    Jacobs was Alvarez at his best. Round four (IIRC) specifically. THAT Canelo might have had a shot at beating Bivol.

      It started at about age 25 at 154 and ended about 3 years ago. Its hard to tell when he peaked cause the division is so weak or hes just so great. (Outside of Benividas).

        I like Munguia fight too

        Alvarez used his veteran experience and outskilled the young beast

          Well, he's got great win on resume over ggg. And some good wins. Controversial but they count as wins.
          But Nel o was in prime. Not sure when.prime ended, can't be that long ago

            imo, his prime started in 2015 against kirkland... this was when he was seen as this ko artist with powerful punches...

            he strated declining after the 1st GGG fight... that's when his KO ratio dropped.

              It's easy to knockout guys like Kirkland. Wilder made a career of it

                yes, but that was when canelo was in his prime imo... it wasnt just kirkland that he KO'd.. he went on and KO'd khan and smith back 2 back.. after his 1st fight with GGG, he started to decline and was only able to get 1 KO against kovalev. he hasnt KO anyone since kovalev..

                  common man, he waited out ggg, lost the fight, was given a gift, used drugs to get an advantage, and still won with an asterisk, waited four more years to make sure this time he would get what he was looking for, an old ggg. And you call this great? I don't know about you, but it comes a time when you have to open your eyes and stop with excuses. It is like your wife is cheating on you and you excusing her and blaming yourself because you work too much.

                      Sometimes I don't show all my cards, but I thought ggg beat nelo, in 1 st fight and draw 2nd fight.
                      But I accept its a great win, in same way like srl beating hagler was, even though some think srl.lost.
                      And even though ggg not prime too maybe, just like hagler wasnt. But still ggg would've best everyone else, just like hagler wouldve
