To be fair I knew Rios and Algieri had ZERO % chance of winning. Vargas has a REALLY good chance (At this older Pac) than ANYONE of those other 2. I'm a actually going to buy that fight! Trust me it's gonna be a REAL good fight! And MexiCAN's always bring out the best in Pac.

Yeah for sure I don't expect fighters to constantly run through a gauntlet but Canelo inherited the Mexican holidays and he fought Khan & Smith. Come on that's doo doo
And I don't think Canelo runs through Brook like GGG did I actually think that's a evenish fight. But yeah I'll agree Brook had the wrong game plan for Gennady
I'm sorry I just don't think Brooks punches would faze Canelo. And if he tried going toe-to-toe like Kirkland did he would get rocked. Too much size difference. Kirkland hits a lot harder than Brook does and Canelo surprised me on how good he took those punches. Go back and watch that exchange. And you'll see what I'm talking about.Comment

Not at 154 or under like Canelo had to do.Comment

Don't fotget the WORST offense of ALL!!! Both fights were on PPV. I bought KahNelo just to see Khan get bambi-legged. Didn't think I would almost see him lose his head though! I felt very sorry for Khan. I was soo glad to see he was ok.

We'll disagree about whether Brook / Canelo would be close but agree with you Canelo has a great beard one of his under rated qaulities in my opinion.Comment

this. Yes canelo is blatantly ducking GGG (and hes not the only one, Cotto and Sergio did the same). But his resume is pretty good and hes also taken on lara and trout which were both high risk low reward fights. He could have easily avoided those fights without any criticism from casual fans.
GGG on the other hand hasnt fought anybody worth a chit and is what, 35 years old and has ducked lara and ward. Hasnt made any attempts to get bigger fights. Floyd had to give into all of DLH's demands to make that fight. Canelo had to give into all of Floyd's demands to get that fight. GGG cant ***** that nobody wants to fight him if he isnt willing to go after the big fights.Comment
