    Not bad at all for a 27 year old
    Yikes...

    He went life and death with Lara, result was highly controversial. Also fought him at a CaneloWeight, I mean catchweight of 155.

    Chavez Jr is shot to ***** and was never more than a C level fighter. (That gets you 0 credit)
    Also fought at a catchweight.

    Kirkland was shot to ***** and was at his best a C level fighter. Also fought at a CaneloWeight, I mean catchweight of 155.

    Angulo was shot to ***** and was at his best a C level fighter. Also fought at a catchweight.

    Cotto well past his prime, considerably smaller (about 10 pounds) and went the distance in a good fight. Decent win, solid win...but nothing special as Cotto was years past his prime and much smaller than Canelo. Canelos best win.

    GGG, I watched but was quite faded so I didn’t score round by round so I can’t say who won, I though it was extremely close and maybe thought GGG had a very, very small edge.
    Canelos most impressive fight.

    Basically he’s a huge PPV star, at the peak of his earning power, very carefully matched by golden boy in order to maximize profits and limit risk.
    (Essentially what is wrong with boxing)

    Catchweights should be fought maybe once in a fighters career when a super fight is to be made with a fighter in another division. Canelo, prior to the GGG fight had fought 6 of his last 7 fights at a catchweight. That is because he relies on a massive size advantage over his opponents to compensate for what are mediocre boxing skills... not the first fighter to do it, every division has a few fighters like that in it... México historically has had ALOT of fighters like that.

    Everytime he stepped up, he either lost, drew, or had controversial wins... he’s been pro for I think 12-13 years and his biggest win is a UD (wide I’ll admit) over a smaller, well past his prime Cotto.

    Shane Mosley, who neither of us mentioned was also shot when Canelo fought him.

    Overall resume quality when actually looked at between the lines in an unbiased and factual manner...not very good. To a casual... very good resume.

        7.5 out of 10. Not epic, but nothing that can be ignored. While it's among the best in boxing, I'm not exactly overwhelmed. A GG win would have put him over the top as having a very good resume.

          Very good resume as it officially stands but the truth is he should have a loss to GGG on it. Arguably a loss to Lara too.

          Are you really including Kirkland? he got stopped in a round off feather fisted Ishida. Chavez Jr was a punching bag aswell and Angulo isn't much better.

          The Cotto win is a good win, even if he was faded. Trout is a good win too, and even that was pretty close but Canelo win. Those are his best wins in my opinion.

              I think he has an excellent resume but I think he clearly lost to GGG. That's no disgrace because even at 35 GGG is still a great middleweight. I thought Canelo beat Cotto by a good amount and won close fights with Trout and Lara. The thing about Canelo I like a lot is how much he still improves with every fight. I think he would KO Cotto, Lara and Trout in a rematch. I think he will lose the rematch to GGG because he can never match GGG's stamina or work rate. Even though Canelo is faster and more accurate than GGG his 500 thrown punches won't beat GGG's 750 thrown punches. GGG still has more power and a better chin although Canelo has an excellent chin.

                There's no active fighter with such a resume to have shown such adversity.

                10 years from now when some random bloke is looking at full footage from Leonard fighting Hagler to then Nelo fighting GGG they wont think of "cards." They will just posture why the favorite monster couldnt hurt a fighter coming from a lower weight, particularly starting from Welter. Guys like Barrera or Pac starting at 15 wont seem farfetched..

                How was Khan vs Alvarez scored either from HBO or the official cards? Regardless if Khan couldn't hurt Nelo the way a shorter Duran could also come from Lightweight or how PAC was KO'd twice in initial weights...

                People will wonder why GGg never dared to be great at 168 at the very least, when boxers in a division he milked didnt want to fight him starting with Martinez. Ggg was scared to move up when other greats did

                  You lost all credibility with an 8-4 for canelo
                  How did I lose credibility??? I have a pov just like you do about the fight, Canelo won rounds 1,2,3,6,8,10,11,12
                  Golovkin won rounds 4, 5, 7, 9. Theres nothing wrong in losing 8-4 to the lineal Middleweight champ

                  Canelo in several occastions was literally trading blow for blow with Golovkin, Lara wasn't moving nor boxing he was ****ing running
