Nelo comitted a crime, but GGG comitted a robbery
LOL, he fought right? If the shoe was on the other foot Canelo wouldnt want to risk the payday in September either. What he did was safe yes, but smart.
People trying to discredit GGG crack me up. The man trains for Canelo for months and has to adjust within a month to fight someone else. We all know what goes into these camps to train for a style like Canelo.
He gave us a fight instead of waiting Canelos suspension out. Yet people talk trash about it. LOL
Yeah it’s such a shame Canelo got popped, cause it would’ve been a good weekend for boxing with Canelo-GGG 2 at the forefront.

When it place in the timeline, I am shocked at how bad the fight was!!

I'll be honest I think the last fight on a Cinco De Mayo weekend I actually cared about was Castillo-Corrales I. All those fights I watched but they weren't fights I really cared for. To me it's a whatever weekend. Just a regular weekend that there's fights on.
I was pretty hyped for Floyd-Cotto and May-Pac, none of those on the list were particularly great fights though, I just usually expect a big, meaningful type fight during that weekend. It just felt like another regular Saturday this year, I was more interested in the NBA than I was the boxing last night tbh
Floyd had us riding in first class, some fools started complaining until lil g and Canelo
introduced them to coach now they really got something to b*itch about!
Floyd was worth every cent, make the day a huge boxing celebration.
Now stuck with GgG v Journeyman
We went from the penthouse to the outhouse.

People dislike boxing or maybe more correctly said aren't invested in boxing for much deeper reasons than Cinco de Mayo.
-Too many "champions"
-Rankings don't make sense
-Mandatory's don't seem to go to the top 2 guys
-Decisions seem sketchy at times
-Fights fans wanna see don't happen as often as they should
-Promoters spend time on maxing out their upside vs giving the fans what they want
-Too many weight divisions
And probably 20 other things I could mention that make people dislike boxing, be frustrated with boxing & just not wanna invest THAT much time in a sport they can't explain very well to others cuz so much makes zero mfing sense to rational & reasonable cats.
I think GGG v Nelo II was Cino worthy. GGG replacement was a shocker
Without doubt the worst this decade from a boxing perspective...
The last two years have been pretty poor also but this year was awful.

2017 Canelo-Chavez
2018 GGG-Martirosyan and a meaningless cash grab in Bellew-Haye. 😔😔

I like it when casuals get into boxing for these random big fight weekends. Makes boxing feel as big as I think it should & could ideally be all year round if boxing was ran correctly & with the mindset of boxing first over all the bs & money.
Yeah if only say one fight a month had that attention it would be great. Too bad for the most part the Cinco De Mayo fights have been largely boring since Castillo-Corrales and that's probably part of the reason the casuals don't come back to watch other better fights.
Oops lol. My bad thanks for the correction.
For some reason I was thinking that fight was in September when I was coming up with that list but didn't fact check it obviously.
Lol, I guess that sums up that fight..forgotten!!

The punch that shane threw which landed spot on, everyone thought it was game over, that punch was felt by Mayweather’s great great ancestors. When Floyd recovered from that I knew he has one of the best ever chins.
