Alright, let’s talk about this Canelo fella, you know, the boxer guy. Folks been yappin’ about him, sayin’ all sorts of things. Before and after, they say. Steroids, they whisper. Well, I ain’t no doctor, and I sure don’t know nothin’ ’bout them fancy medicines, but I can tell ya what I see, what I hear.
Canelo Before, They Say
They tell me this Canelo, he wasn’t always so big and strong. Said he was a scrawny fella, fightin’ at lower weights. 160 pounds, they say. That’s a fair bit, mind you, but nothin’ like what he became later. He was quick, they say, like a jackrabbit. Good with his fists, but maybe not packin’ the same punch he got now. He fought this fella, GGG, the first time. Tough fight, they tell me. Went the distance. Some say Canelo won, some say GGG won. Me? I just like a good scrap, don’t care much who wins. Then they say there was some trouble with his testin’, somethin’ about a bad medicine. Clen-something, they called it. Said it helps ya breathe better, but it ain’t allowed in the fightin’ game.
- Skinny fella, quick punches
- Fought at 160 pounds
- First GGG fight, close match
- Testin’ trouble, somethin’ called clen-something
Canelo After, Big and Strong
Then, somethin’ changed, they say. This Canelo, he got bigger, like real bigger. Muscles poppin’ out all over. He went up in weight, way up. 175 pounds, I heard. That’s a big jump, even for a young fella like him. They say he lifted weights, lots of ’em. But he didn’t do it like those strongman fellas on TV, gruntin’ and yellin’. He did it fast, they say, like he was still tryin’ to be quick. And he sure got stronger. His punches, they say, they hit harder. Knocked folks out, he did. He fought GGG again, and this time, he won. Clear as day, they tell me. Folks started talkin’ then. Said he was too strong, too big. Said he was cheatin’, usin’ them steroids.
The Weight Game and Hand Trouble
This whole weight thing, it’s a puzzle to me. One minute he’s up at 175, then he’s down to 168. Seems like a lot of jumpin’ around. Mayweather, that quick fella, and Bivol, some other fighter, they beat him. Said maybe he wasn’t so good at them higher weights. And then there was that hand trouble. Somethin’ wrong with his left hand, they say. Had to get it fixed up after a fight. Maybe that slowed him down a bit, I don’t know. But folks still keep talkin’ about them steroids.
Steroids Talk and What Folks Say
Now, I ain’t accusin’ nobody of nothin’. But you hear things, you know? Folks sayin’ his muscles got too big too fast. Sayin’ he ain’t workin’ that hard, just takin’ shortcuts. They compare the two GGG fights, sayin’ he looked smaller the second time, after that testin’ trouble. They say he couldn’t compete at middleweight without help. And let me tell ya, middleweight, that’s where the tough fellas fight. It’s all a bunch of he said, she said. Some folks think he’s a cheater, plain and simple. Others say he’s just a hard worker, dedicated to his craft. Me? I just watch the fights, enjoy the spectacle. He wins, he loses, it’s all the same to me. As long as it’s a good fight, I’m happy.
Canelo’s Legacy
They wonder if this Canelo will be remembered as one of the greats. He’s won a lot of fights, that’s for sure. But this talk, this steroid talk, it follows him around like a shadow. Some folks will always question his accomplishments, no matter how many belts he wins. It’s a shame, really. But that’s the fightin’ game, I guess. Always some drama, always some controversy. You know what they say? Can he attach the legendary status to his name? Only time will tell, I reckon. Only time will tell.
In the End
So, there you have it. Canelo before, Canelo after. Big and strong, or quick and scrappy. Steroids or no steroids, he’s a fighter, that’s for sure. And folks will keep on talkin’ about him, long after he hangs up his gloves. That’s just the way it is.
