Canelo-Ryder at 168 is a DISGRACE.

    Come on, no one has ever heard of a “tune up fight” is this really something new? Hell, Tanks last 10:fights have been tune ups.
    Canelo just had surgery, not to mention he’s past his prime and isn’t getting better. I just want him to fight Charla and Benavides so everyone will shut up. Then I want him to retire but he won’t.
    Past his prime at 31? Jesus, he have to layoff that beef.

      Let the Charlene sistas fight each other and Androgynous. Canelo will get around to Bena and other contenders before retirement, but I wouldn't be surprised if he moved up to 175 again for the right fight. By age 34 he'll have made so much $$$ that he almost has to retire for his family's sake.
      That's the next excuse. He's "past his prime".

        You a boxer? How old are you? You ever been an athlete?

          I boxed back in Cuba. But baseball was the one I played the most, along with track and field. 67 years old is my age, my pleasure to make your acquaintance. Every person aged differently, canelo didn't look any different against bivol, that against callum, kovalev, plant or saunders. He got outclassed because bivol is a better boxer than him, not because he got old nor past his prime. Not long before his fight against the Russian, his fans were dreaming about him conquering berteviev and usyk. The true is, he ain't as bad as detractors are making out to be, nor he's as great as his fans are claiming. The guy can fight and has a granite chin, he doesn't have a one punch ko, but they have to respect his power. And of course he is not fast on his feet. A boxer will tag him like Mayweather, Lara, even plant did his thing, and of course bivol. Be safe

            I’m a little behind you. How old would you say sprinters start slowing down?

              Right before their 30 birthday, for most of them a least.

                I’m 31 yrs old and I can’t run like I used to when I was in my 20’s. My times have slowed down significantly.

                  Sprinters begin to slow near 30 but endurance athletes haven't yet peaked. Boxing, depending on the style is usually somewhere in between. I think though with boxers, accumulated damage is often the bigger factor.

                    I looked up Usain Bolt. Looks like he broke the world record at 23.
                    Most men peak at 22-25.

                      If you can make $40 to $50 million for public sparring matches, you would too. hahaha. Canelo was given too much too soon and it won't stop here.
