    froch and calzaghe would just be more names to a LONG list for canelo

    he beat up so many, they criticize him for beng so hard on them
    No, you're completely blind. Froch would have stay with ginger to the end and probably reynoso would have throw in the towel, and joe would have slap gingers face from beginning to the end. There's not one british fighter on canelo's resume that can be compare to any of those two. Actually, I don't think canelo would have sign the dots to fight neither of them.

      This deserves a deep dive. Thanks for the tip.

        Pot calling the kettle black. Froch was as overrated as a fighter could get.

            If anything I'd say he was and still gets underrated.
            He was underdog in a lot of his fights and written off, had a great career but is always picked against in fantasy fights.

              Haha, he had videos of the WTC collapses even though he missed the peak of the "truth movement" by about two decades. Qualified architects from all over the world have studied the reason for the collapses, but of course some semi-literate imbecile with a YouTube video knows better.

                but when canelo enters the room, froch is giddy ,

                he looks over at the crowd gathering, and he steps away from the conversation he's having, he wants to see what its all about (proof below)





                canelo taking care of his fans

                  It's great that the Americans in this thread continue the American boxing fan tradition of living in the 1980s

                  "Euro bums" isn't a phrase you hear often in the last 35 years but NSB keeps it alive with it's deluded yank fans who still believe the US is the center of boxing lol. It's like Roy Jones Junior just beat Ruiz last week

                      I don't think Canelo's skills are overrated, though his opponent choices often leave you scratching your head. Though in the mind of Canelo, his selection has been brilliant. Facing a bunch of no hopers. Taking usually minimal damage and receiving massive paychecks. That is business first mindset and he's king at that. Though as far as legacy goes, I'm not sure he's doing much for it. Again, it's a shame because I do find him quite a skillful boxer.
