You know.......... It's possible that Canelo was never all that good to begin with.

    Oh... but yeah. Canelo is very, very good, and stands amongst some of the best of this era but he isn't and never was on some other level or in a different stratosphere as some would have you believe. He has been granted opportunities from a young age far beyond what most other fighters would see in their entire career and - to the credit of both his character and abilities - has taken full advantage of the opportunities and privileges he has enjoyed.

        You can do most things but post up GGG's resume

          People are criticizing Nelo
          Ok. Fair enough.

          Nelo lost to someone naturally bigger than him
          Ok, fair enough.

          Does the critiquing start and end there ?!?!?
          Let's find reasons to praise someone...let's start with GGG and all the risks he's taken

          (cue raucous laughter)
          Ha no I was just curious man. Every time someone brings up any criticism of Canelo I've noticed your response is invariably to bring up Golovkin, just wondering why.

            Pac fans failed to do it
            GGG's fans fail to do it....

            Make a dedication thread for them.

            Of course it's easier to make threads criticizing May and/or Nelo
            Pac fans and GGG fans have no time to make a thread detailing their greatness

              It makes sense if a fight fan wants to compare what is and what isn't great.

              If it's all about bashing Nelo, then that isn't a fight fan.

              Why do you think no GGG fan is willing to post up his glorious resume ?
              I find that far more interesting

                - - Must be purt fair to make all the BS sissies break into tearful howls every time Canelo's name come up.

                  Nah, he is good, just not THAT good some casuals wanted to believe.

                  His best weight was 160, just he didn`t like close fights there.

                  The only reason he dominated 168 division was very poor competition there.

                    Coming from a person who never laced up gloves or got in the ring. Now that’s got to be right?

                      From one extreme to the other
                      People are really losing their fughin minds
                      Canelo is a good boxer , yes he’s had a couple of gifts and also chitty opposition but who hasn’t ? Honestly
                      Blows my mind that today’s boxing fan cannot accept a loss for a loss
                      All the greats had them
