    There is no debating Canelo has an excellent overall resume at this point in his career. And those that would suggest otherwise I'd suggest are biased against Canelo. Although while saying that I do believe there is an expectation that one in Canelo's position should still be fighting better guys than he is as of late. So recent criticism of Canelo's opponents choices shouldn't be reflective of his overall opponent choices.

        Thurman can be a little confusing for the fans, the people that follows boxing knows how good he is, but the casual ones (the ones that brings the money) wouldn't find him as good to see as Alvarez for example, because Thurman style isn't really aesthetic.
        Beat Garcia and Spence would put him as one of the top 5 best fighters in the world, for sure.

          I know it would put him high but i think we dont understand each other here,im lookin for somebody who will replace Canelo as face of boxing in terms of drawing power,and i Cant see anybody but AJ in UK.

            I am a big critic of Canelo, especially his actions over the last year. At the same time, his championship caliber resume is undeniable. I can't say I agree with the number of catchweight bouts on his resume, but he has been in there with some top level fighters. That still doesn't mean he isn't a duck for calling GGG into the ring, running his mouth like he wanted it, then dropping the belt and starving himself to avoid Gennady.

                I'll believe it when tickets go on sale. Until then, it's the same fruitless speculation we've had for sbout a year now

                  The only person that can compete with the "face of boxing" title in drawing power department sure is Anthony Joshua, right now.
                  In the future i would give Spence a chance, but will see what happens whit the olympians tho.
                  Oscar, Leonard, Mayweather, Roy, Lennox, all were olympians and were the face of boxing in their time.

                      This Rio olympics showed a lot of fresh talent, the expectations are high on Shakur who was touted as the future of boxing by Mayweather, Crawford, Ward, etc...
