Damn it just hit me that Canelo made his own weight class

[kushking]

Only in the eyes of fanboys Clenelo won. Golovkin won both fights.

Yes those pesky fanbois like the Dave Moretti who had ggg winning 1st match, that ginger is a bad egg, hand-picking the 1 judge who had ggg ahead

Right. But arguing against their opinion is pointless. Revisionist history is a hard thing to stop. Canelo vs Cotto was one of the biggest mega fights at the time. Cotto even gave GGG step-aside money, which he accepted. GGG fans were actually asking for Cotto vs GGG at first.

If I remember correctly GGG accepted step aside money twice. He was saying he was after the belts, he just wanted the belts. But if he just wanted the belts he could have forced the ABC org's to give him his shot at the titles because he was mando IIRC. Bu accepted money because he preferred to 1. Fight fighters fresh off of coming up from a lower weight class. And 2. He wanted the big money, understandably. He's a prize fighter so of course he wants the big bucks. But just saying.

Yeah, I remember GGG being WBC mandatory too, because Canelo dropped the belt to avoid the fight, but Golovkin was already IBF champ....so how was he a mandatory?


EDIT - Won the interim WBC belt from Rubio. Forgot about that.

Yup.

It was pretty well documented too. As Cotto and GGG's team had an agreement to not talk about the step aside deal. After Cotto was interviewed and he let it slip, Loeffler was livid at Cotto for breaking the gag order. Cotto was mad at paying 7 figures to GGG to step aside. So he showed his displeasure of it in an interview.

Here is Team GGG telling Cotto they would allow Cotto-Canelo only for step aside money.

Thanks. I was still drinking in 2015 so my memory is somewhat....foggy lol. I recently rewatched and scored Ward/Kessler forgetting it was a stoppage....because who expects Ward to stop someone?

Technical decision

Pretty suspect picture you have there of Canelo man. Why would another man have that picture saved.

Also, I like how you posted Teddy Atlas in that one picture. He scored GGG-Canelo 2, 8-3-1 for GGG. So thanks for pointing him out

But I'm not upset about Ca$hnelo YOU are.

No hard feelings against Borat stans who give draw rounds out or score activity. The point of the picture is showing that all activity is NOT equal which is demonstrated by Canelo STYLING on Bo**** face...doesnt even reveal the body damage but Borat needed 9 months off for a reason.

I love how ******ed children on this site are trying to tell people who have ACTUALLY COMPETED in boxing how weight classes work.

You must've taken too many blows bro. 155-160 is Middleweight for a fan, coach, trainer, ref, judge, promoter, or boxer

I feel like that one commercial where it's like 'that's now how it works, that's not how any of this works'

Was that the Trump commercial inciting riots at the Capitol? You weird Trumpers LOL
