Congratulation to Saul Canelo Alvarez and Eddie Reynoso

There is not debate on this one. Canelo run with Eddie Reynoso in 2019 was better. Again, I am a boxing fan and I hope they don't bash me for this.

Salud! Many thought he was scared to fight Jacobs, and that he wasn't serious about 175, and he came away with 2 victories!

"So naturally, Alvarez was the overwhelming choice of the Boxing Writers Association of America as the 2019 Fighter of the Year, joining Ring, ESPN and Sports Illustrated in that selection."

I'll take these experts over the Canelo haters and their 1001 excuses.

oh, so now you want to respect the opinion of the press? You didn't want to acknowledge their opinions when only 2 of 50 press row scorecards had canelo beating ggg in the rematch. Care to explain?

[Carpe Diem]

Well deserved.

If there was any doubt as to who the face of boxing was in 2019, Canelo Alvarez answered it. The 29-year-old Mexican beat two quality opponents last year, outpointing Daniel Jacobs to unify middleweight titles in May, then jumped two weight classes to stop WBO light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev in November.

For 2019, yea Canelo deserves this award (I'll admit it even as a detractor).

Canelo was the favorite in both fights, Pac was actually the underdog against Thurman you know that right?

[pacphobia]

I'm glad he didn't win the fighter of the decade award.
