    He is simply NOT a great fighter.
    Just a B+ plodder who has been well marketed and protected all of his life.

        Most of those fighters were over the hill or trash. Lara has still never won a real belt in the ring, and was not a WC when Canelo beat him.

            No one who was P4P #1 for 4 years straight and Top 10 for 12 years and counting is not an ATG.

            If there is, name one.
            But it is not only an argument, it is a fact, by the way since you mentioning the 4 years pxp thing, please do tell who did he fought to deserve that mystical crown. Or you can tell me the timeline and I'll find the opponents. Thank you, and please don't say you're not a diehard Canelo fan, you show all the canelo's fanatics traits.

              He has his limitations, he has had some gift decisions but with his accomplishments and resume even with taking the gift decisions into account he's still an ATG.

              Where is the cut off point in terms of being an ATG? To me its the top/best 100 fighters. Do I think he makes that? sure.
              Easily in the top 100 most accomplished and among the top 100 resumes
              Somewhere around 100 and 107

              Not worth talking about

                He can't tell you who he beat, because he didn't really beat nobody

                  - - Canelo makes mo $$$ than U lifetime just for picking up the phone to call his investment adviser.

                  He don't fraternize with two bit addled lads who need help tying their shoes...

                    I've already answered that question and you ignored it. There is no one on the planet in 2019 who deserved to be P4P #1 over Canelo, if not, who?

                      I already listed them dumbass

                      To which you tried to argue Golovkin wasn't in his prime, even though you said anyone who's undefeated is in their prime

                      Then on the following pages said Tommy Hearns was in his prime vs Hagler, even though he'd been stopped and you said anyone who's been stopped isn't in their prime

                      You're all over the place.
