Why?

1) Schooled by Floyd
2) Lost to Lara and was given a gift
3) Trout fought him tooth and nail
4) Lost every round to Khan before stopping him

If he beats GGG he will have me sold. But he won't.
Well he is only 27, 2 years younger than Crawford and Lomachenko. He's accomplished more than both of them when they were 27. He still has a bit of time to catch up.

Crawford is undisputed super lightweight world champion. He has all four major belts. Lomachenko has only 10 pro fights and he has already won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight.

And was a professional for 7 years. Far from a novice

Canelo fought 30 bums in Mexico, that mind as well have been his amateur career. Who on Crawford and Lomachenko's resume is comparable to Lara and Trout? You can argue that both fights we're competitive and Canelo might've lost to Lara by a round or two but cannot deny that Canelo fought both of them at their best.

Russell Jr compares to Lara to say nothing of Trout, and Loma was toying with him, while Lara made Canelo look dumb.

Alvarez had moved past the bum stage after around 17/18 fights. He was far more experienced as a pro at 22 than most guys are at the same age. That's certainly not to say that he was at his peak, but I think he was much better prepared than his age alone would suggest.

I've seen the boxrec computerized rating formula before. I don't remember cowardice being a variable in it.

Also, you're obviously totally new to interacting with other boxing fans, so you should be warned, professional boxers are not to be called cowards. To think of how much more cowardly you are than Alvarez, there's really no comparison.

Oh, one more thing. HOW THE F*CK ARE YOU GOING TO ACCUSE THE GUY WHO IS FIGHTING GOLOVKIN NEXT MONTH OF AVOIDING A FIGHT WITH GOLOVKIN?! THERE'S LITERALLY ONLY ONE HUMAN BEING WHO IS FIGHTING GOLOVKIN NEXT MONTH, AND THE ONLY HUMAN BEING WHO IS DOING THAT, IS SAUL ALVAREZ!

Are you ok Mr. ?
did ginger chick not run, duck and avoid golovkin for how long ?
