Everybody said he needed this to repair his image. I called bullsht and said if he was to win they'll just say he was juiced up.
but if you said he needed this for image will you give a victory credit or just make excuses?
once you been caught on the juice, its always going to knock you a bit down form whatever you hceive would merit. Say canelo does enough to earn hof?...he will merely be seen as an elite. Say he does enough to become ATG? he will mereyl be seen HoF.
like with roy jones..did enough to be a top level ATG, but will aways been seen as a "mid tier" ATG now.
I think most fans will give him full credit for beating an old but still great champion if he wins. How is he going to cheat for this fight? Everyone will be watching him like a hawk. If the judge's score cards are BS he might not get credit but if he wins and deserves the win he will get tons of credit.
Just like pandas said a wins a win a loss is a loss.
To many people have a vested interest in this.
It seems sometimes it hits fans harder than the actual boxer.
If Canelo doesn't get tired, he beats Golovkin 8-4 pretty clearly
The rematch will be no different, Golovkin still ends up stuck with Alvarez moving on him, and if he wins he moves on with his career, with folks evaluating Golovkin based on how he's done when put in with guys who could fight (Alvarez x2, Jacobs, 147lb Brook, Geale, 154lb Rosado, 154lb Ouma, and maybe Martin Murray); a good fighter, but nowhere near the best middleweight fighter to ever put on gloves.
