It doesn't matter who Canelo fights or in what weight class if the fights are fake and the punches are pulled. Think about that. Think about what you actually saw in Canelo vs Kovalev, then start asking yourself if everything looked right in Canelo-Jacobs, GGG-Canelo, Canelo-Fielding, GGG-Derevyanchenko, GGG-Jacobs, and so on. Fighters can potentially make way more money, and take way less damage, in fake fights compared to real fights if the bookies know the outcome ahead of time in a scripted fight. Also, they can get big name opponents to fight them for big paydays that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get if they agree to script the fight and not throw real punches.
Everyone wins. Besides the fans, the sport, integrity, honesty, and so on. But everyone involved wins. Think about the fact, there are tons of great boxers in the world, but you only see a handful spotlighted on TV. Even GGG couldn't get on HBO until a certain point, when maybe certain agreements were made. It's the insiders who end up on your TV, not the outsiders. The club promotes its own. Think of GGG's nickname in numbers, not letters, and what three-digit number do you get. What is at the center of the square and compass in a popular secret society's logo... the "G." What does Canelo's logo look like, the square and compass.
Now maybe it's corporations or the mob or Vegas trying to make a scapegoat of secret societies, who knows, and not really secret societies, or more likely they are just the few bad apples within the secret societies, but the point is there seems to be coordination based on the logos that suggest the same people are behind both GGG and Canelo. Someone mentioned a weird handshake Mcgregor and Floyd did after their sparring match. Same idea. It's an insider business. Al Haymon and Bob Arum both went to Harvard. Bob Arum worked closely for years with Barry Hearn. Eddie Hearn made his bones off Anthony Joshua, who was sold his first heavyweight belt by Al Haymon through Charles Martin, instead of Haymon selling that belt to his own fighter Wilder.
Starting to get the picture?
Just my opinion.
He retired all together...according to you any time anyone retires they are doing so to avoid someone
He retired in his prime and has hinted he will comeback for the right fight.
Of course he avoided them. Beterbeiv was his mandatory and he didn't want any of that.
His latest comments just confirm he avoided them.
Ward shouldn't talk
he retired to duck those guys and he's also ducking Canelo
Lmao right
Just make sure you drink water with that drink. Don't wanna have a shtty hangover at work tommorow

the whole point of gifting ward those kovalev fights was to build his star power and he just left them hanging. very rude of him. what retire! after what we did for you? now we are supposed to collect on your b-itch ass with easy fights! as tank davis put it "its milking time!"
Ward not only left them alone he retired to avoid them.

I think Ward is right about that and I am sure Canelo will leave Bivol and Beterbiev completely alone and not ever fight either of them.
He shouldn't. He's not a real light heavyweight.
I don't think it's really any type of insult, it's just a bridge too far to try to take those guys on. Something some around here need to be realistic about.
