Canelo - GGG III Hypothetical Question

[kingofthieves]

Let’s say the 2nd fight goes through (as expected) with Canelo vs. GGG in spite of the controversy.

Let’s say Canelo somehow wins clearly or even by KO. Some fans would be (fairly) outraged due to the positive clen results (even if minimal). It would leave question marks and that would tarnish his win.

Canelo not being able to get credit at this stage is also a lose-lose scenario at this point imo.

However, IF the controversy from a Canelo win sparked a 3rd fight and they both tested clean during all the testing leading up to the 3rd fight, would that then be fair enough to give clarity on a clear winner? The better of the two fighters on an even playing field where both sides of fans can agree, the dust has settled and we have one consensus middleweight kingpin?

I really hoped that this 2nd fight would have a clear winner and no controversy. If Canelo even loses but doesn’t get ko’ed people can say the clen helped him not get ko’ed lol.


Thoughts?

You’re absolutely right! This is truly a lose-lose situation for everyone, including the fans. A third fight with all parties agreeing on the cleanliness of the bout, so to speak, is the best case scenario.

You might be right but regardless Nelo won the 1st fight clearly & is the better boxer clearly. That's why some lil g fans jumping off the bandwagon & picking Nelo to win the 2nd fight....its funny....They both should be tested from now all the way to the fight & right after the fight.

lose lose situation.

if there is a 3rd fight and canelo beat ggg clearly with testing involved. aint no ggg fan is gonna admit canelo beat ggg fairly. the peds will always get brought up and canelo is the only one to be blame for this.

[omh]

Canelo was never gonna get credit for beating him before the test.the same people who hyped ggg are the same ones who would say who did ggg beat? and he's an old shot fighter
