Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs: I'm Glad Canelo Got Caught, Tarnishes His Legacy

[DocGreenThumb.]

How is he a hater when he fights for a living you pathetic connelo groupie fan boys. He's speaking the truth but you guys still can't handle the truth about your idol. He's a juicer and many fighters are fed up with the bias special treatment that Connelo gets. Other fighters who work hard at there craft have every right to call him out. Get red balls out of your mouths and let other fighters speak their opinions without getting all moist and butthurt.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with what Jacobs said. If he sounds salty doesn't he have a right to be? In his mind, the only reason he didn't get the nod against Golovkin was to pave the way for the Canelo fight. Canelo getting caught is poetic justice when he felt that should've been the one having a rematch with Golovkin. Why should Canelo go on being the face of boxing and reap all the benefits when he's a cheater?

For sure SNAC/Conte juiced Jacobs up as well...it wasn't just his booty buddy Avocado Algerie that got him conditioned for his fight with GGG

Dang, I use to be a fan of Jacobs. Not anymore.

Why not? It's a good thing to take a swipe at a cheater to help make the sport cleaner. What's not to like?

Not sure he's the right person to talk about cheating in boxing. But he's definitely got a point about a much longer ban. Does no harm to canelo a six month ban for being a drug cheat

Why he isnt the right person?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Jacobs is right on the mark with his comments. A six month suspension is nothing. Half these guys don’t even fight twice a year. Pat on the wrist. Nothing more.

Its like a baseball pitcher getting suspended for 4 games when they pitch once every 3 games. So essentially it's a 1 game suspension

If you think Canelo won't continue to be the face of boxing and one of the biggest stars you are a fool and well you just don't follow history. Mike Tyson at the height of his fame and popularity was arrested and tried for **** of an 18 year old. Nobody's image was tarnished more then Tyson. Convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison. Sever 3 years behind bars. Everyone turned on him at the time and trashed him and said his career is over. He came out of prison a converted ****** for phuk sake and despite the outrage he was still the biggest star and draw in boxing. Hell years after the **** charge he bit a phuking mans ears off again everyone said his career was over but he was suspended from boxing only 1 year came back still the biggest draw and landed the Lewis payday 11 years after being arrested for ****. Tyson career went on over a decade AFTER **** remaining the biggest draw in boxing.

But you telling me Canelo having a 6 month suspension for small traces of a fat burner which may or may not came from the meat problem in mexico is going to end his career or popularity? This is like the clowns who years ago said Floyd's career was over after HE WENT TO JAIL for beating his kid's mother in front of his kids. Floyd came out of jail and went on to make more money and involved in bigger fights then he did BEFORE jail. Don't be shocked if Canelo comes back and makes more money and is involved in even bigger PPVs.

Jacobs better be careful! Canelo is liable to go into a roid rage if they meet up in person. So Canelo has knee surgery and his recovery is now called a suspension. Guess he can juice for most of the time off in preparation for his September showdown with GGG. Terrible how corrupt boxing is now when they protect a dirty fighter

[TyrantT316]

I don't think Jacobs needs to jump on Canelo like this...

...but I do agree that a major fine needs to hit these guys if there are no 2-4 year suspensions. It really is just a break and more recuperating time for Canelo after the hard fight that I am sure took a lot out of both men.

Canelo gets no fine, an extended vacation before making a boatload of money.

Doesn't sound like a slap on the hand. Sounds like PTO on the beach.

...A partial list of boxers who tested positive for PEDS ...Where was the over the top outrage and calls for prison sentences?

Chris Arreola, Ray Beltrán, Andre Berto, Mickey Bey, Francois, Botha, Shannon Briggs, Lucas Browne, Lucian Bute,Julio César, Chávez Jr., Andrzej Fonfara, Tyson Fury, Kid Galahad, Yuriorkis, Gamboa, Joan Guzmán, Greg Haugen, Evander Holyfield, Lloyd Honeyghan, Guillermo Jones, Roy Jones Jr., Vitali Klitschko, J'Leon Love, Ricardo Mayorga, Jameel McCline, John Molina Jr.
Érik Morales, Tommy Morrison, Shane Mosley, Luis Ortiz, Lamont Peterson, Alexander Povetkin, Frankie Randall, Brandon Ríos, Orlando Salido, Sam Soliman, Bermane Stiverne, Felix Sturm, Johnny Tapia, Antonio Tarver, Tony Thompson, James Toney, Fernando Vargas, Mariusz Wach, Pernell Whitaker, Dillian Whyte

yup great list. If Shane Mosley who was forced to admit to his STEROID use in his fight with Oscar to avoid JAIL time for perjury, literally testified under oath to the FEDS admitting to injecting steroids and his career went on like nothing happened don't tell me Canelo with small traces of clenbuterol a fat burner not steroids that is in the meat in Mexico should end his career or deserves jail. LOL

Shane went on to fight a decade after the BALCO scandal landed bigger paydays then he got before he got busted got big money fights with Floyd, Manny, Cotto, Canelo, Vargas, Margarito. No over reaction outrage for Shane to go to jail. Shane didn't even get a suspension from the commission or his fight changed to a no decision even though you can look up his deposition online admitting to taking Steroids for his fight with Oscar.
