This was a great watch. As a Canelo fan I feel this is a pretty balanced view of his abilities. You're absolutely right about Canelo being the last of a dying breed. We're into the era of the social media boxers now...
@@hughmungus1235 you beta fangirls do realize your Mexican PED using hero Canelaroid fought bums for thise email belts though? You do realize that right? Who has he beaten that has a better resume than Manny Pacquiao? People remember names not email belts. Floyd is still better Keep crying beta fangirls
smfh........ Your only as good as the competition you are fighting........... Last 5 fights..... Nowhere near Elite ! You might of said that to get attention tho, I get it..!!
@@luisudiaz4231 Then how about now? Caleno wasn't as good before as he is now, Floyd Mayweather Laura and GGG would go to sleep now since he gets better every time
Canelo has been lucky with a few decisions but you just can't take away from the fact that He is fast, he hits hard, he has a wonderful range of punches, his body shots are awesome, and he can take a punch. One of the most exciting boxers ever.
Yes, he kind of reminds me of Oscar de la Hoya, don't get me wrong, but I didn't like Oscar too much, I know he defeated some good Mexican boxers, and I mean good ones, including Julio Cesar Chavez, but I think Canelo would beat De la Hoya if they were fighting around the same time
@@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365 Depends on who you ask. It’s easy to look at the fight overall and say GGG outperformed Canelo. But boxing isn’t scored overall is it? It’s scored per round. It’s not 1 fight. It’s 12 individual fights. And when you separate each round into it’s own instance, it’s much easier to argue a win for Canelo. In a similar fashion, you could argue GGG won too. It could’ve gone either way. But to say GGG got robbed is complete bull shit. You won’t catch any true boxing fan saying some dumb shit like that.
I think canelo expected his punches to have more of an effect on bivol, he wasted a lot of them hitting the wrong places, got gassed and frustrated but the better man won that night, still doesn’t take away from Canelos legacy, all ATGs have losses and some even avenged them (ala Lennox Lewis) hopefully Canelo will come back stronger and even better then he was already. Respect to both champs!
Me being from Puerto Rico i always enjoyed the rivalries in boxing we have had with Mexico and Canelo is the real deal. Definitely a throwback fighter that we probably won't ever see again. Instead of hating on him like all these wannabe boxing analysts that we got on U-Tube, appreciate it cause ain't no fighter including the retired Floyd puts it in on the regular, not fighting just once a year but 4 to 5 times a year. To me thats a legend in the making.
When was the last time time he fought 4 or 5 times times in a year? Only up and coming fighters do that , you talking about a 147 lb or 154 lb canelo? Lol
The most shocking paart about him is his ability to adapt, overcome and win against every single style you throw at him: He has beat power punchers, slick defensive fighters, people who rely on jabs, bigger and smaller opponents, slower and faster oponents, leftys, and the fact that he can always come up with a plan and no matter their style and attributes, beat them. That is something you gotta recognize.
How many times was rza going to say digital or the word Bobby in his music. His beats were dope but his lyrics lacked on some tracks of his solo albums.
Man. Im so glad someone is finally bringing this up. This new attitude that casual boxing fans have is irritating to high hell. Im so sick of people calling fighters "taxi drivers" from the comfort of their computer chairs.
tbh I dont think all the Jake Paul circus stuff helps either in that regard. Now that the guy knocked out a professional champ and brought in a lot of casuals, I assume
Casuals make boxing more entertaining, we have to teach them about previous greats who did it better , hopefully they will be fans forever and not disappear when their favorite fighters retire
The issue I have is, 80% of pro boxers are using something. Yet on Canelo gets mentioned. Also he beat the top fighters he could at the time. There was no ducking.
Yup. And it's been going on for a while now. I can't even blame them. As long as it doesn't hurt them, it's their life and there's lots of money involved
You didn't mention that the concentration of chlembuterol on canelo was .7, and the current concentration for PED use is above 5, which confirms the case of contaminated meat, wada even put a minimum concentration level, which previously didn't have, they just tested any concentration as possitive. edit. I changed the concentrations since apparently I did not remembered them correctly, but that does not change the fact that it was below the threshold.
@@demanso1 well, not everything, we do have certified meat and clean water, but yes, it's weird for us that people in other countries drink from the valves.
As a Mexican boxing fan i thought he was a hype job for the longest time but at one point u have to give him credit for improving almost every fight. At one point you have to admit, even if they media hyped him he grew in to truly one of the great boxers of our time.
