I recently watched Toney v Mccallum for the MW title. Great fight, great division. Selling Khan Job-Alvarez as a championship fight is about par for the course in boxing these days. Amir is not even a legitimate WW. He's just another Arab on a suicide mission.

I still cant believe that people still think that Canelo is a legitimate champion, he lost to trout and lara, with Cotto was a draw, he is just a paper champion, WTH is that about if someone wants to fight him has to be on his terms and weight, that's why there are weight divisions, either you fight in one or the other, weight does mater, if it didn't mater why not fight GGG at the full weight, he obviously weights more than GGG on fight night, also if weight didn't mater the Cotto fight would be another entirely, he is just a diva on her period and DLH is just changing and choosing her tampons.Comment

Canelo on fight night comes in over 170 lbs Khan is going to get hurt if he gets caught with something solid. Khan really needs to stick and move like what mayweather did if he wants to winComment

No Matter how Hard you Push, this is a shiiiit fight
Khan, Bradley, good God, Pac Man.
Canelo ever steps in with Charlotte, Andrade, Suanders, Jacobs, GGG or even Lemiux, he's ****ed and GBP knows it.
The only motion going on is the general awareness by fans that Canelo is turning out to be the very thing he once railed again.
In Khan he's fighting yet another too small, highly inactive fighter.
Angulo, Trout, Kirkland, all coming off of bouts of inactivity.
That's fine. I could care less how the fight sells. That's not why I watch boxing. I see two top fighters going head to head, with an unfortunate weight disparity between the two. That's he only loop hole here.
I'm not like you, you're a TMT numbers junky basing fights off sales.
I watch boxing., not sorry.
Come on, how many ludicrous scores does one fighter get before it becomes clear the judges are being picked.Comment

Thats probably true. If Canelo vs Khan happened at 140, 147, 154 or 160, assuming both guys could get to those weights, Khan would probably get KTFO.Comment

According to Compubox, which is not reliable by any means BTW, but if we still take them seriously, well, yes, Trout and Lara landed a bit more than Canelo. BTW Cotto landed way less. The three guys got pummeled by Canelo the times he got them clean, specially in the body. Those clean devastating punches that DO HURT and stun the opponent, do count more than tons of weak jabs (Cotto and Lara) or pillow-fisted half-hearted quick punches (Trout). Trout was a warrior and he paid dearly by getting knocked down once, and hurt several times. Both Lara and Cotto, as soon as they felt the power of Canelo, rode the bycycle all fight and still, they got caught by very powerful clean punches specially in the body. Of course, they never dared engage Canelo, like Trout mistakenly did. Floyd himself dared stay in the pocket the first few rounds, but as soon as Canelo caught him semi-clean a couple of times, Floyd felt his power and from that point on, he rode the bycicle just as Lara and Cotto did later on. And BTW, Lara's fight night weight was similar to Canelo's and he still ran all fight to avoid getting punched, the minute he felt Canelo's power.
Canelo never got hurt, not even close, by any of these guys. Neither did he vs. Floyd. Probably the only guy who has actually hurt him a bit was Angulo, because his punches are similarly hard, but he is way slower and less accurate.
You have to learn that this is not the Olympics, the quality and power of the punches, hurting and stunning the opponent DO COUNT, as opposed to just counting who landed more punches even if these were mostly weak jabs.Last edited by sterilizer; 03-12-2016, 03:55 PM.Comment

Canelo has lost his power at 154. He won't have any power at 160. This is why he is intent on fighting 147ers or weaker 154ers.

Boxing, what we've seen from Canelo lately is more akin to the WWF, scripted events with predetermined outcomes.
Come on, how many ludicrous scores does one fighter get before it becomes clear the judges are being picked.
