    I know you're serious, and that's the funny part.

        Silly nonsense. Where are the others who fought your idol Floyd? Did they become superstars too? Where are they now? Where is Berto, Ortiz, Guerrero, etc.?

          You made a claim and you need to back it up with examples. Why is this even difficult to do?

              Because I find it funny that you think otherwise.

                I see. That's why people need to be careful in making claims they can't back up. It's one lesson to be learned. Kids say the darnedest things, but they're kids.

                    There were no stand outs to me, is a decent fighter sure, but then you get into the sweepstakes everytime he is making "a decision" on who he is going to fight like he is the most important fighter in boxing, then he fights guys who are not able to give the man a real challenge and the way he is written about and .....let those that follow him follow him he is not the driver of boxing.
                    He's not hated, I think that the non believers in his prowess, me included, are fvking with the believers because they're so blind and easy to pick. It's more about the fanboys that the guy. People that knows boxing and have common sense can see what he is and has done in the past, corrup or incompetent judges, playing along with the corrupt organizations, just to make a buck. Can you believe he hasn't fight a mandatory for the WBA, WBC and IBF in three years, and the WBO mandatory appeared out of thin air, ryder. His fans keep finding excuses and we keep fvking with them.

                      On a more serious note, do you think there will never be any Canelo without favoritism? How do you think it will play out when the Mexican superstar retires?
