      He is if you think of him a one of those atg Latino fighters that will go up 3-4 weight classes and have success. He may very well be an atg 154lber or MAYBE 160lber. But look at it like this. He 175lb guy boiling down to 154. He is flat footed, and has a very hard time against boxers who are defensive technicians. He also has a offense that isn't dynamic. For a guy with such a weight advantage I would think he would condone a Duran esque offense, using overhand right more. I don't see the Canelo of today going past 160 and doing anything of note. I mean he hasn't really sensationally cleaned out 154. His fight with Mosley way back proved to me though he is the real deal.

          I think Canelo is overrated by his fans but underrated by people who dislike him because of his hype.

          He's somewhere in between incredible and good. He's a great, great fighter. He has a LONG career to go.

            Achieved all of that and he's only 25 years old. Which one of your favourite fighters did he beat?

              Guys I named would all beat GGG's best opponents.

              I want to see him fight Golovkin, no doubt. Just pointing out that Canelo is a bit over rated. He is the next Latin Golden Child, which is what has kept him with only one loss. With fair judging, he could have three losses right now.

                  Haha I Tought you were going to say "Guys I named would all beat GGG" lol, Fair judging??? That's just your opinion and your in the minority... I'm pretty sure your talking about the Trout & Lara fights, no way did Canelo loose these fights especially The trout fight... Ill admit they were close fights but I remember trout admitting that he lost and Lara decided to run all night and didn't pull the trigger enough to get the win but again they were close fights...
