If you've seen BJS's last two fights you're not betting or fantasizing that BJS is going to ''outpoint.''

Do you mean ''you're only as good as your LAST fight...''

If that's what you mean, it's only a saying. You can't always take sayings to the bank, and MANY fighters only rise to the level of their competition. I'm not concerned about BJS' ability in this fight.

Yeah but I said last two fights. And BJS keeps rating his performances C+ or B- performances. That could just mean that he’s not tip top anymore. Remember he has a promoter and a network and suffered a PED felony. It would be wise of him to protect himself. It’s all money. Isn’t that obvious?

BJS has shown to be a good boxer. But how much did that have to do with performance-enhancing substances. That's one question. The other question is can he get a decision by putting on a boxing masterpiece. Doubtful…

Both BJS and Nelo has substance abuse issues...

This is a biz after all. Can't blame a fighter for trying to get the most $$ they can. Afterall, the career is short, then not many options unless they turn out to be a good, sought after trainer... or a commentator. Only a small percentage end up with either. But like I said, I'm not worried about BJS performance vs Canelo. Both will be ready as possible, and it's a good matchup talent-wise. I just don't think BJS gets the nod even if he wins on points.
