    I for sure couldn't name 100 with better resumes and accomplishments.
    Top 70 don't sound like top tier to me

      6 lists I have been through now, its never going to be perfect as its so subjective however this is the best of the lists I found in those 6.
      There are a good amount I disagree with I am sure many will even go as far as saying its a rubbish list but its the most researched from the 6 I found.

      I personally think the top 20-25 give or take a couple is reasonable (Holmes for example is too high) and it gets rather murky after. There are certainly a few that are head scratching.
      There are roughly 60 or so named that didn't quite make the cut.

      Comparing Canelos resume, accomplishments etc I think he stacks up well and is better than a good portion of them.

      Credit to Kenneth Bridgham that did all that research and put the list together

        That was just a random guess/figure off the top of my head but a quick look I'd put him quite a bit higher, regardless 70th still qualifies as an ATG.
        The modern sport has well over a Centuries history and hundreds of thousands if not millions of competitors, to be 70th overall is some doing.

        He's probably more in the 40-50 range.

          I am not impressed

          70 is probably being generous

            He struggles with simple concepts

            Makes a thread claming Canelo is not an ATG then in the same thread admits he's a Top 50 ATG

            Couldn't write it.

              Can you name 70 fighters with better resumes than Canelo?

                      I literally just told you that there is no evidence that Manny Pacquaio took PEDs.

                      Why can't you answer your position being challenged? You've asserted he's not a Top 70 ATG now, so name 70 fighters?

                      Go ahead.
