    Canelo never did fight the real and prime GGG. He ducked it for two years with all kinds of excuses. When the fight was finally made, I attended the NYC press conference and mentioned to GGG about the well known story about him destroying Canelo in sparring years earlier. He was caught off guard by that mention and proceeded to play it down, like it's only sparring it doesn't matter, he was actually defending Canelo. I knew right then the fix was in. I asked Lennox Lewis about the previous sparring with Golota before their fight in the 90s and he revealed Golota could not handle it whenever he turned up the heat on him. Lewis turned up the heat early in their fight and won by first round KO.

    You confuse critical thinking with critical biased opinion, which is not supported or supported from bias sources. Got get em, Scoop, you’re doing a hell of a job.

    Amazing that a sport that can't get together on anything can find a way to fix fights at the highest level and nobody knows about it. Where do HBO, Showtime and the various PPV outlets fit in this? They are cool paying - and charging - big bucks for fights they know are fixed? Or are they out of the loop too?

    You’re just a sheep with no critical thinking skills.

    in a world where secrets are impossible to keep, Carl is the one that is trusted with this information.

    If anyone can explain to me why Michael Moorer did not demand and force a big money rematch with George Foreman, instead taking a meaningless nothing fight vs no name nobody named Melvin Foster six months later, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Moorer clearly wanted one, from Nov. 18, 1994:

    It was of course never signed. So why not?

    Was that just media manipulation/damage control to disguise the dive?

    In his second fight after losing to Foreman, Moorer won the IBF title in Germany vs Axel Schulz, which I believe was stripped from Foreman.

    Wiki said Foreman was first stripped of the WBA title for not fighting top contender Tony Tucker (controlled by King), and then after controversially beating Axel Schulz by suspect decision), the IBF stripped Foreman of the IBF belt, his last title, for not rematching Schulz which the IBF ordered. But why didn't the IBF order Foreman to rematch Moorer?

    Moorer never got the Foreman rematch.

    The whole thing is very fishy.
