    You really should go to boxrec and actually see some of the cans, soft touches and cherry picks Canelo fought in world title fights before you brag him up so much. He fought in 154 pound world title fights against cans like mediocre career welterweights Alfonso Gomez, Matthew Hatton and Josito Lopez. He also defended his 154 pound title against washed up 39 year old Baldomir who had 12 losses and equally washed up 41 year old Mosley. Then as middleweight champion he fought glass jawed welterweight Khan who never won a world title above 140. When it comes to fighting cans and cherry picks with a world title on the line Canelo has GGG beat by a mile. All you GGG hating Canelo lovers can't find a single washed up 39 year old or 41 year old that GGG ever fought with a world title at stake. Go ahead and try.
    ...is this a joke?

    Canelo didnt fight in the amateurs and turns professional ar 15 years old.

    Canelo was world champ at 22 years (not 31 like Borat). Canelo fought the greatest of this generation at 22 and didnt cry about the catchweight. Instead - like a REAL CHAMP - he used the loss to improve and he beat the KAZAKH outta BORAT in that 2nd fight....mainly why Borat won't take the 3rd fight.

    Canelo literally has the single best resume in ALL OF BOXING aside from Pacman. Literally the SINGLE BEST RESUME and you cry that he skipped the amateurs altogether and became a pro at 15 years old.

    Goddamn Borat fans are ******. I literally feel happy when I see Borat embarass himself or get whooped in the rematch, lose to Dervenchenko, cry about judging, and duck good fighters. Like it literally makes me feel good.

    Sucks yall have nothing to feel good about lol

      That's because top fighters have set minimums per fight and those fights won't make that. When you're making 3mil a fight why fight more than 2 times a year? That's pretty much the reason... it used to be done before because fighters didn't get paid at the top like they do now.... who's gonna shell out that kind of money for no return?

        Your able to convince the average Joe youre the next Mike Tyson since most people won't know the opponent you're blasting away never stood a chance in the first place. Free fights get so much more views than PPV, the most watched PPV fight is at 100 Million views while the most watched freely broadcasted fight is at 2 BILLION (half the world population at the time), of course when youre fighting someone your own level you can use these newfound fans to massively boost your PPV sales.
        Why cant guys like Spence/Crawford do this? Their fanbase could certainly use a boost
        That's exactly what Crawford does... faded former champs, b class or lower trinket holders, and bums is all he fights. Crawford is an overrated hype job cherry picker. His welterweight resume is pure dog **** for a supposed top p4p fighter and welterweight. Jeff Horn, peg legged Jose Bumavidez, washed up glass jaw Amir Khan, and Eurobum Mean Machine. Can crushing is Crawford's favorite thing to do while bull****ting his moronic bunboys into believing he wants all da smoke and to fight the best. Crawford re-signed with Top Rank and ESPN exclusivity to duck top fighters and crush cans for good guaranteed $ while protecting the glass chin he's packing.
