    Has Canelo ever clearly beat an elite fighter?

    Lara was good fighter but a lot of people thought Canelo lost that fight.
    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?

    No. That's why it's well established he's overrated.

          well he prob beat ggg iin the second fight but if canelo loses when hes 36 then canelo fans will just say well canelo was old lol

          thats boxing tho, ggg was still good at 36 but he was actually fighting top guys like canelo who himself wont do that now of course, apart from bud that is but thats a bit different

            Nobody has clearly beat a prime Nelo apart from bivol. Sure GGG best a prime Nelo but weren't clear I guess

                lack of dominant performances is why I place Saul in shallow end of great

                NOT a top 50 all time!
