That's my fault. I accidentally hit "publish" too soon.

This cherry-picking coward [Canelo] will challenge the Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev winner so he can continue to duck the true action fight against David Benavidez.

-Nightfall

How in the hell picking the winner of that fight makes someone a cherry pick coward duck? Lets act both of those dudes aint better than Benavidez, the same guy that struggled with old ass Gvozdyk. Lmao these fckin guys!

Good article with well thought out responses. Not.overly critical but not sugar coating things:

"Canelo is essentially in the “retirement tour” phase of his career where he’s focusing more on money. The problem is he’s doing that while also still proclaiming himself to be one of the best in the world, yet he’s sidestepping the additional expectations and responsibilities that come with being king."

This comment is spot-on. I don't have a problem with what Csnelo is doing, it's the fact he wants his cake and eat it too (as does his fanbase). If he wants to fight easier opponents for max money, that's fine but let's be honest about what it is.

"the seemingly smaller Canelo Alvarez" Ya think! Even these old tired eyes can see that Berlanga is much bigger than Alvarez.

"That brings us back to the “why” of it all. When we bring up sportswashing, it is because Saudi Arabia — via Alalshikh and the related ent*i*t*i*e*s — is funding sporting events, and investing in leagues, with a primary goal of distracting from the ongoing narrative about the country’s leadership."

I've been saying it for months now on these pages.
BoxingScene got this one exactly right.

This is for Owen Lewis..You say that Canelo beating the likes of Berlanga a +1000 underdog doesn't rise his stock, but on the other hand you praise Inoue and never say that beating the likes of Doheny an +5000 underdog doesn't rise his stock, that is unfair and byased. Berlanga a young and strong 27 years old fighter vs a shot Doheny 37 years old. Inoue has visited the canvas twice, Canelo, never in 66 fights and 508 professional rounds.
