    Losing to Floyd, Bivol and Crawford wasn’t embarrassing in any way.

    Testing positive for PED’s, delaying a rematch after a terrible draw that was a loss is what was embarrassing.

      Canelo made over a hundred millions of dollars in a mega-fight that was watched by 40 million people - an unthinkable number for a (non-gimmick) boxing match - and the fight was really good.

      Canelo is not embarrassed.

        Well, maybe he is, just a teensy-weensy bit, but not too much!

          He made 100+ million dollars.

          It can hardly even be called a loss man.

              The GGG saga proved beyond any doubt that Canelo has no shame:
              1. Threw his WBC middleweight belt in the trash to duck GGG the first time around
              2. Got a gift draw in a fight he clearly lost in the 1st fight
              3. Popped for PEDs before the second fight, causing a delay and causing GGG to get stripped of the IBF belt for not fighting Derevyanchenko on short notice
              4. Got a gift win in a fight he clearly lost in the 2nd fight
              5. Waited the older man out for FOUR MORE YEARS and dragged him up another weight class before giving him the trilogy

              After that nonsense, a loss to Crawford doesn't even register on the embarrassment scale. He ducked a version of GGG that was at the end of his prime, lost twice and got bailed out by corrupt judges against a past-prime GGG, popped for PEDs, and then waited until GGG was completely and totally washed before he picked up a boring 8-4 win in the trilogy.

                  Roberto lost that fight but his performance elevated his all time standing anyways

                    He ducked the #1 at his weight class, kept fighting no hopers, small guys or undeserving foos. Caught up to him finally. FTP Ginger

                      Yup...Bud certainly did his homework and took him to school on fight night. However, the version of Canelo he faced was faded and had been through multiple wars and REALLY lost 3-4 times. Still, it was a great victory nonetheless as jumping up 2 weight classes to defeat a HoF fighter is NO joke.
