Oh man, the Canelo fans are going to be all over you for this one lol. I'm just a fan of the sport, but it's on par with being Bill Cosby's defense lawyer, trying to argue him dropping the belt. "It's old news" "It's irrelevant" Uhhhhh ok. A good friend of mine at Wild Card refers to it as "the kid that keeps putting his hand on the stove" for the ones that try to defend it haha. I stay out of it.
Look, The ONLY reason Canelo is fighting Chavez is to add another name to his list of credits. He took the fight ONLY because they know they will have a severely weight drained fighter coming off a long lay off in front of him. Canelo is a media made star and in reality unproven. His list of accomplishments were made by carefully cherry picking fights. Every time he's headed for a real challenge he either loses(Mayweather) or gives up his title to prevent fighting a legitimate threat (Golovkin). Beating welterweights with weak chins or extremely weight drained opponents are not impressive. It's all about careful marketing and making money which is fine. The issue I have when his team tries to push the illusion on the public that somehow their protected fighter is invincable. I'd love to see Chavez win this fight and shut Dela Hoya up
