    We just have to face the facts. The man is a legend and will be immortalized in history with Chavez, Duran, Leonard, and all the other greats.
    Nah, he's a great, but he's a different kind from the guys we're used to calling great. Canelo doesn't fight the guys the world thinks he should fight, he fights whom he knows he can beat.

      Hell just talk of him beating the 5 wins 4 KOs Morrell should put him above any boxer ever. It's quite a huge task to ask of the undisputed Super middleweight champ to beat Morrell. Talking about it is good enough!

        Why stop at Morrell? I think Canelo should fight Tank to legitimately be called TBE

          Nothing he does at 168 will surpass Jones or Calzaghe. Especially beating those two.

            These fights do nothing for Canelo’s legacy.

              The SMW GOAT title is toss up between Canelo and Calzaghe at this point

              Mayweather did exactly that, yet many of you call him šTBEš

                He's already one of the most accomplished fighters at that weight ever. Which is not saying much.

                However, if we are also taking H2H matchups into consideration, I'd have the following fighters ranked ahead of him:

                1) Roy Jones
                2) Joe Calzaghe
                3) Andre Ward
                4) James Toney

                He'd probably be next in line followed by Froch then the rest of the brits Collins, Eubank, Benn etc.
