If Canelo wins tonight, how much does he cement his legacy as a Mexican legend

[..David..]

I am Mexican and IMO if Canelo pulls it off tonight we can compare this win to the likes of

Jcc vs macho Camacho
Sal Sánchez vs Gomez
Barrera over Naseem
Márquez over Pacquiao (just the win not the rivalry)

And tonight could be Alvarez over GGG

Agreed ?

[Mukuro]

Would be a great win for him. I'd give him tons of credit and consider him top Middle for sure.

You mean Gomez?

Yeah, it's a top win if he can pull if off.

Yeah, it's a top win if he can pull if off.

Thx fixed it, i get the Wilfredo's mixed sometimes haha

But yeah it's hard to top that win, also a big win at this division it's unheard of in Mexico

[boliodogs]

I agree. It's a huge win for him and he is already a big star in Mexico as he should be.

Depends HOW HE Wins. I've got Nelo beating GGG by KO. Monroe Jr. TOOK ONE for the team on how GGG can not dish it out in the inside. If Canelo comes with his A game, the shots that Monroe was landing on the body rest assured Nelo will land twice as harder if not 3x times harder. Nelo, like his brothers, have grotesquely huge arms, those are like hammers with body shots, imo as equalled to Golovkin.

IMO, for Nelo to become Mexico #1 ATG TBE, and rinse out perspective from the Floyd bout, as Marquez too was toyed by Floyd..

Nelo needs to beat these GUYS to be Mexico's #1 ATG, surprising JCC, and be 3 Division Champ.

James DeGale

That's the roadpath I see for Nelo with even more EPIC bouts to come in the near future. I even want the Eubank Jr. bout vs Nelo. That is another mega fight for the good of boxing. But imo Eubank Jr. if inferior, though his workrate needs praise, just inferior to the above mentioned.

What about Jacobs ??
Those are all good fight but cmon the GGG is way harder than any of those

[JJRod]

Depends on how he wins.
A vicious early KO of GGG would send him to legendary status. A decision even if earned would have the haters crying foul.

[TheBigLug]

It depends how he wins if he does, but yeah, it will be a massive win.

On the flip side, it will be quite a dent in his legacy if he loses. It means he lost against the two guys that were his biggest tests (Floyd and GGG) and especially losing to GGG after people felt he was ducking him for a couple of years, that's not a good look. If he loses, a lot of people will feel he's below that elite level and lacking a really signature win.

No way in hell, Canelo beats Triple G!
