Is Canelo deserving of “Legend” status at 28?

[sugarsmosley]

Canelo should have 4 losses.

[ManOfVictory]

Not quite......

[TonyGe]

Why not GGG?

Because he's trolling..

[kidbazooka]

course not. and doubly so with GGG, hes been in one division all this time won ONE title.

Canelo won 2 titles at MW, 2 titles at LW.

Thast four times the difference from GGG. Obviously Canelo holds a MUCH stronger case for HoF than GGG's, but then you need to figure in Canelo has a possible drug abuse case which take him down a peg. Even with that hes still a stronger case that a one title guy.

Cotto is possible to, if I'm not wrong hes won titles at three weights? edit - no its 4...

“Drug case”
Man gtfo with that BS.

His signature “wins” are a gift draw and two gift decisions (Lara and GGG) and neither of those are great fighters or even close to. He’s skills are solid but he’s nothing special. Then you’ve got failed tests in his 20s and that’s huge.

He’ll never go down as a “great” and if you think he already is then you just don’t know enough about the sport and it’s history.

[TonyGe]

I think he lost to GGG but not to Lara. He damn near chased Lara out of the ring and landed the better harder punches coming forward not running like a scared rabbit.

Yeah he beat Lara but he struggled. I saw it the same way you did. He hurt him to the body. I think it was the fourth round. After that I thought he started to get the upper hand. Didn't score the fight just my impression. I also had Golovkin winning both fights.

[Pigeons]

How is Golovkin a HOFer when his best win is a debatable 1-pt. decision against the above average Danny Jacobs?


What's his next best win? David Lemieux?


I mean, c'mon guys.

[A-Wolf]

Hilarious. Canelo has been one of the top guys during his era. No more than that.

[kidbazooka]

He’s only 28 and still adding to his legacy but eventually he’ll be considered a true great no doubt about it and if you think he won’t be goes to show the haters are blinded by nothing but hate and race which most here are regardless how hard they try to ACT like their not.

[Eddy Current]

Canelo showed in that 2nd golovkin fight that he's easily HoF material
