Now that I think about it, Canelo beating Chavez Jr is an ATG win.

[QballLobo]

Wouldn’t call it a great win. Two big name Mexican fighters helped the hype.
All Canelo did was give Jr. the ass whipping his daddy should have given him years ago.

Looks around here and wonders "Why is anyone even entertaining this bullshhh?" and back out slowly...

He absolutely would not. Leave it to GGG and BJS fanboys to overrate someone like Lemieux

Are you kidding me. You answer with item #4 in the hand book of how to discredit Golovkin.
#4. No matter how improbable in might appear to rational people discredit his opponents and don't stop. If you meet continued resistance someone will be along shortly to back you up.

I always wondered why canelo didn’t KO Chavez. Maybe he got pressured by outside forces to carry him 12. Considering his godfather was suliaman and his baby mama was tied to the cartel. I never really thought it was Chavez chin, always felt it was canelo bit pursuing the KO and trying new things out on a no hoper.

That occurred to me also watching the fight. I discounted it at the time but you're right it did seem odd.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Yes he did.

He fought at junior middlweight against Smith, then fought at Super middleweight against Chavez Jr

ATG Win Confirmed

164 is not super middleweight Sir

164 is not super middleweight Sir

Yes it is sir.

anything between 160 and 168 is super middleweight.

Canelo dared to be great by jumping up two weight classes

So when he fought at 155 he was a Middleweight.

That's not really important.

What's important is that he beat the guy with ease that effectively damaged a prime Sergio Martinez beyond repair.

Ahhhh, what is really important is that they might have paid Chavez to loose. The way he fought....

op is on drugs, delusional, just kidding, ???? WTF is this thread?
