Canelo still doesn't have a signature win

[M312]

If Canelo becomes undisputed at 168, pretty amazing feat. Let's not forget he also beat Kovalev at 175.

None of the names mentioned in the original post ever managed to do something like that, including Floyd.

GGG, Kovalev, Callum Smith, and now the slick brotha Caleb Plant are all significantly naturally bigger men than the former LMW Canelo

Well, we know for a fact Kovalev had a hydration clause, and Smith likely did too. Golovkin is not bigger than Canelo, and Plant is taller but height is not the same as size.

canelo weighs more than the guys hes been fighting at 168? based on what? that is an assumption you made

He used to weight 170-174 on fight night when he was fighting at 154-155.
Do you think he is below 180 now?

He doesn't have one W that makes you say "damn this validates Canelo. He's a top tier ATG.". A 36 year old Floyd Mayweather JR. (who was ripe for the picking) could have been that guy. He got dominated in that fight, didn't win a round. GGG could have been that guy. He lost that fight, but got a gift draw decision, then Canelo got exposed as a drug cheat. Charlo could have been that guy, but Canelo vacated and ran to a different weight class when Charlo was his mandatory. Right now he's just beating up on lower and mid tier guys. You really can't say he's one of the best fighters of the last few decades when his best win is arguably the washed version of Kov

Neither does Gayweather then. Pac had already lost to JMM and Gayweather was exposed as a drug cheat with those illegal IVs. Delahoya and Mosley were over the hill and the Delahoya fight was a robbery. Castillo and Maidana also beat him. Gayweather came in heavy vs JMM. And Pacquiao destroyed Hatton and Cotto more impressively than Gayweather.

Plus he ducked Williams, Margarito, Sergio Martinez and GGG who were willing to fight him at a catchweight.

See how easy nitpicking is.

Floyd's best win is a former light flyweight. A little perspective is needed

[_original_]

I agree, he’s just not a dominant elite fighter like guys like Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Ward.

Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Golovkin x2, Jacobs, and even Cotto. He can’t dominate top level guys and arguably lost 4-5 out of those 7 fights.

If he dominated a big fight you claim the opponent wasn't on that level. If it's close you claim he might not have won.

Just look at his resume and try to be objective. Your bias is clouding your view.
