    No he is not, you became an elite by facing good/elite opposition not by facing undersize and the bum of the month, specially when they hand you the belt and protect your a$$ from real fighters, are you going to tell me that Canelo could became an ATG by fighting the Gomez and hattons of the world? fighters 2 weight clasess below his...

      well it's too bad we couldn't see him fight much good quality fighters to get a better measure of how well of a fighter he is....sure he looks good beating up on mostly scrubs (who doesn't?)..and when he did finally stepped up fough a good quality opponent he looked mediocre in that fight...

            The finer points? How come you missed the fact that it was open scoring and therefore Trout had to get away from his game plan and be more aggressive?

            Facts are not hating. It is obvious that Canelo has some big time issues that even a non-boxing fan can realize. So you should call it what it is. Floyd can say that Canelo is flat-footed. Is he a hater? Floyd can say that Cotto is a better fighter than Canelo. Is he a hater?
