He had some controversial decisions with GGG and arguably Lara. But the Lara fight I thought Canelo won because Lara's activity dropped too much in the championship rounds so Canelo edged it by 2 rounds in a 115-113. The judge who gave Canelo 117-111 should have had his license revoked though.
      I can't see Canelo even beating James Toney at 168 he would pick Canelo apart imo

      Ward no

      Rj no

      175 again Roy and Ward no. Mike Spinks Marvin Johnson absolutely not. Tarver no.

      Canelo he's good for the era that he's in but against previous era fighters i don't see him as formidable

        Canelo is great for his era and an elite fighter, but calling him an ATG feels like a stretch to me. Against some of those older-era guys, especially at 168 or 175, I think he’d struggle a lot more than people want to admit.

              I'm quoting Teddy Atlas there, idiot

              Teddy Atlas said it, I'm reiterating what he said.

              You take his word, do you not?

                Significant progress being made here. Excellent work, scholars. We'll have reached our far-reaching conclusion soon enough.
