Lmfao come to think of it, Pacquiao's win over Barrera when he was around Canelo's age is greater than anything Canelo has ever done or probably will ever do.
If Canelo became pro at 15, great for him, very brave indeed, but if you live in a country with a good amateur program for the best fighters in the country, why you wouldn't stay amateur before you are ready?
So i think that Canelo becoming pro at 15 was a brave decision, but nothing to brag about because if lived in a country with a good amateur program he probably wouldn't have made that decision.
Canelo made a sacrifice of 2 pounds to fight Mayweather, it's not like he was Khan against him or Brook against Golovkin, kinda weakened him, but he never had a great stamina and would have been schooled even with that 2 pounds.
He picked Smith because he was the easiest fight, so nothing to discuss here and i believe it was a better fight on the paper than most people.
Why he was the b-side on the Cotto fight?.
The Trout and Lara fights weren't risky fights, they weren't to knocking him out and there wasn't a chance of them winning by points.
He can be 26, 49 or 17, if you are saying you are the best boxer in the WORLD, you should fight the best, that's it, if he wants to fight low level fights, he can go and sign with Al Haymon and become Danny Garcia 2.0, but if he keeps saying that he is that good, he can prove it and if you think that his age is that much a factor, at 26, Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike Tyson, Oscar Dela Hoya, Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones and Manny Pacquiao, all the best fighter of their time, did have better wins that Canelo.
I forgot to answer the real question.

I was always a fan of Canelo. Liked his fighting style and the fact that he fought Trout, Lara, Floyd.. The Golovkin saga made me dislike him. I have no problem with him not wanting to fight GGG but atleast admit that you arent ready. Saying that he would put on the gloves right now and that mexicans dont *** around then leave the belt and the division made him look bad
Give up his belt without a fight. I've never heard of such a thing.
A few boxers have done that before. But none of them called his mandatory challenger into the ring after a fight and promised to fight him next - and then gave up his belt.
