It is amusing seeing people change their opinion of fighters after Canelo fought them though.

Was referring to this particular observation bro.

Oh okie. I actually thought his fans were the worst at this. I remember seeing a ton of posts ****ting on Saunders, Plant, Callum and even Bivol saying who have they beaten, they're champions in a horrible division (in the case of 168). But once he actually signed to fight them and ultimately defeat them (obviously not Bivol), those same fans came to praise them for being undefeated champions. There's obviously hypocrisy from both sides but his fan base is rampant with it.

Usyk The P4P King

Foh, lmao…

Canelo was never the best pfp. Neither was Loma and neither is Usyk.

When he moves UP 2 weight classes, then your statement would be true.

How many pounds AJ weighted?

He went from fighting someone 199lbs to fighting someone 255.

How many divisions would that be for Canelo? Trick question, because there would be a catchweight and hydration clause.

You gotta be ignorant or eal ****** or both to really think fighting an 175 elite champ in bivol a cherrypick gone wrong...like seriously

Stop moving the goalposts. Even Hearn thought it was a cherry pick.

I’m not saying Usyk isn’t very good but he’s 6’2. There have been MANY heavyweight champions at that height. Name outside of Canelo, how many 5:08 168 pound champions their have been?

He can't fight everyone at the same time. He wanted to be undisputed at 168 and he did it. You can't say that those guys were not legit fighters. He tried to capture another title to be undisputed at 175 and he failed. I don't see the shame in that. I don't think the Charlo is better than Bivol and Benavides is making a lot of noise with his mouth but his competition has been subpar (I still want to see that fight).

After the GGG fight lets see where he goes from there. I am for one think that fight past its expiration date but it is still a big fight because of their fanbases. I will watch with a lot of interest but wasn't waiting for this fight to happen.

I don't know who he has really avoided. Andrade other than calling him out has done nothing to make a case for himself and look the last few opponents of Charlo, nothing notable. If Bivol wins and he wants again that fight will be there.

He ran to 168 because the walls were closing in at 160. Who did Billy Joe beat for his title at 168? Pretty sure you don't know. His mandatory was Charlo. Canelo or someone in his camp petitioned the WBC for the franchise title so he wouldn't have to fight his mandatory.

Andrade was a champion at 154 when Canelo outright ducked him after the Lara fight. Dan Rafael has an old article archived.

Is Canelo a good fighter, yes that's without a question. Is Canelo nervous about not being the guy if he lost to Andrade or Charlo. His movements says yes he is. He thought Bivol was a soft touch and was humbled. Too bad Golovkin is old with bad stamina.

I'm sure there are fighters who can check the same boxes and are also willing to face Mexicans.

I'm still tilting over that comment.
