    all good fights

    whatever adjustments Alvarez might make I don’t see him winning 7 clear rounds off Bivol. Maybe 4
    Yeah, I’m still not getting the Andrade praise but to each their own lol. I’d take Morrell over BooBoo any day

      If he is avoiding David, is due to him calculating the risks of a high risk low reward opponent rather than the narrative of the "Mexican Monster".
      Is Benavidez that dope

      i haven’t watched a full fight

      I run by him once in a blue moon as he’s doing his morning roadwork with his boxers

      smart with his money. Still drives an older entry level Mercedes

        Pretty entertaining fighter, high punch output and impressive gas tank, hopefully if he wins next month, Canelo will fight him next year.

          I love Canelo but I just can’t prop him above other great Mexican fighters like Chavez, Sanchez or even Marquez. He’s definitely had a great resume and a well navigated career due to being the A side and bringing in so much money. That can give the illusion he’s above Mexican greats who didn’t have those luxuries. But he’s missing really separating himself from the best guys. Look at his close fights against Lara, Trout, GGG and his dominant losses to May and Bivol. Then what’s his best and resounding win?

          What I think hurts Canelo legacy wise is that he doesn’t have a dominant and career defining win over an elite prime fighter. He doesn’t have a better or more definitive victory than Marquez K06 over Pac. First GGG fight could’ve been his chance but I had GGG edging it out.

            Canelo might be top 5 but not number 1.

            Name 1 IN-PRIME HOF fighter Canelo has CLEARLY beaten......

            And the future Hall of Famers were past prime and all the in-prime fighters he's beaten will most likely never be HOF.

              Stamina issues prevent him from going hard and winning clearly in more big fights

              I’d rank him much higher if he was schooling or destroying very good fighters

                Is there still anyone try to deny that? Just shoot those idiots in their head.

                Canelo surpassed any Mexican long time ago. 23 yo dead prospect Sanchez and bum hunter Chavez were the best Mexicans before Canelo. Piss drinker Marquez ain't even ATG and borderline HoF. Canelo millions light years beyond all of them.

                Mexico have never been massive ATG producer country. Even UK has a claim for being better country in this department. Canelo is top 10. Others ain't top 40.

                US is the only true ATG producer country. Canelo and Duran are the only high level ATG Hispanics.
