Unlike floyd & canelo, pac didn't get to cherry pick when & where he got to fight all of his best opponents.
Guy hasn't fought in his home country, in almost 20 years.
He fought damn near everybody, usually in their home country or in a neutral site.
Guy's an atg

What takes away from his record
Lacks some convincing wins
I had it 114-113 for Trout
Lara fight was a draw
I guess most scored the first two fights for ggg?
not the biggest Alvarez fan. Haven’t watched those two bouts carefully

As of right now, Pacquiao has more HOF’ers on his resume than Canelo.
Canelo has GGG 3x, Cotto, and Mosley*.
Pacquiao has, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto, Bradley, Hatton and Mosley*.
*Mosley was old and past prime.
Canelo is also not helping himself by fighting guys coming up 2 weight classes like Charlo, fighting guys like Berlanga (rumored), and ducking Benavidez pretty hardcore.
Lara, Trout, Ryder, Munguia, Plant, Saunders, C. Smith, L. Smith, Kovalev, Jacobs, Rhodes, were all top 10 contenders of his time that he HAD to fight or else critics would’ve accused him of ducking them. That’s just the truth.
To be fair though, there weren’t many HOF fighters Canelo could fight from 154 to 175. He pretty much fought them all. Which HOF fighters did he realistically have available to him? Mayweather? He fought him. Cotto? He fought him. GGG? He fought him 3x. Mosley? He was old and past it but I guess he counts in HOF bracket.
Which other HOF’ers did Canelo have available? Jacobs was a good top 3 opponent but I don’t think he’s getting in. He cleaned out 168 but who knows which one of those guys are HOF bound, likely none, they were all just good contenders.
He fought Bivol who has a shot at the HOF imo, but couldn’t beat him. He hasn’t fought Benavidez who may have a shot at the HOF as long as he stays away from Bivol and Beterbiev.
There aren’t many GREAT fighters left for Canelo to fight. Benavidez, Bivol rematch, and Beterbiev. That’s it. And beating those 3 won’t trump Pacquiao’s resume. Canelo doesn’t really have the opportunity to surpass or even match Pacquiao’s resume.clmags12
