I like Canelo, but....

[Apollo7]

If you wanted to, you could pick apart almost any boxers career. Just look into it hard enough and pick and choose the facts that you want to make your case, intentionally ignore the facts that don’t support your case. I’ve seen it done with regards to all top fighters. You name it. Crawford. Canelo. Mayweather. Pacquiao. Spence. GGG. Fury. Tank. Lomachenko.

All great fighters. Top guys. We should be thankful that we get to witness highly skilled boxers. You don’t have to watch all of them or be a fan of all of them. Yes. I understand that they all have flaws. You might not like their boxing style. None of them are perfect fighters. They will all have off nights and they aren’t always going to be boxing top ranked guys. That’s not always going to happen in this era. To tear down their entire careers or pick apart their resume and call them ‘bums’ or ‘pretenders’ or ‘fake champions’ is disgusting and I question if some of you are actually boxing fans.

I’m not accusing the thread starter by any means, but I see where this is going and this happens in just about every damn thread in NSB.

Good post.

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.

- -U boohooing again?

[just the facts]

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.

Bu!!shyte! You're a PROVEN ggg fanboy.

You're a pretty level headed poster except when the thread has anything even remotely related to ggg.

who tf calls him "king canelo" ??

I like Canelo because I like boxing and I love seeing great fighters fight. It's not personal to me in the least bit. I may have thought that Fury messed with the gloves against Wilder, and that there are good chances that he was on something against Klitschko, but I will never miss one of his big fights. He's my favorite heavyweight hands down and my favorite boxer in the game now.

And that's the difference between me and you.

Thank you for the compliment. In what way am I too high on GGG? He's had a dominant run at MW. I think people don't appreciate how impressive he was vs other good pros.

It isn't easy to dominate like he did vs other good pros. Odds are you have a bad night or a bad matchup. And I never saw him lose a fight. The only one that was close was vs Derevy.

That's not fawning praise, just objective analysis. I've said many times I would have liked him to have moved up to challenge himself, post Canelo fights anyway.

All of his fans, really. Or many of them.

I've watched more Canelo fights live, from start to finish, than any other fighter. Active or retired.

So what exactly was your point again?

I wasn't hating on the guy. Just saying that people don't analyze fighters or fights objectively.
