    Even the usually jocular Smash gets extremely exercised about Canelo.

                Wilder was the biggest puncher in boxing history and no one could survive a fight with him

                  Being unbeatable is quite a lot to ask of a human being. In fact; there's no such thing.

                  No fighter has ever been "unbeatable", and that certainly includes Jack McAuliffe, Jim Barry, Rocky Marciano, Lazlo Papp, Joe Calzaghe, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Mihai Leu, Ricardo Lopez, Terry Marsh, Sven Ottke, Dmitry Pirog, Harry Simon, Edwin Valero, Kim Ji-won, Pichit Sit****prachan, Andre Ward, Oleksandr Usyk and Terrence Bud Crawford.

                  Circumstances in their respective careers simply didn't provide that opportunity to them.
                  It's a nice distinction, and rare too; but it's only one factor for determining greatness; and only a fool would confuse unbeaten with unbeatable.

                  Canelo Alverez is one of the greatest boxers of the 21st century; and any additional losses from here on out really can't move that rock because it's earned and banked.

                  Many fans derive some fun cheering and booing the ring warriors.
                  So, have fun!

                  Sincerely,

                  Captain Obvious.
                  - - Wispy, you OK?

                  That's too true for haters to understand.

                  Damn, by the end of the fight they both looked like they had been dancing with their girls instead of fighting.

                  Phew, open the windows, praise the Lord and pass the biscuits, we still got Inoue holding up boxing...

                    And now, when he lost to Crawford, people started to recal that canelo didn`t really beat GGG in the first two fights.
                    Yes because he got such preferential treatment from judges, and had the style to make it close.

                    no one that watched the Austin Trout fight was convinced that Canelo was unbeatable WITH FAIR JUDGING.

                      Not unbeatable but the competition on paper didn't measure up. It is a reason he avoided Benavides.
