Originally posted by THC View PostHe has a solid resume and it's a long one. Arguably he's still an elite fighter and as the most popular athlete in the sport, whatever he earns, he deserves. But since being dominated by Bivol, his performances have consistently failed to engage viewers seeking compelling matchups. So only his ardent followers would now consider him as #1 p4p. I have no problem with his cherry picking for the best pay. Other boxers do it all the time. e.g. Tank Davis. But let's not insult fans of the sport by declaring yourself the best if your MO going forward is to ignore the best challengers in your weight division, just because the sanctioning bodies (aside from IBF) don't have the backbone to enforce their mandos in order to pocket their belt fees. Weak sauce.
No need to look any further than yesterday’s fight : Chisora vs Wallin eliminator for the top spot
If that isn’t a ridiculously ignorant move by them , I don’t know what is

By this criteria and all others in this forum who are clearly looking at this through an anti-Canelo lens, the P4P list would essentially be non-existent. Yes, one of the criteria of making the P4P list should be viable opponents, but not every single fight will qualify as "fighting the best". Given the landscape in boxing, you can make make a strong case that Canelo in fact is one of perhaps only 3 - 5 fighters that would remain on the list if the most significant component of making the P4P list was quality opponents. Punches in bunches gentlemen!!
Yeah wtv this guy said

Another triggered canelita. The article was spot on. Canelo has not had a p4p performance since the Plant fight over 3 years ago. He was looked mediocre the last 6 fights despite 5 of them being C level fighters. He can't even look impressive vs bums like Berlanga and Mungia. What Canelo has done over the last 10 years, because p4p is about CURRENT ability not 10 years ago. You are exactly what's wrong with boxing, along with Canelo.

I hope he retires. He is so overrated and protected.

10-2 is more realistic than 5-7 in my opinion. I think 9-3 or 8-4 is a more fair assessment. Bivol schooled him. It wasn't that competitive
7/5 only in his delusional mind