@@strafer8764 I just thought it was an important perspective considering Mexican fans tend to get a rep for being blinded by Mexican boxers. You don't have to take it personally.
It is tough to call one guy the greatest outside of eras and weight classes, especially with so many great Mexican boxers in history. Chavez, Sanchez, Finito, Canelo, all amazing fighters. Marquez Barrera Morales and others as well.
All the OTHER Mexican boxers DIDN'T DO WHAT CANELO HAS ACCOMPLISHED..SO NOT TOUGH..CHAVEZ FOUGHT MANY GUYS WHO HAD MORE LOSSES THAN WINS""AND MANY ONLY HAD 16 FIGHTS WITH 9 LOSSES..I KNOW .I WAS A FAN AND SEEN ALL HIS FIGHTS.BUT NO ONE WIL TALK ABOUT THAT..I AM NOT BIAS,SO WILL BRING THAT UP
@@freddiesandoval5047 the only thing those legendary Mexican boxers have over Canelo is that they fought multiple brutal fights with blood on the canvas. I love all my Mexican fighters, players, and people. We breed warriors and have the culture of warriors.
@@joahanramirez5811 True to that, but the thing is I don't enjoy that type of fighting, I like more the sweet science of boxing, hit and not get hit which is an unpopular opinion, many people like bloody battles which is more the mexican style. But to each their own
As others have mentioned, your production, editing & narration are all top notch. Whether people agree with your opinions or not, for someone like myself who has no feelings either way on the matters brought up, you did enough to convince me that everything you said was based on fact or when that was not possible, your reasons for your conclusions. I think too many so called 'professional boxing pundits' would be hard pressed to back up their statements with anything other than their basic prejudice towards them. You admit to your prejudices & then go on to explain why despite them, you still come to the conclusions you reach. It's pretty easy to come to a choice between your opinion and those journalists/pundits in deciding what to believe & you win hands down.
I have to say not bad on the negative listed on Canelo's history compared to all the others who's list goes endless . I think Mayweather would win them all 🤭
Canelo isn't a dying breed. It is possible for talented fighters to unify titles. Its just that the present Corporate sector managing boxing has contractually tied up boxing. So Boxers cannot Unify Titles and monopolize a lions share of profit margins like the past and upset TMT lol.. Canelo outsmarted them (as a private agent) and has an outstanding commodity not even mentioned on this video. His efficiency, as a Fighter. This is a quality few other Fighters in America expand upon. Efficiency is the ability to pursue an offensive plan at any given moment and deviate due to a split second unforseen circumstance. Where a modified angle, different punch, by a different hand, thrown in a different direction, at a different target exposes itself. Which presents a new opportunity to seize upon because it also demands less energy with a greater maximal impact for harm. Canelo is a Master at efficiency when moving forward. I've seen it, understood it, and been a student of the ring to know. After 48 fights, I can see its impact. Canelo is the best pound for pound fighter in the world at the moment. No doubt about it..
The hate is not (IMO) about Canelo.IT’S ABOUT THE HATERS FEELING inferior, jealous, insecure, bitter, envious, angry and all the other negative adjectives they carry around until they can find somebody to dump on…
Reasons people hate Canelo PEDS Rehydration clauses Catchweights Weight bulling His fanboys Gift decisions (not his fault but people hate the corruption in boxing and see Canelo as a personification of that corruption) Mexicans haven't forgiven Canelo for giving up his belt to GGG without a fight, that is unacceptable in mx boxing culture according to them Lastly some people are just plain haters lol This is just based on what i learned from talking to the haters, im a former hater for some of the reasons stated above but i can overlook all Canelo's bs for what he's been doing recently and im a new fan
He's fighting bums like Yildrim and MacBuukk for email belts. Not unheard of to fight bums. Floyd is still the best. Floyd beat up actual hall of famers like Manny Pacquiao and also completely smashed Canelaroids head in. Floyd also never tested positive for PEDS unlike Canelaroid. Floyd is TBE
@@therealdrhankmccoy5047 Floyd ducked winky Wright what are you talking about go watch him struggle against jake paul hahahh thats a cherry pick gone wrong 😂😂
I like how objective this is, canelo IS guilty of some things, but his greatness can't be denied. Also fighting is a corrupt business so examples are always gonna be there but the most popular fighters come under more scrutiny.
