Hi Breadman, I pray God is blessing and continues to bless you, your family and the fans of your mailbag and their families. Calzaghe and Froch are right about Canelo. I’m not diminishing what Crawford did because it was historic and impressive, but I never got the Canelo hype. I have said this to you and others way before his loss to Crawford. Too many debatable wins and the Benavidez duck is going to haunt him forever unless he fights him now. Plus, he tested positive for PEDs and that is not going to be forgotten either. His performances vs. Trout, Cotto, Triple G, Lara were not impressive at all. I don’t look at him like I look at the great Hispanic fighters from the past like Chavez, Sanchez, Lopez, Duran, Arguello, and others. Nor do I think he holds a candle to Jones, Toney, Hopkins, Hagle , Hearns, Ward, Calzaghe, and those types of guys at super middleweight. He is more a product of matchmaking and marketing.. Great fighters win decisively and Canelo to me represents great marketing and hype more than great performance. I would have felt this way even if he had beaten Crawford. Crawford is a great fighter, and Canelo is a good fighter. We all know Crawford had superior skills but unlike you, we didn’t know if he would retain the skills and endurance if he moved up in weight. You had supreme confidence Crawford would bring his skills up in weight and you were right. Glad to see Joshua will be fighting Paul instead of Tank. Hopefully, if the fight is legit, Joshua will end this Jake Paul nonsense once and for all. Keep up the great work with the mailbags, they are by far the best publication in boxing right now and it is not even close. Love the work you are doing at Millcity Boxing. You’re doing your thing brother and you are doing it well. Peter Allen
