OTOH, both Hopkins and Foreman were very successful way past 42, even though THEY REALLY FOUGHT throughout their careers, they didn't spend most of them running away and clinching/hugging their opponents like cowardly Jr. did during his.
So all Canelo wants is to exact revenge for his only loss in his career, that's all, it is not about Jr's age, it is about trying to minimize a stain in his record, that's all. We just saw a guy 40+ pounds lighter than his opponent (Wilder-Fury) drop him like a sack of potatoes twice. Let's say Canelo-Jr. was made at a 157-pound catchweight (fair because Jr. TOTALLY DRAINED a super-green, naive Canelo into a 152-pound skeleton in their only meeting). So if on fight night Jr. was say 152 pounds and Canelo was about 172, it still would only be about a 20-pound difference, more or less the equivalent of a 40+ pound difference in heavyweight.
If Jr. thinks he is so good, with all his cowardly trickery, hugging all the time, pushing, elbowing, sucker punching, let's see him NOW against a fearless guy who walked through the guy who was the most feared and hardest puncher of his time, GGG. This time, Canelo could easily walk through 5, 10, 15 feather-fisted "punches" from Jr., just connect one or two CLEAN punches on him and that's it. Lights out and directly to the hospital. End of Jr's career. Of course his loving minions don't want to see this happen and now they use his age as an excuse for avoiding a sure defeat!