I appreciate the fact that he tries to offer balance with certain criticisms like moving up to cruiserweight (which any other fighter would be praised for) but there are still times when he blanketly throws out criticism without balance. For instance he points out Canelo's positive result but doesn't mention that the trace levels were in fact consistent with contamination and his hair follicle test came back negative. The whole situation wouldn't even be a violation by WADA today which acknowledged they were wrong for not having a threshold for contamination and have since changed their policy. Also Canelo is one of handful of fighters in the sport consistently doing random blood testing when many other top guys aren't doing it at all. And during his claims of weight bullying he suggested that Josesito Lopez was brought in as a sacrificial lamb to make him look good when Canelo was actually scheduled to take on high risk champ Paul Williams, but Williams was involved in a career ending accident, so Victor Ortiz was lined up as a backup but he ended up losing an upset to Lopez, which is the only reason Lopez ended up filling in. Canelo would go on to fight undefeated Trout in his next fight. It should also be noted that Canelo is a former welterweight himself There are also trivial complaints that aren't worthy of mention like Abel complaining about Canelo's handwraps which was only his attempt to create a distraction, like when he complained about Canelo's facial hair.
@@therealdrhankmccoy5047 ggg floyd cotto kovalev plant saunders jacobs lara are greatness.Who else today fought as many champs as canelo?nobody,hes more comparable to greats of the past than the champs of today
@@therealdrhankmccoy5047 I'm just a casual boxing fan (I watch some fights but don't really follow the sport). Isn't the fghter with a belt one of the best of the division? If having a belt doesn't mean you are among the top what's even the point of belts??
I’ve being a Canelo fan since his early fights, The first time I saw him fight I just knew this guy was going to be somebody in the sport of boxing, I just knew it!!
Enjoy Canelo while you can, he's one of kind,pfp pure talent. All the naysayers konw 0 about boxing ,he has it all,power,defense,chin,distance control,ring IQ,counters,timing,combiantions,angle change,body work, ... Once in a generation fighter
Don’t forget the juice, refs, judges and boxing commissions. Let me know when he beats multiple champions in their own back yards like usyk or lomanchenko
Oh it’s easy. Failed tests for PED’s, weight draining bigger opponents with behind the seem clauses. Giving fighters like KOV a short camp which didn’t matter anyway since he wasn’t even trying. Want to fight a generally unknown cruiserweight just get another belt. He just wants to break records. He doesn’t care what the fans want. That’s why he never dogfight Gennady again. I have much more respect for Wilder.
@@strafer8764 you can’t change the mind of a hater lmao so there’s no point in stating facts cause you just gonna deny everything even when it’s FACTS. Not gonna waste my time. Like I said cry.
Hes fought Mayweather, GGG, Lara and many other great fighters. To say he's ducked is laughable. Some of those wins may be controversial but he ducks no more than any other great boxer. To get a truly top match up between two greats is fairly rare.
Would love to see a video on Chris Eubank. He seemed a guy in his way to becoming one of the true greats. I mean hen is still considered one of the greatest British boxers of all time but it seems that after his knockout of Watson and that unfortunate incident he lost his killer instinct as he didn't want to really hurt anyone else.
He’s only under rated by those who don’t think he deserves the success he’s achieved… We live in this world of social media bullshit where most commenters are angry, hateful, feel inferior, jealous, insecure, and find it convenient to be brave from a distance……..
@@IAMHIPHOP974 We talking about Canelo here who is a different generation to Mayweather. Mayweather was the greatest boxer of his generation no doubt but in my opinion his fights are boring, certainly his later fights. But as i say that’s just my opinion, yours may differ.
@@CiaranHand Floyd did and with GGG I have it 1-1 and honestly taht that draw made him a better fighter than GGG, specially because GGG has always been scared of going up to 168 and HBO sold it to everyone and I that he would knock out Canelo but couldn’t in 24 rounds.

Absolutely amazing video. The work behind this and the way you delivered your point across with fairness and professionalism is just insane. I am actually in awe, amazing!!
You provide without a doubt the best boxing content on RU-vid in my opinion. Do you have a patreon or something to support your channel cause I notice you never have ads on your videos. I get that’s probably because you use licensed content, despite it being fair use. Never donated to a content creator before but would happily support your work. Hope your brilliant content continues in the new year👊
No doubt about that. The production, the artistic choices, everything is top notch. His voice is good too, not too slow not too fast. Canelo is my favorite boxer (together with Inoue and Loma). Just a joy and inspiration to watch them all, speaking as an ammy boxer myself.
