          Not too shabby considering he's only 24 and not even prime yet. It'll get better when he stops draining himself to get down to super welter. He has a great future at HBO.

            Best win is against Lara,

            A 24 year old had Lara running to the point that Lara was not even throwing, there were times when Lara literally turned around with his BACK TOWARDS CANELO, and freaken ran the opposite way. It was humiliating, even hard to watch at times.

              He has been guided well by his handlers, taking a 15 year old and keeping him active and slowly increasing the level of the competition..

              Some may complain about the lack of quality opponents has he moved up the ladder but you gotta remember he was a teenager and being 20 yrs old and beating guys like baldomir, Rhodes, n'dou, hatton is perfect for a young fighter and is much better than the guys that wilder or Russell jr, etc has fought...

              Canelo's level of competition has been super since he fought at the world class level..

              Fighting undefeated trout in a unification
              Undefeated Floyd for Unification
              Rugged angulo
              Tricky Lara

              In four straight fights is a very impressive feat.. Regardless if the fights were close with Lara and trout, no way can they be considered robberies..
              The opposite is also true, no way can they be considered decisive victories, or really victories for that matter.

              They are what they are, outcomes which really don't enhance a legacy/resume..

                That's an absurd statement.. So a guy doesn't get credit for having close victories.. Lmao

                So Leonard gets no credit for beating hagler
                Duran gets no credit for beating Leonard
                Holyfield gets no credit for beating bowe
                Roy jones gets no credit for beating tarver

                It's absurd to think a guy doesn't get credit just because the win was close..

                  He IS in his prime, every fighter hits their prime differently. Some guys peak at 24, others at 30, some at 35, ect. It's worth noting that he went pro at a very young age, I don't see Canelo fighting much into his 30's to be honest.

                    I think were going to see the best Canelo at 160.

                    25, 26, and 27 will be his prime years IMO.

                      I wouldn't go as far as to say they dont enhance his legacy. But they do put it into perspective.
