How do you rate Canelo?

[Boxfan83]

A+ Floyd

A Pacquiao

A- Ward/Kovalev/Chocolatito/Rigondeaux

B+ GGG/Crawford/Loma (they will all be A level at some point but have yet to prove it against top opposition consistently)

B Canelo/Cotto/Bradley/Thurman/Garcia


I'd say about a B right now.

Bradley and Cotto B? wow!!! I rank them same as Canelo B+.

[1hourRun]

A man I see they 'Balla Blockin' on Cashnelo -- the homie not getting KTFO like Poochiao and coming out like the 'Elephant Man' like Keiph Thurman and Timeh...we not getting dropped by Journmen like Kovalev and Rigo.

Bradley and Cotto B? wow!!! I rank them same as Canelo B+.

You think Canelo and Cotto can beat GGG? I would have had them higher but if GGG is an A-/B+ himself that wouldn't make any sense.

Bradley was dominated by an A fighter 3x already so I think there should be a complete grade between Pac and Bradley.

A-

Super skills, super resume.

TBH I really dont like Canelo but he does have skill. I was basing thing more on what TS said, how do you rate their skill. I believe all 3 have shown skill. I wouldnt say either are 1 trick ponies and have fought a variety of styles, grades of opponents and have been competitive. I guess this is in the eye of the beholder but all 3 are multi weight champs with good/great resumes win or lose.

B+

As a boxer I would say B+, he moves to A- when he learns how to cut-off the ring & learns to control his ring position..

I've seen very good improvement from Mayweather to Cotto!
His upper body moves and head moves along with counter punching off those moves is quite good! He still makes those moves a bit to big and sweeping but when you only fight twice a year your not going to be able to gauge your opponents within a 3 to 4 round time frame. You can practice in the gym but that type of technique only gets better off a fight with a quality opponent.

I like him very much compared to other top grade guys who are stuck in the "amateur" style of boxing. Saul is a talented boxer who's development is slowed by today's promo and managements not willing to "expose" their "products" more than once or twice a year.
He is just starting his education in the past 3 years and the next 3 will tell where he settles in boxing history.
I know not having to make 154 will be a blessing for him.

When ggg beats him he will be classed as a bum alongside lemiuex and Murray.
Hres a b right now. He don't win fights convincing enough and that's not cos his opponents are so good like his fanbs have you believe
