    So in that respect, it’s still a good win for a guy coming up from 160, despite picking the weakest champ.
    Again, was DLH and Cotto the most the dangerous fighters to Floyd in those divisions? If ''styles make fights'' then we don't know how Kovalev vs Bivol or vs Gvozdyk would've gone, we can only theorize. Kovalev showed Eleider Alvarez a new gameplan that was different from the first. Yarde went for broke walking Kovalev down. Canelo's team took advantage of what they saw even though the fight was already in place. All Kovalev had to do was beat Yarde. Yarde is a changed fighter. Because he had a poor boxing background he took too much damage and fought poorly. A bit like Feigenbutz vs Plant. If Feigenbutz was as big as Yarde to Kovale then Plant would probably still win, but Plant could've been hurt worse than in his Uzcategui fight.

    Point is, Andy Lee went throuh wars too before fighting BJS. Lemieux was stopped 3 times before meeting BJS. If we discredit Kovalev theory then it means we discredit BJS's wins too. At the end of the day all of this doesnt matter since Canelo has the better resume, and if you ask anyone, ''who should have the WBO 168 belt?'' Most would choose Canelo.

    In other words, if Canelo wants the 168 WBO, then it simply means BJS is in the way of getting it. Therefore, beat BJS and move on to unify with others..

      Close cards don't mean anything.

      You said "many people thought Eubank won"

      That's a lie. No they didn't.

      The vast majority of people thought Saunders won.

        That's not a lie, the fight could have gone either way. Saunders also ducked a rematch by the way let's not forget and fought a load of bums instead for most of his fights after that

            It is literally a lie.

            Barely anyone thought Eubank won. If anyone.

            Your statment is a lie, and a revision of history.

              You're lying. I said he was a decent stand in opponent considering he dropped andrade and gave charlo a tough fight(who you and others were hyping through the roof)

                  Saunders has done nothing in years either. He's lucky to have his 0 as well and if he fought the level of opposition that Vanes had he'd probably be on a losing streak too. Its hilarious noone rated this guy but now canelos signed to fight him he's now some master boxer who's a serious threat....GTFOH! He was lucky to beat John ryder ffs

                    Well one judge had him winning clearly so that's someone. Just admit u didn't watch the fight. It was razor close.
