    I am not talking before, I am sure he is juiced and they found a loophole in the system. No one goes from poor stamina to king of the stamina men in a bout.

      It's obvious you don't like Canelo that's fine. But stating ******ed things about stamina...

      Give a round in any two Canelo fights of your choosing where you state Canelo has poor stamina to the ''king of the stamina men'' whatever that means! lol

      give it a try! good luck.

        Somewhat. I was just thinking about this the other day just because of the tainted Mexican meat excuse, which has happened with other fighters and it turned out to be tainted meat.

        But there is always the possibility that he cheated so I chose somewhat

          They definitely did Trout dirty. That fight was WAY closer than what the official judges had. I remember I had Trout winning by a point when I watched it live. And obviously the GGG fight outcomes. I still think it should probably be 1 win a piece between them.

            Somewhat. It supports the general sense for many that Canelo and Goldenboy are cheaters.

            The PEDs suspension will always be there. In itself, it's not that big of a deal, but along with the several fights where Canelo received highly questionable, and in some cases eye-opening judges' cards, and along with the obvious and well-documented character flaws of Oscar DLH, it contributes to an overall sense -- for a good number of people, not for everyone -- that Canelo was cheating in every way he could.

              Not much. Erik Morales tested positive for Clenbuterol too and I don't think anybody would say that it hurt his legacy. People don't like to hear it but tainted meat is an actual problem in Mexico. If Canelo had tested positive for HGH or Stanozolol it would be different.

                His body looked so different for the rematch. Smaller than when he was at 155.

                Erik morales was retiring ffs who gave a ****.

                  Very true. Canelo appeared to be a guy who had to pace himself and had quite a low work rate...., then all of a sudden his stamina changed completely. I remember how surprised I was to see that.....Interestingly, I haven't even thought much about that lately, but now that you mention it, I'm kind of surprised just how easy it is to forget something that was so outstandingly obvious. Come to think of it, I've pretty much put Canelo's PED conviction out of my mind too.

                    Today's fighters future legacy seems to rest more upon their earnings than their accomplishments or talents. PED use or allegations don't appear to have hurt Holyfield or Jones' legacy. I doubt Canelo's will be tarnished all that much, especially if he continues to win going forward. Even if some of those "wins" are gifts along the way.

                      Instead of talking poopoo like always, check my old posts. It is clear you know nothing about medicine.
