Mikey Garcia over Canelo? please quit your job

Why must Canelo be above Mickey? For losing to Lara, GGG twice? For beating old Cotto?

[Mirus]

-Rigondeaux (P4P but smaller)
-Gary Russell Jr. - Top 3 fighter @ 126 and as of right now, probably borderline P4P.
-Walters (borderline P4P) - Top 2 fighter @ 126, Top 5 fighter @ 130. Never had a close fight and got robbed of a dominant victory over Sosa. Only person to EVER stop Donaire.
-Linares (world champ) - Top 3 fighter @ 135
-Sosa (world champ) - weakest link, still a world champion and was able to pull off a KO against Fortuna.
-Roman Martinez (world champ) - Completely schooled and dominated. Same guy that dropped Mikey.


Canelo:
Controversial/close win against Lara.
Controversial fights against Golovkin.
Win over Trout. Good win, close fight.
Win over Cotto, who didn't do much his last 5 years besides beat a broken Sergio Martinez. Lost to Trout, Floyd, Canelo, and then ended his career with a defeat to Sadam Ali...



There is definitely room to make an argument here. Just because a fighter is higher than another one doesn't mean it's not close. For what it's worth, I have: Crawford, Loma, Usyk, Canelo, and then Mikey--- and it's close between them all. Even then, this is only under the assumption I believe he won the last GGG fight (and I don't know, I didn't score it, I personally felt after watching it is was a close fight for sure, however. Would have been fine with a draw).

Good explanation! Thank you!

[The Big Dunn]

The usual suspects triggered as usual by someone that knows the sport putting Crawford ahead of Loma.

I have posted before that Usyk IMO has a real case to be #1 so I really disagree with him being down at 5. Way too low IMO. I have the following list as of now:

1. Crawford
2. Lomachenko
3. Usyk
4. Mikey
5. Inoue
6. Sor Rungvisai
7. Canelo Alvarez
8. GGG
9. Spence
10. Joshua

If you have Crawford, Loma or Usyk #1 I don't really have an issue.

[BIG GUNZ]

Good list, but not sure about the order & I don’t know if I’d have Santa Cruz on there. The other 9 I defintely agree with but I don’t think that’s the order I’d have them in.

Edit:

1. Crawford
2. Lomachenko
3. Usyk
4. Mikey Garcia
5. Canelo
6. GGG
7. Spence
8. Inoue
9. Rungvisai
10. Santa Cruz

Decided to keep Santa Cruz since I couldn’t find anyone else that should be on it. Thurman hasn’t fought in 18 months so I can’t put him on it.

This guy Inoue is not anywhere near the top, he has proven absolutely nothing. Its ridiculous how a lot of websites and espn are trying to hype this guy. And I like watching Spence fights and I think he's going to do good things in the future but he shouldn't be there either. At this point I think Canelo and Usyk are the top 2 and the 3rd spot is up for debate.

[Death_Adder]

How is Crawford so high? He hasn't beaten anyone. Seriously, why is he so far up? What has he done to prove he belongs at the top spot?

any formidable opponents that Mikey beat? Although I do agree with you that Canelo lost to GGG both fights, he put up a very close fight with him, and GGG is an iron chin monster who always goes for the kill. Mikey simply doesn't have a single good name among his former opponents to put up there next to Canelo. Salido was probably the biggest win. Easter in a no one

So you pump the sht out of one resume and spit on anothers to try and make your BIASED as *** point??

1st Cotto was ranked P4P #9 at the time.

2nd Salido was a BAD loss. He was a HUGE, HUGE underdog with double digit losses. Which Garcia dropped like 5 times and won practically every round

Walters SUKS.

Linares Kahn Jr. has a Round 1 KO loss and a round 2. Guys have 9 and 5 losses now. A dude Broner smashed TKO'd him also.

Martinez LOL you brought him up?? Just because he dropped Mikey???

Man this dude is ALL on LOMA's NUTS!!!
