I like Canelo, but....

He reminds me of Emperor Commodus in Gladiator. Like how he has to wound his opponents before taking them on.

His lovers call him King Canelo, but I think Emperor Commodus or 'Emperor' Canelo is more fitting.

[Larry the boss]

how did he wound Smith?

[MUNG]

is he sleeping with his sister?

Smith was 'wounded', meaning he was coming off a fight (vs Ryder) where he got summarily beaten and looked terrible...

[Boxing-1013]

is he sleeping with his sister?

I think we should investigate.

No. You don't like Canelo.

100% accurate, and anyone who can't admit that is a delusional fanboy. That's that this forum seems to be though.

I challenge people all the time to name the last Canelo Alvarez opponent who was coming off of a great performance against a top notch fighter. When they can't answer the question they cry and cry and call me racist names.

I do. He is a great fighter. Has some issues - like the PED stuff, but most fighters have similar issues. If he had a better gas tank, I would rate him up there with anyone really.

[DaNeutral.]

I don't mind the targeting vulnerable areas, smart tactics in a fight. It's the heavy PED use I'm not so happy with.

Yeah it's probably a formula they have...Lara, but only after Angulo showed us something...GGG, but only after Jacobs went the distance...Smith, but only after Ryder showed us the way.

I guess Trout was coming off the Cotto win, but everyone knew Trout couldn't stop Canelo, and it was open scoring. So no huge risk there either.
