Comments Thread For: Nacho: Canelo is Not The Best, He's Had Some Scoring Help

[Verus]

I was born a Catholic and a Union member for 33 years. A Hedge Fund bought the company where I was the union member when it was on the edge of going under. They invested, restructured the debt sold it and now we are making record profits. I'm not inclined to agree with your evaluation.

Not all Catholics are corrupt, nor all hedge funds, but my point was that there is corruption in most institutions and boxing is probably not any more corrupt than them. Two examples of corruption in the Church is the abomination of the Priests ******ing children and the Spanish Inquisition wherein people were tortured and burned alive for not believing the Catholic orthodoxy of the time. Remember it was the Church that invented water torture. As for hedge fund managers and such, let's start with the crash of 2008 and Bernie Madoff. Here is a link to an article in Forbes that puts hedge funds in perspective: https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanad.../#4757d05d3fbf

I don't think that corruption in boxing tops that.

Yeah I gave up on the Catholic Church years ago but as you say there are sincere and honest people in it along with the worst examples of humanity. The Church was given too much power by it's members who were largely uneducated. As they say "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." In countries with educated populations religion in general is in decline. They need to weed out the misfits and allow priests to marry if they are to have a resurgence which is highly unlikely. Which begs the question. Is a resurgence even a good thing?

Some losses?

No, he only deserved the L against Floyd

Against Lara and GGG I were fair result

And he definetely beat GGG in the second fight

And Canelo is a better fighter than all the fighters from U.K in the last two decades

10% thought Canelo won the first fight.

20% of the world thought Canelo won the second fight.

Good points.

20% of the world? That is about 1.5 billion people. Come one now, only a small fraction of humanity give two figs about boxing.

most people arent sure why lil g fans wont admit he lost the 2nd fight either....face all red and lit up like an xmas tree and walking out of there without an interview....his own trainer admitting he didnt win.....but here they are...till this day still acting like lil g won

canelo did a lot better second fight, was a great fight and id give it to canelo too, closer than the 1st but canelo was more in control, it was a very good fight, u have to give respect to both guys
