    Just a reminder: not so long ago 90% people here felt like Canelo was unbeatable

    Some fools even predicted him to beat Usyk. 90% guys here predicted him to beat Bivol easily and than beat Beterbiev also.

    There was a myth, that only Floyd could have beaten him.

    And now, when he lost to Crawford, people started to recal that canelo didn`t really beat GGG in the first two fights.

        Was that more so because he was so good or because he had everything stacked in his favour with the scorecards already pre-filled?

          I always thought that Beneviedez would beat him easy and anyone at LHW with a pulse would beat him.

            You’re the same idiot who said he’d beat Bivol easily and it was a cherry pick.

                  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.

                    Not sure about that statistic, Canelo seems to be one of the most disliked active boxers among the depressed males who make most of the posts in this section.

                    Even the usually jocular Smash gets extremely exercised about Canelo.
