelo, don't be ridiculous. Cotto barely won any rounds. Cotto was far past his best, Canelo was coming into his prime, it was competitive but Canelo clearly won that match easily.

    Haha I know BCS8 is just not very bright, he lives in a PED la la land.

    Armchair fans love to virtue signal and accuse fighters they dont like of being on drugs. It's cause they jelly.

    Kovalev was used to Rehydration clauses all those years he was defending the IBF. Kovalev was not known for ballooning up in weight after making the weigh-in to where a 10 lb rehydration limit would impair him in any way. He said himself he only gains 4-8 pounds after weighing in so he doesn't come in too heavy and disadvantage him. Canelo was moving up an entire weight class to meet Kovalev, after already moving up from Middleweight the year before. So Canelo was essentially fighting Kovalev at 2 full weight classes above his normal weight, without demanding a catchweight. So a rehydration limit was appropriate.

    Kovalev did struggle to make 175 at the weigh-in, but there was no indication that he had any problem making the rehydration limit the next day. I'm sure you would have preferred to see Canelo, a natural Middleweight have to fight a Cruiserweight in the ring and putting Canelo at an even greater functional weight disadvantage than he already was at fighting at Light Heavyweight. But, no, you're just making excuses to complain about a rehydration clause when Canelo was already giving away a ton of weight fighting Kovalev at his natural weight.

    Canelo picked on the oldest and worst guy at lightheavyweight after he'd been in a war.

    Kovalev is as old as F.

    So of course Canelo was sexually aroused by that old man smell (you should see him at the Santa Rita Home for the Aged they have to restrain him, he goes crazy) and immediately sent a fight request.

    Kovalev being broke because of his drinking was forced to accept it even though he was worn out from the war against Yarde. But having an old and worn out opponent was still too risky for Canelo. Taking a deep swig of his favourite drink Clenbuterolo on the Rocks, he demanded Kovalev have a short camp AND a rehydration clause. Naturally being aware of his cowardly and shameful ways Clenelo (Clenelo being the evolved form of Canelo) tried to keep the rehydration clause a secret, but it all came out anyway. Fortunately Clenelo has an army of spastics on the internet who will write 10000 word essays defending him while he slips them a pair of his old gym socks as payment.

    As to the actual fight, Clenelo was shoe shined the entire fight by the jab of the ghost of Kovalev, who was doing all he could to stay on his feet due to dehydration. Fearing the worst, the cowardly Clenelo finally gathered his courage in the 11th and ended it. Breathing a deep sigh of relief, Uncle Oscar patted him on the shoulder with a used spoon and said "thank goodness, at least I don't have to pay a performance bonus to the three blind mice over there," waving in the general direction of the judge's box.

    Everybody cheered wildly for the latest famous win over an old / handicapped / dehydrated / smaller opponent.

    It was way wider and easier to score than Canelo vs Mayweather.
