I mean I wish I wasnt serious but this is what Canelo does. 5 years ago it would have been insane to think Canelo would beat GGG. Yet if you look at boxing history books, that's what they say happened. If you can control when and where a fight takes place, the talent gap of the boxers doesn't really matter at this moment in time, because if the weaker of the two is the one deciding when the fight takes place, and that boxer has no sense of legacy or fairness only what will benefit them, then they will make sure the fight doesn't take place at this moment in time when they are weaker and would lose. They will wait for the moment when they can either win, or at least make it so that they can get the win by other means. Wait until the gap closes enough that it's close enough for the ref and judges to bridge the remaining gap and put you on top.
So I wish I wasn't being serious, but Canelo and other boxers this generation have done this before, so why should I think it won't happen again? This era is already clownworld with Canelo "beating" GGG, Floyd getting a decision over Pacquiao with both fighters having barely a scratch on them, Ward knocking out Kovalev, and so on and so forth. Why shouldn't I expect that before the era is over, Tank Davis will have knocked out a 34 year old Lomachenko (featherweights decline way faster than bigger fighters), Canelo will have beaten Gvozdyk or Beterbiev at 175, or Bivol at 168 if they find out through whatever means, maybe consult some sport scientist or something, that Bivol actually can't make 168 healthy at all no matter what he THINKS he can make, Deontay Wilder will have beaten Tyson Fury maybe retire 51-0 like it's some big thing, and so on and so forth.
This era has proven that if the boxing establishment wants the North American star to win every single big fight vs the foreign star, they can pretty much make sure it happens every single time just by controlling when the fights take place, where, and under what drug testing. Control those three factors, you control the outcome of the fight 99% of the time. The talent of the fighters, prime vs prime, is irrelevant.
