Canelo Alvarez is an active legend

[niceyboo3]

If Canelo retired today he'd be a first ballot hall of famer. We are blessed to be able to watch a living legend still in his prime.

Man dude lost to GGG twice. So *** you, him, dazn,byrd too

[bigdunny1]

To say Canelo didnt win a round against Floyd is laughable...

To say Canelo lost at all to Gennady is even funnier... XD XD XD

THIS. With each year the loss becomes less relevant and when his career is over will be viewed like Hopkins loss to Roy Jones. Nobody will care because Hopkins kept winning and became so much better a fighter after that fight and achieved so much greatness. Nobody will view that version of Canelo at 152 as anywhere near his prime when the book closes on his career. And GGG got his face broke and his own trainer told him to his face he didn't win the fight LMAO

Oh no, absolutely... you can't, as they say, polish a turd. Maybe you were mistaking my post for some kind of pop at Canelo, but that was absolutely not my intent. Canelo has had the ability to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to him and deserves a huge amount of credit... it's just something I reflect on that not every fighter gets the same opportunities. I sometimes wonder how many great talents disappeared without a trace because they were never spotted, or their girl got pregnant and they had to go on the 9 - 5 or their manager screwed them over or whatever.

Yup so many fighters look at Broner he had every advantage was supposed to be the next Floyd if he was a better fighter he could easily be in Canelo's position right now and even with all these horrible losses he still get's another shot landing the Pacquiao fight. lol Look at Frankie Gomez he had the dream team promoter and trainer and phuked his career up before it really took off. And you look at a guy like Pacquaio who had no advantages as a young fighter lands a last minute replacement on a Oscar De La Hoya PPV undercard. Upsets and knocks out the champ and his career skyrockets after that 1 opportunity.

Triple Crapola Faggot G is a bum so his last win isn't good. He also drew with a bum that's even worse.

The only bum is you. A bum of a poster with nothing positive to contribute. Only unreasonable hate.

Dude's being facetious, man. Hard to tell around here sometimes though.

[Lion81]

are you joking?

He got two gifts while been on the juice. WTF are u talking about?

What gifts?

He beat GGG in their 2nd fight.

What other fight is controversial? Don't tell me Lara's marathon performance warranted a win?

Canelo fought GGG twice in Canelo loving Vegas which is basically Canelo's home town on a Goldenboy promotion. fight 1 was a draw and fight 2 Canelo won a split decision by the narrowest possible margin.GGG and Canelo are clearly evenly matched and very close in fighting ability. Yet somehow you can declare Canelo is a living legend and say GGG is such a poor fighter that you picked Vanes to knock him out. You say if he retired today Canelo would be a first ballot hall of famer and that's true. If GGG retired today he would also be a first ballot hall of famer. But only the great Julia Slobberts gets to decide which boxer is a living legend and which boxer is a POS. When it comes to boxing you have the knowledge, intelligence and logic of a snail.

If he is only joking then I am sorry. It's hard to tell for me. I may have confused him with another poster. So many on here hate GGG so much and I don't know why.

HOF lock

ATG- I would say yes, already, but it's still arguable. His win over GGG seals his place in this category imo. GGG was this beast of a fighter that no one dared face or could last 12 rounds against. Canelo made him look rudimentary.

IF he beats Fielding for the strap at 168 and defends it or unifies with another champ, takes Benavidez or Zurdo's title for example and also takes out 3 or 4 of the current threats at 160 right now he'll be an ATG LOCK.

Road to ATG'ness.

Beat Fielding- defend it and or unify against another 168 lb champ.

Beat Charlo, Andrade, Saunders, Lemiux. Beats GGG one more time, in more convincing fashion. That would seal it no question. Would leave no doubt.

Would probably be up there in the top 5 all time greatest Mexican boxers ever.

It's not always obvious who means **** and who's joking - the fact that I know individual posters' styles and stances probably means I spend waaay too much time on here.

As to why posters spend time hating on fighters in a sport we're all supposed to be fans of? I have no idea man - I don't really think it's actually much to do with fighters, it's just that some dudes like arguing and **** escalates - ragging on a guys' fighter is just a way of getting under his skin. It's all tit for tat juvenile ****, but it's not like some of the GGG fans don't do the same, so what you supposed to do?
