    Canelo winning was best for the sport of boxing

    1. He's younger

    2. He's shown he will challenge himself and fight the best.


    Can't say the same about GGG who has never taken a risk in his career. We were told anybody from 154-168 but it was really only Floyd at 154 and Froch or Chavez Jr at 168. Even guys moving up like Brook and Vanes had to fight 160 instead of meeting at a catchweight like 157. His whole U.S. career was about chasing a payday. The most telling part was after the Jacobs tough close fight he shut everything down. He had a fight signed with Saunders but instead of taking the risk he shut everything down in hopes of a Canelo fight, which he got. Even this last go round when Canelo failed a drug test the fans wanted to see him face a hungry young lion like Dervy. But GGG didn't want to take that risk and said it wasn't enough money to fight that fight.

    Fans claim they want the best to fight the best but they don't like guys who actually do that, like Canelo and Ward.

    We know for a fact we will see Canelo fight the biggest and best names going forward. He's never ducked anybody and never backed down from a challenge.


    Say less GGG fans

    If he was under any other promoter, yeah, it would be. Fishnets is a different story. Floyd not getting UD was enough for me

    LOL @ 32 y.o Dervy being a young lion

          32 is young in boxing these days. They don't consider you old until you hit about 35. People seem to forget fighters were out of the sport by that age back in the day. Look at the top fighters today and the vast majority are 30+

            28-31 sounds more like prime best mix of physical conditions and experience

              They would be ****** to sign anything related to Oscar. That's what I thought about Golovkin when he agreed to first fight - he's ******. I was never hyped up about the first fight for a reason

                  Kind of feels like the gloating has surpassed the complaining tbh. Canelo just became champion in a very solid Middleweight era so there is a lot I am really interested in seeing.

                    Better for the sport, GGG was a vehicle driven by Loeffler and Abel to 'get rich quick' - Canelo is younger and will actually face ALL the quality opposition that is available
