Duran was in his prime. And you boy Canelo couldn't hold his socks.
Does that magically mean he wasn't stopped? You said anyone who's been stopped isn't in their prime.
Now, as per usual, you're moving the goalposts.
Hearns was raked through the coals and stopped by the time Hagler fought him, just like every HOF'er he fought.
Zero HOF'ers in their prime, let alone ATG's.Comment

Still, he showed that he could fight with the best, he went 15 rounds with Hagler, Knocked out Davey Moore, and won the 160 crown against Barkley, all after losing to Hearns. I know you are a fan of canelo, there's nothing g wrong with that, you can even be blind and deaf, but when you're talking about greats, he ain't in that list. First, doesn't have the resume, second, he's the only beltholder to openly avoid certain fighters to the point to excuse himself by blaming the fighter in question. No, he is not an all time great because he doesn't belong with them, he however is one of the few boxers that has made 100's of millions of $$$ and with that his family, and descendants can live like King's and Queens, but unlike the corrupt organizations money is not buying an all time grea status.Comment

And? "Hanging with the best" doesn't equate to someone's prime.
He wasn't in his prime in 1983 or anywhere even close.
Not an overly big fan of Canelo, firstly.I know you are a fan of canelo, there's nothing g wrong with that, you can even be blind and deaf, but when you're talking about greats, he ain't in that list. First, doesn't have the resume, second, he's the only beltholder to openly avoid certain fighters to the point to excuse himself by blaming the fighter in question.

Secondly, anyone who gained P4P #1 status for 4 years in a row and Top 10 P4P status for 12 years and counting is an ATG, especially when that fighter is a 4 weight world champion, 2 Lineal and one undisputed. If not, name me any other fighter in history who has achievements even close to that that's not an ATG.
You asked who Canelo beat to attain the P4P #1 ranking, I gave you the list and you just ignored it
Canelo's an ATG, he'll be remembered as not only an ATG but one of the elite fighters of his era, that's just a fact.Comment

Duran was 32yo, he has beating up Cuevas and Moore, and went 15 competitive round with Hagler, he was not washed up like you're trying to put it, and years later he won against a bigger guy that has knocked out Hearns. I have to give credit to Hearns.
