It just dawned upon me that Canelo doesn't really have classic fights

    his fights just suck lol. Like besides the 2 ggg fights, all of his fights are boring as f Uck!!!

    vs Lara, although Lara is to blame as well
    vs Callum Smith, although Smith is to blame as well
    vs Jacobs

    and a whole lotta other fights. now im not saying they're meaningless, but i just have no incentive to ever watch them again. guys like Victor Ortiz, who obviously is nowhere near as talented as Canelo, got 2 classic fights I watch every now and then. Maidana and Berto 1. I never wanna rewatch a Canelo fight.

    anyone else feel the same? put the personal bias aside
    By your logic, Floyd has 0 classic fights

        Honestly, there are more people with agendas, trolls and weirdos than there are normal posters here.
        It's probably still the most active boxing board, but it lacks in quality boxing talk and gets dominated by promotion wars talk.

          all hes doing is fighting people who are slowing down or were never that great in the first place. his last few opponents have been terrible despite how people try and spin it. . hes looked like a 'monster' since losing them 2 golovkin fights cause his opposition has got worse. yes hes clearing out 168n but thats arguably the worst division in boxing

            "Canelo doesn't have classic fights"

            Canelo vs. GGG 2 is literally the fight of the year for 2018.

            People are really going all out to try to discredit the guy who is willing to fight anyone while staying active.

                  His fights at 154 were excellent but everything after that was ok. He's picking and choosing too much.

                    Canelo v GGG 2 was an excellent fight

                    The first fight wasn’t really that good and ended in a bad decision with GGG being robbed. That fight left a sour taste in most peoples mouths because of the decision and it not actually been that good of a fight.

                    Manny has a few classic fights I think, win or lose. The last fight with JMM is a classic.

                    Floyd not so much, But I think he has classic performances, like the Corrales fight.

                    It’s difficult to have real classic fights if not many people can compete with you.
