Comments Thread For: Roberto Duran Feels Canelo is Already a Legend, The New Idol of Mexico

[tokon]

Sanchez died at like 23 years old lol he’s not even on the top 5 best ever Mexican fighters on any list. He’s a what could’ve been

A few people might not like it but that's how it looks to me too.

He's a cheat like JMM and many mexican fighters.

Canelos resume is what separates him from the rest and puts him in with the greats like fighters with resumes like his,Tyson, Triple G, Fury, Pacman, Joshua, etc.

Duran is a legend, truly great, and I doubt Canelo ever would've gotten a win over Sugar Ray Leonard, if Canelo was in that era.

Duran was so tough and could take a punch, but he was ko'd by Hearns, although I think he wasn't so well prepared for that fight.

Canelo has never been down, say what you want, he's got a helluva chin, to have taken a few bombs from Golovkin and not in danger of being knocked down.

People need to stop with the overrated title grabbing. It’s more about who you beat and when you beat them. Both Sanchez and Chavez have dominant wins over hall of fame level fighters in their primes. Canelo doesn’t have 1. All of his opposition that were hall of fame quality were 35 and older when canelo faced them and none were truly dominant wins except maybe vs 40 yr old Mosley.

[Pac=Duran]

Chavez and Salvador will always be #1, #2. There are too many Mexican fans that don’t like Canelo, and he will never do enough in their eyes to put him in the top spot.

He can grab a heavyweight title and they would still say Chavez is #1 lol

He’s done way way more than Chavez. Sanchez is a legend though. Canelo could end up as a top 10 p4p ever talent

Duran isn't Mexican so doesn't have Mexican " roots" idiot. Duran is Panamanian.

He has Mexican roots dummy

GGG? Lol GTFO.

Canelo keeps winning titles in multiple divisions he will be the most decorated Mexican fighter when he’s done.
Like others have said it would be hard to be the most beloved. Boxing was a much bigger sport when Chavez Sr. and others were doing it.

If that's your criteria, then why the hell are you asking him to fight Artur Beterbiev who's almost 39?

Because its a built in excuse for your lame ass.... Ain't that right, AH
