I'm sure Floyd can barely stop shaking with fear.

3)Oh but wait, he's undefeated. I forgot how important that is these days...

Now tell me who are the 12 people better than Canelo

You only want 12? Rigo, Ward, Mayweather, GGG, Roman Gonzalez, Marquez, Mares, Donaire, Mikey Garcia, Lucas Matthysse, Vasquez, Abril, Lara. The list goes on...

I think the title is there for the hits and the comment b/c its outrageous and will get people posting, but Canelo is still very skilled though. I mean in almost every fight Canelo is working on a new aspect of his game. I remember back in the day against Cotto's brother Canelo was working on the FMJ stance and he got stunned a little. Then in his last fight against Trout he was dodging and slipping kind of reminiscent of what DLH used to do in his hay days, and it's all on purpose with Canelo. He knows he's in control, he knows he can turn it up whenever he wants and he's so comfortable in there that he has the AUDACITY to work on things and experiment stuff that 99% of the boxers only do so in the gym. Even against Mosley, he was more of a puncher and less of a boxer and that's not Canelo at all, Canelo's a boxer. He was determined to be in close, fight behind a high guard and tear Mosley up on the inside with hooks and uppercuts. Exactly what Mosley used to do to opponents in his prime. Canelo was working on his defense while throwing body shots and uppercuts in close range. Canelo might not be the most skilled fighter, maybe not even top 10, but he's shown in his short career that he is a tremendous student and a very fast learner. Props for that to Canelo and to Barry for recognizing that. I have no idea how people consider Canelo a pressure fighter or toguh guy that will crowd you or wear you down, it's so far from the truth.

In the history of all my thread post trying to inspire intelligent boxing talk, this is one of the smartest comments I have ever seen whether I agree or disagree. Its a smart comment which is taboo for forums

I didn't wanna list Pacman cause I know then this thread would turn into a Floyd vs Pac thread so I left him out.

Wow, you have Ward, Rigo and Floyd. All could easily be number 1. So how then can you have Canelo as (more skilled) than at least 2 of these guys??

[Rome-By-Ko]

I also think Rigo in the top 3 is too early imo..I need to see more..
