This is how dumb Canelo stans are. Andrade was a 3 to 1 underdog to Benavidez who's the most "exposed" of 2023 while Fundora was a 12 to 1 favorite and got clipped by Mendoza. :dead: Idiots stay chatty patty shyt by people who can't even break down a fight

Inoue went undisputed TWICE in about 12 months. Literally unheard of. Moved up a division to do it too.

I can’t remember a fighter getting FOTH when fighting only once. I remember Teo got it for sparking Comey and then dethroning Loma. Not just Loma. Like someone said in that YouTube comment - they didn’t give it to Canelo when he beat GGG either.

Also, with Spence, he looked so bad the fight looked lopsided. Almost felt like an uneven matchup. Didn’t look like himself at all. That might add to all this as well.

Spence was the same guy he's always been. People are being disingenuous. Spence actually won the first round and even after being knocked down in the 2nd round you could argue he won the 3rd round. He was same guy.....setting everything up with the jab, he just fought a superior fighter. The Spence that was in the ring that night probably beats any other welterweight except Crawford. Crawford made him look bad.


I love Inoue but he was a massive favorite against Tapales. He closed as a -2800 favorite and was -700 to get the stoppage. While it's impressive that he became undisputed in a weight class after moving up and beating Fulton and Tapales, he was such a massive favorite that I think Crawford essentially ending Spence's career while becoming the FIRST male fighter to become undisputed in two weight classes gets him the nod for FOTY for me personally.
