      He can bodybag 50 Saunders and imo it does nothing for him. All legends beat an elite fighter and he's never beaten an elite even a faded elite. Canelo has a far stronger resume and will always been seen as better than ggg p4p. It's too bad because years ago I thought he had the guts to go for glory. I guess he's happy destroying no names picking up vacant belts.
      come on he's done good for a bum with no reflexes at all.

        He's made about 10 million over the span of his career by beating up on journeymen and "winning" vacant belts. For that I give him kudos because he's fooled a significant amount of fans into believing his hype.

          Even if they did want Canelo suspended for cheating, how is that wrong? Only in boxing, have I ever seen "fans" criticize an athlete for not wanting to compete against a juiced up opponent. Stuff like this is why users have been saying this forum is cancer, for a while.

          Okay, so let me process this. You think GGG should've stepped into the ring with a chemically-assisted Canelo, just because you wanted to see the fight? Well, aren't you just a special little snowflake? Why would he sympathize with Canelo? Dude failed 2 tests, and if it weren't for GGG, NSAC would've kept their silence. GGG was calling out corruption in boxing, but you don't care about boxing being a clean sport, do you?

          If he didn't wanna fight, he wouldn't have negotiated with Canelo's team in the 1st place. If Canelo wanted the fight, he would've avoided Mexican beef, or stayed off the peds. If anyone's legacy is hurt, it's Clenelo's. His fans are tearing him to ribbons on social media, and De La Coka was recently raging on Twitter. Canelo even had to disable the comments on one of his IG posts, because he was getting roasted so hard. The May 5th bout isn't gonna be GGG's last. Hell, he's planning on fighting Saunders later this year. Meanwhile Clenelo's stock is plummeting.

          Please, don't call yourself a boxing fan. Any "boxing fan," who'd trash-talk a boxer for calling out their opponents on their failed tests, needs to go watch a different sport. Boxing ain't for you, my guy.

              He failed the tests that's not in dispute.

              Canelo then had practically the entire boxing community saying he's clean and it must be a poisoning/drugging situation.

              GGG raised hell to not have to fight him because maybe deep down he knew his 0 would go is all I'm saying.

                What??? Besides a few Mexican boxers who also got caught the majority of fans and fighters are calling him a cheat. Canelo had to disable his comments on Instagram because of the hate he was getting.

                  Don't forget he fought him in the first place. Just so he could avoid the rematch at any cost. All he needed was for Canelo to eat the tainted meat or knowingly take a PED. Either way, the key in all this was fighting the first fight, get a bad decision, and sit and wait for Canelo to test dirty so he could avoid the fight. Legacy tarnished. Golovkin is a GENIUS!

                    He had enough because he had to endure Canelo vacating rather than fighting him. He was called the B side even though he's the better fighter and holds the belts. He got robbed in the scoring of the first fight. His opponent fails a drug test and officially everyone rushes to Canelo's defense. No he did the right thing.
