Since the Austin Trout fight, he's fought BETTER competition than any OTHER Jr Middleweight. And actually most(not all) fighters in ANY weight class. Trout, Angulo, Mayweather, Lara, Kirkland...
No one will dispute he's the best ever. He sure isn't the second coming of Chavez Sr or Salvador Sanchez. But he is a very good fighter with an exciting style and more importantly WANTS TO FIGHT THE BEST.
What else could you really ask of a prize fighter?
Just curious, but what exactly is exciting about Canelo's 'style'? He's pretty much a low-to-average output boxer-puncher with decent pop.

Canelo is the ****ing man. People are still salty about him being brought along at the right pace. He shouldn't have got that title handed too him, but he's proven he's a champion many times over since.
Hate all you want, Canelo is here to stay.
Canelo>everyone else in boxing.
Everyone else is going life and death with tuneups lol.
mayweather with maidana
garcia with herrera
ward with life
broner with everyone
Yes but the Canelo haters are b*tching their heads off because he has the outrageous nerve to fight at 155 instead of the 154 they think he should fight at even if he is not a champion and it's not a title fight. I think his haters will be disappointed because I believe he will be a big money making star for many years to come. He is totally dedicated to boxing and he tries very hard to fight the best and be the best.
It's not about who u fight, it's about who u beat and how u look doing it.
I feel you. But he can't control the judges (or can he? Hmmm). But I gotta give him credit for even MAKING the fights happen is this day and age of NOT fighting the best fighters. And he was one of the MAIN offenders of this before. Matthew Hatton? Smh
Only thing is he hasn't fought at Jr Middleweight since 2013...........funny the champ and the #1 contender at 154(Mayweather,Canelo) both have not even fought there in almost 2 years
