I’m glad rocky got his big payday and fairytale fight and I think he did what he could in the ring, I just don’t think making him give up his weight advantage when he was giving up every other advantage already was fair and to me Canelo is not a super middle weight champion.

He would get blown away by smith at full smw.

I don’t think it was embarrassing on Rockys part, the advantage he had was being bigger than Canelo and they took that advantage away from him. What good is being tall and having a reach advantage if you’ve not got the weight to back it up. What rule is next Canelo wants to move up to cruiser weight but usyk has to balance on one foot and only use his left hand while only being allowed to eat one bowl of coco pops the week before the fight, no water in his corner and all drug tests are suspended?

You either move up and fight within the constrictions of that weight class or you don’t imo.

Catch weights are BS for a title, regardless of what title it is.

Canelo is a fvcking drug cheating prick, I really can’t stand him or his team.

Setting rocky up for life at the fans expense. Typical Eddie Hearn match up.

Mate, Rocky got stuff all for that fight. After tax and expenses I doubt he would have enough for a Eastern European hand shandy behind a skip bin.

I'm normally a bit more measured about this type of thing but I'm inclined to agree. The lack of humility he showed after the second GGG fight gets overlooked but for me said a lot about the guy given the circumstances leading up to it.

If he was'nt well paid , he's a fool and Hearn is a coont , For me the only reason to take that fight was to sell the belt , if he did'nt get well paid he's too stupid to warrant being paid at all

I gave read he got paid a £ mill

To be fair, he is a decent lad but he isn’t even the best at his weight in Liverpool never mind the World.

His options were to make a dozen defences on undercards or one big fight for the same money.

He'll get Danny Jacobs a shot a Alvarez, why's he worried. And have Alvarez' fights on the network he's in with.

Golden Boy was the promoter. Fast car just provided a couple of fights for the undercard.
