    Canelo is a much smaller man. The more skilled fighter doesn’t always win either. Look at wilder LOL.

      Exactly. Beating somebody H2H doesn’t necessarily mean they are more skilled because there are many factors involved in a fight.

      Jorge Linares is one of the most skilled fighters in the past twenty years yet he suffered losses by bums.

      Ricardo Mayorga beat Forrest 2x but nobody is going to say that he is more skilled lol.

        yes true

        but canelo had a bit of a rep for playing the rehydration game quite well, so he may well have been the bigger guy in the ring at 154 and 160

            Never in equal conditions. Bivol made clenelo look like a kid.

                  Was a single one of them not on their way out when the fight happened?

                    why I rank former greats at a higher level

                    Alvarez is almost always close in his big fights

                      Doesn't change how one dimensional he was in that fight didn't have an answer for bivols ring IQ I'd rate someone based on how they perform against someone they are in a list with not on who they've beaten previously whether hof or not
