Comments Thread For: Canelo: Loss To Mayweather Motivated Me To Become P4P Best

[skinnystev]

how can a known and convicted ped user even be considered for P4P

Your lose to money may motivated you to use PEDS.

Correction: 'Loss to Mayweather taught me his cynical business model, and how to negotiate a fight so stacked in my favour, I'd have to break my neck to lose.'

No amount of excuses will ever erase that L on your record. Stay bitter my friend!

"Whooped by GGG,", you're pretty delusional. If you think GGG won, ok, but loosening the narrative to Canelo getting whooped is stretching, those were competitive fights. Keep on point.

You can call it what you want but the first fight GGG won a min. of 8 rounds. That's whooped in my book.

The second fight, you are probably right but that was at least a draw. Canelo didn't 'win' either fight.

Either way, a P4P quality fighter does not deserve that distinction after arguably two losses in his last 5. Sorry to break it to you.

There's no boxing narrative from industries and pros that Canelo had a DRAW in the rematch. lol It doesn't exist! Only in forums. Realistic sparring sessions in the thousands of gyms worldwide, to replicate what Canelo and GGG did in the ring is RARE. You only get those types of elite fights when the best P4P go at it. Compubox has its position too because in sports you have statistics. Everyone knows it was a close fight. It was GGG's responsibilty to close those fights with power punches. He chose a different style and paid for it.

Sorry to break it to you.

Regardless of the peds, the cherry picking, the judges etc. Canelo has earned the right to claim no1 in Boxing.

Any other fighter would do the same if they could, it’s just that most don’t have the skills or backing to do so.

Loma is the only other contender for p4p but he’s not earned it by beating the same level of competition relative to his weight class as Canelo.

Actually No, Loma beat the very best fighter in like 3 weight classes. It's no comparison thus far

3 out of the 4 most imortant P4P lists have canelo number one...
Boxrec, TransnationalBoxingRanks and The Ring, the only list who doesnt have canelo as number one is the one that broadcasts Lomas fights, yeah Espn... is like DAZN having canelo at number one LMAO... but yeah those 4 are the most important lists like it or not...

The only ones that matter are ESPN and The Ring and The Ring is owned by Canelo's promoters if that tells you anything

I think both ESPN and Ring are both biased in favor of "their" fighter. Boxrec is boxrec. I think the TBRB rankings are the most unbiased and fair since they are not affiliated with any promoter.
