    Canelo can be beaten on points. Floyd did it.

    You actually have to beat him though, not just get in a close fight then cry when the decision doesn't go you way.

      No, the lighter weights thrived because they had US competitors whereas there were no legitimate US heavyweights.

      We're nearly back there too.

      Pacquiao was a US competitor?

        Canelo wasnt this big of a star then, thats the difference. Floyd was the bigger star

          I don’t even think it’s all that important of a fight. They’ve ran it twice and in the first one Fury dominated outside of one punch (before you ***** about a long count remember that Fury only had to beat the refs count and not your stopwatch) and in the second Fury battered Wilder. Even if Wilder lands an absolute bomb and stops Fury he’s still one win to two losses. It hardly settles anything. It’s a roadblock to the actual important fight which was Fury vs Joshua for heavyweight supremacy.

            Not to mention...Fury had a long count but Wilder had a free scorecard. One of those judges was ILBBC staff and was twerking while watching Malik Scott OF...so Fury getting an extra second was nothing. . .

                Floyd mopped him and they tried to rob him. If that fight was closer they probably would have

                  Joshua vs Usyk, Canelo vs Plant and if Crawford vs Porter gets made I like all of those fights more...
