I think it's the square root of "pollo".

LMMFAO, that's a good one!

Meanwhile, Blindtonio Nalgarito will be on garbage patrol, picking up beer cups and throwing them away in the stadiums receptacles

jr is the definition of predictability. theres also no thought process in his game. he plants his feet and put everything he has into his punches. rudimentary at best. that shlt worked on his way up the ladder.

canelo will be teeing off at will.

No one has ever drscribed Jr as the brightest color in the crayon box, but to dismiss the nuance of his inside fighting is either hate, lack of boxing knowledge, or a mixture of both. Chavez has showed the ability to fight inside at a high level, foot work inside, stepping around, and changing angles. He also rolls punches very well when he's on the inside. Every boxer has a skill set and a style, as such every boxer is predictable. There are very few boxers who are unpredictable and thats rarely related to the skill or style, it is more often related to the fight plan, and even then that fight plan is built around the skill set and abilities of both fighters.

Canelo is a middlweight all of a sudden. What happened to getting acclimated?

No. Canelo is now a super middleweight. Middleweight limit is 160 lbs.

So you are Saying Chavez is a better challenge that Jacobs? Was Khan a better Challenge than Brook? Jacobs fight is similar to Lara, Trout fight vs Canelo. Lemiux vs GGG was a good fight on paper, but GGG is just to good.

Jacobs definitely better opponent than JCC especially at 164.5

Khan at 155 is more challenging than Brook at 160

Lara, Trout and Cotto at 154/155 are better opponents than Lemiuex or Murray

Kirkland and Angulo were as good or better opponents than Geale or Stevens

GGG has looked more impressive than Canelo, but Canelo has the stronger resume for certain. Regardless GGG will be ~3 to 1 favorite when and if they meet. Nonetheless I like Canelo in that fight

[Bjl12]

Are you ******ed? GGG Jacobs is signed, took huge money to get the Mando to sign. Canelo doesn't wanna fight GGG till September at best

Canelo and GBP have publicly offered $10 million to GGG for a fight. GGG and his team legitimized the offer (Loeffler) and also REJECTED it. Say what you want about ducking, but so far GGG/Sanchez have talked ears off but made ZERO public offers. Just marketing a la Roach/Pac/Arum.

Similarly it was GGG dragging a Top 10 WW up 13 lbs (wasn't even best at WW), offering to fight Froch/JCC at 168 but needing Ward to come to 164 (even though GGG/Sanchez called Ward out at 168), and it has been GGG avoiding Lara or anyone remotely good/his size up to this point in his career. Jacobs is first good opponent, a solid B-level fighter. Can't wait for it !

You mean like canelo just fought a glass jaw welter and a bum JMW? Said he wont fight GGG because his body isnt ready for 160 now hes fighting at 164 lmao.

Also dropped his belt like a puta
