    Who is canelos best win above middleweight.

    Callum Smith? Who's best win was beating a shot to **** version of the groves Froch ruined in his prime, years before, and was coming in off a UD loss to John effin Ryder.
    ​​​​​​
    Face it Canelo has no good wins over 160lbs and the only good prime fighter he fought schooled him

    AND

    Bivol was apparently going to lose really easily so people can't NOW turn around and talk about how amazing his skills are, they weren't saying that before the fight lol.
    The only people saying Bivol was an easy win were the same ones saying he was ducking the charlo, red flag, and andrade. Lmao you know, the haters?

      The Kessler who Froch beat and faced twice, is a better fighter than Golovkin and any of Alvarez's wins at middle-Super Middle Weight.

      Jermaine Taylor again, another fighter I would say is better for sure than Billy Joe Saunders, Liam Smith, Caleb Plant, and Callum Smith at Super Middle Weight.

      Arthur Abraham is another fighter. You can go through Froch's resume and compare his wins vs Alvarez 'Somebody should that on this thread'.

      Carl Froch is miles more of a proven fighter at Super-Middle Weight.

      He has better wins, and has faced better fighters. His durability is also more proven.

      Alvarez was bothered by Bivol's power, so what did he do about it? Nothing.

      When Froch was bothered by somebodies power, this made him fight harder.

      Alvarez does not have the power to stop Froch with a single punch, does not have the work rate to beat him up ether.

      Froch has a superior jab, superior movement, superior endurance, and is physically tougher. He has all the attributes that trouble Alvarez, all accept speed.

      But for me Froch is a fast enough. If he can land on body parts of a peak Ward, then he is getting to Alvarez who does not have the defense or speed of Andre Ward etc.

        I like Froch but he’s nothing all that special. Calzaghe on the other hand would of whipped Canelo

          Have you ever seen a bivol fight other than the canelo one?
          Ring rust. Everyone have bad nights. Bivol fought after 20 months in that fight.

            No.

            I never believed he'd easily beat him in the first place.

            Carl Froch would've taken Canelo to hell and back. Win, lose, or draw.

              All of this.

              Also, Carl Froch has a great reach than Canelo as well. 75" vs 70".

              For what it's worth, Canelo would also get beaten to the jab against Froch much like how Bivol beat him to the jab. And Froch had a good jab that found its target a lot.
