      He is great enough that his critics ask others where do you rank him among the greatest of all time. I do not know what fans think these sort of questions means to the boxer. But I can tell you, is very likely, highly likely, that these boxers are very flattered of you guys comparing them to Ali, Leonard, Chavez, Hearns, Duran etc. or saying which of these guys are better than him. That’s flattering in the highest order.

      To even be in a question on who’s better between him, Chavez, or Salvador Sanchez, JMM, MAB, or Morales. That’s immensely flattering.

      To get called by Roberto Duran “already a legend of the sport”.

      By Mayweather “one of the greatest champions from Mexico”.

      “Boxing is in greats hands” said about you from Manny Pacquiao.

      Do you think your opinions of him are as important as praise from such^ legends of the sport?

      He is also great enough that he is the only fighter from 168 to 199lbs to be seen as “cherrypicking” Ring #3, and the WBC cruiserweight champion.

      Canelo is also the only fighter from 160 to 175 who would be seen as “cherrypicking” then Ring #2 LHW and WBO champion Sergey Kovalev.

      The only fighter right now who can be predicted to be the underdog and lose in under 6 rounds vs another fighter (GGG), only to go 24 competitive rounds and get 0 credit from his critics.

      You guys put him on a pedestal. It’s quite clear.

          He is the definition right now that there is levels to this game. He is serious about his craft no matter how famous or how much money he is making. James Toney had that skill level but was too lazy to train and stay focus when he was not in the ring.

          Do not bet against Canelo.

              Would never bet against Alvarez. As a former gambler, these are the fighters you stay away from betting against.

                Very good fighter but i think he has a lot of questions surrounding his resume and if he follows through with this makabu bs that's not going to increase his legacy but decrease it, i like Canelo as a fighter but his opponent picking is straight bs looks for the easiest links with a belt in each division then goes up and down when an actual threat comes up. He has the skills to beat top guys but he is protecting his brand and "legacy" but in fact he's actually damaging his legacy to none casual people. Moving up to cruiserweight as his size is impressive regardless but makabu will still lose and if Usyk or a better opponent was sitting with the belts he wouldn't dare go to that division and that's weak sauce to me.

                  Bs. The only one tainted is canelo, canelo is being know by manipulating his opponents weight, got schooled by fraud and Lara, lost to ggg and still cherry picking. He's a fraud.

                    Was 23 and drained, with a biiitch clause, I mean catchweight clause, so no credit for Floyd.

                    Lara ran like a hoe

                    GGG has a draw and loss against Canelo. It hurts you deeply, but it’s true.

                      In his defense Rigo at that age was gonna school everyone around that weight class at the time