Extremely well finish product. I've seen some of your videos at random and this video clarity, production and unbiased opinion seems to me is way above other boxing channels. I will subscribe now.
I just stumbled into one of his fights on RU-vid a couple weeks ago. Since, I've watched about 20 full fights. He's a brilliant fighter and can effectively humble any fighter of any nationality.
Well done. I think Canelo has certainly earned his spot as the current P4P Champion. He's fought some great fighters and unified at 168 by beating a couple of slick boxers. He may not be the greatest Mexican boxer yet...but he's the clear number 2 right now and I think he still has more great fights in him. I think GGG won the first fight and had the second a draw, but those were close fights. I feel bad for GGG, but I think Canelo has proven his greatness. The guy fights consistently unlike so many of these other fighters who claim greatness, but only fight once every 18-24 months.
How he earned his p4p spot ! By cherry picking overmatched European fighters nobody wants to see but you dumb emotionally attached canelo fans. Canelo is a glorified D level fighter fighting D level competition. Canelo can't fool me. Real p4p fighters fight the best and not fight bums nobody never heard of. Come on how can you become undisputed and ignore David Benavidez at 168 and go after a weak bum cruiserweight title holder. Canelo is a fantasy champion
@@Majahpaine you’re literally what’s wrong with boxing. Tell me what charlo, benenvidez and Andrade did to earn a canelo shot?? Benevidez can’t even keep disciplined to maintain championship level weight. Charlo unlike his brother is doing nothing at chasing greatness. As for Andrade he was nearly beat by Liam Williams who might I add (though I like him as a fighter) was beat by Liam smith TWICE! So who now is it you’d like to see him fight as he’s already wiped out a division and whilst everyone calls his name no one goes and seeks it.
@@anthonyhall7883 and what exactly did yildirim do to deserve a fight? See fanboys like u don't care about about canelo taking risks as long as u know their is a meaningless belt at stake. But it's funny how u bring up what has benavidez done well he considered the most dangerous fight out their for canelo but he would rather fight caleb plant a fighter every1 knew he would win. Anthony boxing is about taking risks but u don't seem to care about that and I wonder why.
What canelo is today compared to when he fought Floyd is light years away. Its been spectacular to see actually. His movement defense boxing prowess and power have all increased tenfold and I've never seen anyone improve that much ever. Except when klitschko got Emmanuel Steward. But nowhere near the amount of improvement as canelo. Always been tough as a coffin nail. But now he's seemingly indestructible
You also have to remember one simple thing, When you are comparing fighters from the past, like Arguello, Duran and Chavez at champions being defeated by them, and then you tried to compare Canelo's wins on champs, you must realized that when these guys were in there were only 2 champs per division, and not 4.
Could be that you walk through a dark alley and then kiss the floor. You probably think you tripped over some shit but turns out it was Tony Ferguson anklepicking the shit out of you.
How many times do you see someone tear up Canelo's fights and resume, and in that same conversation tell us who it is they see doing the exact opposite of what they hate on Canelo for? Who amongst the top level guys of the current era are fighting legitimately respected killers every fight, or who is taking fights most of us see as 50/50 toss ups every time we see them in the ring? I am a Canelo fan. I like to watch the guy fight. But, I'm not saying in the previous sentences that I think he's been fighting legit killers or taking 50/50 fights every time out, nor anything else of that nature. But it appears that most hating on the guy feel that he, and apparently he alone, should have to do so. I just wanna know who it is I am missing out on watching doing the things they think Canelo should be? i would say that there is not someone out there doing it better than Canelo is (again, that does not mean i think he is doing it perfectly by any means) and if that is the case then this isn't just a Canelo Alvarez problem, this is a professional boxing problem.
@@SkanMLL Follicle test proved negative, test not consistent to the amount needed to enhance performance. Hence follicle Test came back negative, together with urine tests were consistent to one tainted meal, therefore, Canelo test score were made the official PERMISABLE passing range for Clenbuterol. THOSE ARE YOUR FACTS!
@@SkanMLL if you didn’t know a while ago the Mexican national soccer team also tested positive for clembuterol, you trynna tell me all the soccer players used clembuterol on purpose?? It’s been said that many meat in Mexico has clembuterol.
