Many athletes much smarter than Canelo and his team have been caught using clenbuterol. The fact that what he did was stupid does not lead one to conclude that he couldn't have done it because he is not that stupid is a pretty stupid argument.
It's a dangerous double standard. No word should be casually thrown around by one group with no ramifications while another group may have their life threatened if they use it. It is designed to empower one group and weaken the other. No different from any group that has used language OR ANY OTHER IDENTIFIER in this way historically. Toxic and dangerous. Ask any Crip or Blood about headbands.
That's right
No because Dominic was never good to begin with and currently is not even in the top 10. Was another overhyped PBC fighter.
They tried to make this a big fight but DM just doesn't have any kind of speed. He is tough and can take a good punch but he is slow as molasses.
I think Thurman just likes being in the spotlight. Having some fun with it. But I do think Thurman lacks inner confidence. He tries to come off like he is ultra confident but I don't see it. He has looked vulnerable in several fights. If Pac is on his game I think he stops Thurman. That is a big ask, though, for a 40-year-old.
I think Prograis is going to have a field day banging that body
Just don’t see how he loses this one
It’ll probably be a late stoppage imo
I agree. I think Prograis stops him.
Manny would have stopped Thurman in his prime but Manny is a shell of what he used to be. This should be a decent fight but I suspect Thurman edges Manny unless Manny stops him.
Ward was always carefully protected, who he fought, where he fought, etc. Somewhat akin to Canelo Alvarez. Both are very good fighters but not as good as they promote themselves. Ward would only take the Usyk fight if he felt strongly he could beat him, dictate the terms, and cash in on a big payday. Don't think he can get the money so it won't happen. Usyk isn't well enough known to warrant a big payday.
Lucky to see $30M
Canelo will be lucky to receive $30M over his 11 fight contract. It will be tied to yet to be realized super fights. He's going to have to fight others a lot better than Fielding to collect.
The fight I want to see more than any other, far and away, is Canelo vs Beterbiev. If Canelo can beat Beterbiev I will tip my hat to him. But I think Canelo's team would NEVER allow him in with Beterbiev.
I have to say I enjoyed seeing this side of Canelo much more than the fake, packaged side they always present to us. He showed some passion, some personality. And he's right, Andrade is a joke. He would knock the crap out of Andrade.
Saunders is better than Plant.
Yeah, I agree. I think Canelo has an easier night with Plant than he does with Saunders. I just can't get over how much of a dud the conclusion of this fight was tonight. I really thought Saunders came to fight. I was wrong.
Jacobs gets way too much credit. Both men fought well but I would have declared it a draw only because Jacobs got the knockdown in the 12th. The Polish fighter outlanded Jacobs despite what the punch stats say. Jacobs is a good fighter but not as good as they make him out to be.
This. Jacobs kept stalling and I don´t think it was really about money.. he did absolutely everything he could to enter the ring in the best shape of his life, fought the fight of his life and still lost. It was close and competitive, but he lost. I admit I kind of understand DJ on this one even if I don´t like or respect what he did.
Jacobs got every conceivable benefit and still got knocked down and lost the fight.
I admire Garcia's call out if it is real. Maybe he believes the fight can't be made. That's why he's so brash. I'd have to give the edge to Davis, though. Garcia comes in, chin up. That doesn't bode well for him.
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has a good relationship with his past opponents. He gets along with everyone from Vitali Klitschko to Mike Tyson to Evander Holyfield. But the only past opponent that he doesn't get along with to this day, is another former undisputed champion, Riddick Bowe.Click Here To Read More]
Bowe has brain damage now. Sad to see. He was once a very talented fighter but never the brightest bulb. Lewis would be wise to keep his distance from Bowe. No good will come from it.
Sulaiman is a disgrace
This is not GGG's problem. This is Canelo's problem. This is Sulaiman's problem. Stop acting like it is GGG's problem. What a disgrace. VADA is dedicated to this issue and this issue should be clarified and resolved by VADA now. Not next week, not tomorrow. Today. What is going to be done about Canelo's cheating?!
This guy is in serious denial. And some of you posters are too.
Look at the body language when he got up. The referee tried to help him raise up and he hunched over. Then look at him casually walk to the ring AFTER the ref stopped it. No argument. No nothing. Then you wait until after the fight to say the referee was premature.
This was the fifth NoMasChenko in a row.
Completely agree. He had no interest in continuing. Loma would have brutalized him.
What the hell, some of you guys accusing Spence and Loma of using PEDs. Get out of here. Total nonsense. You can see who might use PEDs. Canelo comes to mind. Look how he has bulked up over the last couple years.
What do you expect from Hopkins, who is a loser. Amazed HBO chose to sign the guy but I guess they know their market. Bhop has always been classless, in and out of the ring.
THAT WAS CLEARLY OBVIOUS WHEN HE SELECTED VANES
I said that Hypekin is a pvssy for INTENTIONALLY creating an impossible log-jam in September..... the Vanes selection would OBVIOUSLY kill a much better fight down the line, and it would obvious cause him problems with his mandatory
SERIOUSLY..... FCUK HYPEKIN..... AND FCUK HIS IDIOT FANBASE
1) that decision was sooooo obvious
2) Gennady is 100% responsible/accountable for that decision
now the hypejob wants to risk the Canelo fight by demanding more money..... and now his fans are saying that Golovkin has been disadvantaged, so Canelo must pay
Golovkin disadvantaged himself by wasting a fight date and selecting yet another no-hoper to pad his sh1tty record instead of facing his obligations like a true champion
Fcuk you, sshole.
How is it possible that more than a few hundred diehard fans will pay to watch this? It seems akin to a Go Fund Me pitch with hat in hand. I hope cooler heads will prevail in the end and they scrap this thing. It only tarnishes Chavez senior's legacy.
Spence is right
Spence is the better fighter but he did show vulnerability in the Brook fight. Thurman can KO anyone in the division but Spence should win this fight. Brook is better than Thurman. Personally, I think Thurman is overrated. Chin is suspect. The one weakness Spence has is his reckless abandon when attacking. Could get countered. Spence by KO.
