    And, the 2 legacy defining fights that should have sent him out on a high note really reek of BS.

    I'm not going to be militant about it. If you scored Canelo winning, fair enough. The fights can be debated. But, personally I don't feel good about any of it.

    Whatever GG does from here on out, all the best to him.
    If you put everything in perspective with the Canelo drama.

    Nelo dropped the WBC belt when GGG was 34 and still a bit fresh and ducked GGG.

    Then he agreed to fight him in 2017, GGG got arguably robbed in the first fight.

    Rematch set for May 2018, Canelo got caught for PEDs twice, the fight is dead.

    GGG get a rematch in september, got short changed again, and nobody is calling Canelo out about this.

    GGG only had 1 judge for him out of the 6 judging those 2 fights, wich is a travesty IMO

      Greatly worded. Hopefully they fight again in May-- at this point, I don't want to see GGG in there with anyone else and Canelo has a whole career to fight the young guys in the division

        A third fight will likely bring more good action but the scorecards would already be filled out again. Not sure I’d be that into it just as I wasn’t into last nights fight because I knew 100% what would happen.

          This is why I've pretty much moved on to MMA. A lot less bullcrap corruption to put up with.

              I don’t watch UFC outside of maybe 4-5 fights a year and Boxing produces better action but due to the more blatant corruption, worse politics and **** fans there’s no doubt MMA is the better sport currently.

              Maybe because I watch less UFC I don’t see as much of the shadiness but I don’t hear as much of a gripe about the officiating in big matches. I don’t like MMA at all but just calling it for what it is.

                I could get behind a rematch if it were earlier (maybe February?) but I don't see it happening. G would be going in there after two controversial decisions, older and knowing he has to go for a KO right away
