    Canelo. When you step up in the ring with him, you already know you are gonna lose a decision, unless your name is Mayweather jr.

    Canelo has a great chin and he can`t be stopped unless he faces a prime huge puncher, but that is unlikely.

      I think this a hard thing to quantify, especially at the minute during covid. Sure there are guys who aren't fighting the calibre of opposition that they should, but how many of those aren't fighting because they're being protected vs. how many aren't fighting because of money or politics? Far more of the latter than the former, surely.

        Yeah that's why Wilder was bragging about AJ begging to fight him.

        Fury's only been back a minute, Wilder thought he could cherry pick him early LMAO.

          - -TUE 51-0.

          Still employs his security platoon of 300lb beefcakes as he plots his umpteenth emergence from retirement for easy $.

            And it's also worth noting these days their is more angling towards big fights being made as big as they can be which looks like protecting fighters but is simply about maxing out the profit.
            I agree with this. A lot of times, I think you could see promotional differences getting in the way of a lot of potential fights. I think there are a lot of fights that start getting made and they don’t even get past the first stages of discussion before one side backs out. They are just talked about and that’s it. Never far enough to even tell the media.

                  Every fighter is entertaining to be honest but we all have preference and what we look out for in a fighter.
                  That's why different fighters have different/similar fans.