@@SkanMLL yeah everyone has used supposed roids lol that was like almost 4 years ago who gives a shit at this point you see people hating on Roy Jones over it
💯 percent Wrong on Defence, 87 that’s bs, I haven’t seen canelo get hit flush with any power shots in any recent fights, he always rides the punches by turning his head. Power shots is where it counts. He deserves a 94.
I dunno if you would consider the Danny Jacobs fight as recent enough but I pretty much agree with you. That is the last fight I can remember him getting absolutely clocked with one specific, ridiculously clean punch, granted if it affected him in any way he certainly didn't show it.
I've been around in boxing for oh at least 50 year's. I used to kick it with Bert Sugar. Not saying he was always right but he did know his shiznit for many decades. We talked about very many fighters, boxers, slugger's, puncher's. Pretty much the gammit. Speed strategy skills IQ. I got him to admit what my eyes saw not just political boxing spin. Yes Canelo could possibly get beat. The odds are in Canelos favor. Well trained. Fast enough great counter puncher can take it and give it. Heart determination winning spirit. Lot's of people talk smack. Canelo Alvarez is the shiznit. He's great I'm gonna say it. He's not over hyped. He delivers the goods. He's a great champion.
yeah stopping an alcoholic on short notice when he was almost knocked out by British level Anthony Yarde a couple of months prior was just incredible stuff.
Thank you BLTV Extra for putting these videos together with good educated commentary, I not only really enjoy them, but also learn about all the legends over time in all different weight classes.
Greet content ! I can feel you put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into this installment. Long live boxing ! RIP Showtime. This will be the new standard for covering our sport and your leading the charge!
@@a.h.543 You are a fool. Golovkin won the last 4 rounds. Unless you have Alvarez somehow winning 7 of the first 8 rounds it is impossible for Golovkin to lose.
I really like canelo and I’m Mexican and he has grown a lot through the years but imo his biggest problem is that he doesn’t throw a lot of punches. Apparently he doesn’t have the stamina to sustain his attack at a high rate. It’s kind of frustrating sometimes to see him walk around the ring when the fight is still undecided. The opposite in this regard would be Julio César Chávez, the definition of Mexican style.
Great to see you back and amazing video, Canelo is someone that has always intrigued me and I have to say after his 2nd fight with GGG he earned a little bit of my respect!
Very good. What makes him great is that when he lost, he came back completely changed and improved. Reminds me of guys like Ali. Guys who use a loss to rise above who they were before. Still can't call him the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, though.
I admit he lost to ggg the first time, but he won the second time. Look at the breakdown. With Lara look at the fight breakdown. Canelo out boxed him. Lost to mayweather for sure. But he tested negative to the hair follicle test. He took the test. So he couldn’t have been positive. That proves it! Why don’t you talk about that? I’m not a big canelo fan. But facts are facts.
What canelo haters don’t like to mention 1. Hair follicle test 2. Vada testing enrollment 3. Best resume in boxing 4. Face of boxing $$$ 5. He beat ggg in rematch 6. He beat the most defensively sound middleweights BJS & Plant 7. Charlo ducks everyone only wants to lose to canelo $$$ 8. David Benavidez weight bully who hasn’t beaten anyone 9. Canelo been at a weight disadvantage since being at middleweight 10. Canelo has to fight them all, while everyone else fights bums 11. Yildrim was a wbc mandatory 12. Charlo & Andrade are being overrated by bias race fans 13. Canelo was no where near his prime when he fought Floyd 14. Canelo haters already downgrading bivol & Beterbiev so canelo don’t get credit 😂 15. If canelo becomes undisputed at 175 he surpasses mayweather legacy by miles 🥊
I think the other thing you have to remember is that was GGG at his best Canelo is still getting better, so in terms of who is the better fighter it's Canelo.
you can't compare eras. Since Floyd left, he's the next best of his generation. He keeps beating everyone is front of him. There's the proof. Like to see him fight Bivol and Beterbiev.
I'm pretty sure Canelo's move into cruiser indicates he knows he needs to do more to earn the place in boxing history that he is aiming for. His current division just isn't deep enough.
Wajajajja is exactly the opposite ,he’s moving cause he didn’t want to lose a fight ,then moving up Make another boxers to cut weight so they’re easy for canelo and very comfortable not being close to real champions that can take a belt from him ,he lost against Lara ,and both fight against ggg
@@therealdrhankmccoy5047 the thing is if he secures a victory or KO at Cruiser and steps back down, he'll have an enormous intimidation factor in the division. A lot of Tyson's career was maintained by intimidation so it goes a long way.
