And by the way Chavez waited for years and for Taylor to fight at multiple weight classes higher and get knocked out to do the rematch with Taylor. Wouldn't exactly call that a true champion. Kind of cherry picking and would be looked at very differently if Canelo did that.
    You're right, looking back Chavez did wait a few years to rematch him, he did fought norris at ww or jmw, Taylor. Well, I yelled at Richard Steele that night and call him a few names couldn't believe he stopped the fight.

      Forget Chavez lol. There are several Mexican fighters who sit above him.

      I dont know when and why Canelo started getting mentioned with the greats but he aint no ATG. He is near Oscar status.

        He is HOF but being a ATG is debatable

            No.
            Explain how he lost to Lara and ducked Sergio Martínez?? He beat Lara by landing more to the body and in Total, There was no offer by Martínez, GGG is debatable, Bivol and Mayweather were clear losses,

              Sergio was the man in '12, was too dangerous fight at the time. Lara he did alright, could go either way.

                Sorry gaydrien, a lot of those "body shots" hit elbows and arms, they don't count and to think that the mexican-american judge gave 9 rounds to canelo smells of corruption. If canelo was the one doing the schooling, he would have thrown a shutout.

                  What's that old saying "battle was won, but the war was far from over" or something to that extent.

                  Meldrik Taylor was out-styling Chavez but Chavez came back late in the and put a career ending, beating on Taylor. Just watch the HBO documentary.
