    Cotton was old and shopworn.
    Both GGG fights were controversial.
    Jacobs wasn’t elite and was still a close fight.
    Munguia, Saunders, Berlanga far from elite.
    Those were his best opponents.

    Funny to hear him **** on Bud’s resume but what elite fighter has Canelo clearly dominated?
    - - Had 3 GGG fights and dominated the last two

    Lara a runner/stinker floater sinker ain't HOF

    What grade they put U back this year?

      He hardly dominated the second one. If Golovkin gets the 12th round on one more judges card like he should have, it's literally another draw.

        NOPE! His best win is Caleb Plant or Austin Trout, which is a contested fight

          Which "Elite" Fighters Have Canelo Fought? Ya Like To Throw This Word Around A Lot. Only Elite Fighter Canelo Fought Was Floyd. Canelo Has Fought A Lot Of Class A Fighter (GGG, Cotto, Bivo, Kovalevl). As For Bud, He's Fought A Lot Of Class B Fighters (Gamboa, Postol, Khan, Brook).

              Saul didn’t dominate the trilogy vs 40 year old golovkin either

              old golovkin still peeled off 4 rounds

              Saul is a great fighter but was never THAT igga

              in his biggest fights no schooling boxing lessons or destructing the opponents

                Canelos MO is to cruise to a win doing as little as possible. Only time ive seen him step on the gas was against a gassed plant

                  it bothered me as a fan of the sport of boxing

                  I wanted the main star who was making all of these big fights to be higher level

                      that was 100% floyd and thankfully he is long gone

                      and by a pure stroke of boxing luck, canelo was ready to step up at the right time.


                      floyd, haymon and company decimated this sport. hbo, sho completely imploded under their watch .

                      thankfully canelo quickly pivoted and brought the sport to the future with streaming. and now back on the biggest platform.
