    What does derp derp derp mean? I have never seen this word derp except in your posts. If you are going to make up your own words then explain what the words meas. Why didn't Canelo use his body attack to break down GGG,Lara, Chavez Jr., Cotto, and Mosley and knock them out? 28 body punches is not unusual. That is about 3 body punches a round. Not exactly a world record. Yes, Canelo is a very good body puncher but it looked like Kovalev lost because he didn't try to win.

      Yeah, he's done but he had one Hell of a run though. I believe that the first Andre Ward fight may have permanently broken him mentally. He has not been the same fighter since.

        You sound like a casual. Canelo was like 14 against Mosley innit? GGG fought scared against Canelo. Canelo was having fun in the Cotto fight. Canelo hit Lara on the sides in the flee. That momentum alleviates the impact. Whereas 2019 you think Canelo is the same Ring IQ or size as his earlier years? Kovalev took flush shots to the gut, dead center. Canelo had fun with Chavez Jr. He didn’t sit on his stool once. Wasn’t Canelo making a point that he didn’t need to try and make an example that he was the better Mexican fighter than Chavez Jr.? Did Chavez even get some shots in? A 1 million PPV for Chavez was smart business by GBP.

          I'd like to see him fight just one more time. Yeah, he's probably done but I said that after Eleider Alvarez got him and he managed to rally back and win the rematch convincingly, and then had a good showing against Yarde. Sure, the Canelo knockout was really humiliating but I had him up on the scorecards slightly at the point it was stopped, and there's a lot that's weird and anomalous about that fight. He's well past it now and time is probably up for him, but I'd like to see him take one more fight to confirm that. Of course, the courts might just settle that matter regardless.

            I believe he will try to challenge for WBO title again. I also believe Vlasov and Salamov both beat him.

              Yup. And then Canelo went upstairs
