Canelos resume..rate it

Canelo has a great resume, one of the best in boxing today.
A win is a win. I'd rate it A- (A+ if his wins were a little more convincing)
Can't count the GGG fight though, apparently many people saw it as a close fight while I felt it was a clear GGG victory - but I'll live with a draw - whatever. Have to get used to this in boxing... The only decision I count as a win despite it being an official loss is Pac-Bradley I.Comment

Looks better than it is. The ginger kid is a very good fighter, but his resume is smoke and mirrors in part... some very debatable results in there - he's kinda lucky just to have the one L.
And Angulo? Kirkland? Khan? The names might be well known but there's context to this **** - none of them were really special wins at the time and weights the fights took place
Benefits of having a promoter with some clout and being able to pay for the right opponents. As I always like to point out resume is as much (or possibly more) about opportunity as it is about ability.
Still good though - indeed one of the best in the sport, especially for his age - but it ain't quite as good as it looks at a glance.Comment

Lmao good one.Originally posted by Porter's DadIn the thread I made 10 minutes before you made this, in which you posted twice before running off after I rebutted your points, you said the following:
So you literally went from telling me I can't add Canelo to Golovkin's resume, because of the draw.....
to making a thread about Canelo's resume, with GGG the first name on it.
How does this work?
Personally I think Canelos resume is vastly overrated. However he has displayed skills well above his resume.Comment

Canelo just went 12 and got a draw against the number 1 p4p in the world.
What else is there to say?Comment

If you aren't of an opinion that Canelo has one of the best resumes in the game you are either a Canelo hater who can't be reasonable when you dislike someone or you just don't know sh^t about boxing or other fighters in the game today.Comment

I fixed that for you, you forgot a name cuz we all know Canelo didn't beat GGG. I also added some names for posterity.
I say B+(+).Comment

So with 50+ fights he's had 2 good wins and if you really want to stretch it, 3 good wins.GGG - Draw
Lara - Lol I remember you complaining about Canelo's win there so don't even try
Trout - Good win
Chavez Jr - Not a good opponent, weight drained
Kirkland - Not a good opponent, ring rust
Angulo - Not a good opponent, Canelo changed the weight limit last minute
Cotto - Good win
Khan - Not a good opponent
Not bad at all for a 27 year oldComment
