90's and 2000s were equally dope...the big significant difference is the marquee division shift from heavyweight to the lighter weightsJust saw a FB video on the Mayorga vs Trinidad fight.
It got me thinking....
2000s had to be the best decade for boxing since the 1970s, right?

GTFOChavez Jr: I Barely Ate For Two Weeks To Make Weight For Canelo
"I can be criticized and rightly so, but nobody knows the superhuman effort I made to make the weight," said Chavez Jr. to ESPN Deportes. "I have taken the criticisms in a good way and I will continue to work hard. In a few weeks I will go to Mexico to train with Nacho Beristáin."
"Nobody thought that I make the weight, but that caused me not to have energy. In the last two weeks I ate very little, and last week I ate almost nothing. My mind wanted [to fight] but my body did not respond to me. I didn't have the strength. The massage [I received before the fight], I don't think that was the cause of my pathetic showing... in the ring that night was undoubtedly the worst performance of my career."
"I have fallen but I'm going to get up. I made the weight and that caused me an emotional unbalance generated by the same decompensation. Just imagine, it was the biggest fine in history for a single pound [over the limit]."
"When you get into the ring you do not go in there to lose. I also feel bad, worse than everyone, worse than my fans, but I made a superhuman effort [to get down in the weight] - that's why Óscar de la Hoya and Canelo asked me to get down to that weight. They knew that I was going to kill myself. I did not want to fail but it didn't work for me."

this clown is the biggest p*ssy in boxing. a week before the fight he was claiming he could still make 160 and felt great. dude was smiling and happy go lucky in the locker room. now he didn't eat for 2 weeks and was starving. fukkin coward just knew he would get knocked out if he went toe to toe and decided to survive and collect that paycheck. even his own father said it wasn't the weight, he just didn't have the heart.
and this bytch actually said he wants danny jacobs at 168, and then the winner of little g-canelo......dude is a disgrace to boxing.

If Errol Spence Jr defeats Kell Brook, would he be the A side against Keith Thurman?

Facts
None of this matters, because @ChocolateGiddyUp & @GzUp told us he was right on target and the weight wasn't going to affect him at all because he had Memo and the Mexican Hero was focused
How anyone can think a fighter who wasn't that low in 5 years could just magically make that low of weight and not be drained is stillto me