@@pbac9570 fighting a bum named MacBuukk that already got slept twice hardcore by bums isn't very intimidating. Sounds like a beta bitch fangirl excuse.
I am very lucky I am witnessing greatness, despite all the shortcomings, I give him a lot of credit. It is hard to do what he does in the ring. For anyone who has been in the ring before, whether a sparring match or real fight, knows what it is to stand in front of another fighter and trade punches. Respect all fighters.
You sir are one of the best channels on youtube. Your understanding and love of the sport is top notch. Combined that with your commentary and video production, its just outrageous. Thank you for the content.
His defense should be 93. I looked into canelo's last 8 opponents connect percentage in championship fights that have gone at least 6 rounds and all of them had a career low connect percentage when they fought canelo.
@@christiansoldier77 Connect percentage is measured by the punches landed over total punches thrown. Meaning for the overall punches they do throw they aren't able to land like they normally do.
@@tyrodjenkins9050 You have to be committed to throwing punches in order to land punches but that will open you up to get hit. These guys Canelo fought at 168 were just looking to survive .
@@christiansoldier77 Again you're missing the point punches thrown over punches landed, and this goes all the way back to the first GGG fight not just the 3 undefeated champions he just ran through
Without a doubt the best boxer of today and this area. Canelo, limited yet sending all these boxers to the hospital. All fighters think they can beat Canelo until they get in the ring with him. And the drug thing it has been debunked. And the language thing well , Canelo does not have to speak English to sell out a a stadium of 73000 in the US Just a list of fighters Canelo has fought. Charlo's bro outed him on a live stream letting everyone know Charlo declined an offer from Canelo. Canelo focused to be undisputed at 160, but Dereyanchenko priced himself out, which would made him his mandatory to the fight Andrade, Then IBF block the fight in Oct 2019. You have to be on crack thinking that Andrade was more dangerous than GGG. Canelo fought GGG something that Andreade has ducked. Plant undefeated Champion in his prime Billy Saunders undefeated Champion in his prime Callum smith undefeated Champion in his prime Kovalev Champion Daniel Jacobs Champion Rocky Fielding Champion Champion Julio César Chávez Jr. GGG Champion Erislandy Lara Champion Miguel Cotto Liam Smith Champion Austin Trout Champion Amir Khan Shane Mosley Champion Kermit Cintrón Josesito López James Kirkland champion Ryan Rhodes Matthew Hatton Carlos Manuel Baldomir Alfredo Angulo Brian Camechis Alfonso Gómez Michel Rosales Luciano Leonel Cuello Mayweather 6 World champions in a row in 4 different weight classes. Daniel Jacobs, Kovalev, Callum Smith Smith, and Billy Saunders, Plant. Let that sink in. His next is going to be with another champion. Let's see who has Charlo fought🤔 yeah a no body. Who is Charlo going to fight next? Probably a no body. 😂😂😂. Oh another thing if Canelo would not know how to move he would of cut off the ring so well against on of the best movers in boxing to set up the punch that broke Saunders face. The Charlo dude does even want to fight Benavides. 😂😂
Would love to see one about Julio Cesar Chavez (people mainly criticize he got his record pumped by low tier boxers) or Roberto Duran (people criticize he lost all of his biggest fights)
Personally, I think choosing Bivol is a next-level move by Canelo. Win or lose, that decision is super impressive. People are downplaying Bivol's ability, but besides a possible Beterbiev, I really don't think he could have picked a tougher opponent. This fight has convinced me that Canelo really is a throwback. He's pursuing excellence. I'm not a fan, but I definitely appreciate what he's doing. This could change the sport for the better.
Great video man. Happy New Year, just found this channel and listened to this video taking down my Christmas lights haha. Canelo became the A side because of the work he put in, if it was so easy to do what he did then why didn't the boxers criticizing him put the work in as well. Now you have guys in three different weight classes waiting for the Canelo paycheck instead of making their own legacy. Who did any of them beat? *the ones most critical of him*
I believe the Weight Bullying arguement is a fallacy for Canelo. He has moved up in weight to beat someone who held a belt. If he beats a cruiser weight that argument is dead, completely. Anyone who agrees to fight above their weight class should have no excuses!
@@GershomSeventyEight and more, there are million of clauses and it's obvious that Canelo picks his opponents when they are close to end up their careers.
