Most definitely have a case. If he beats jacobs and goes up to face Callum Smith and beats him. He'll be it unanimously. He has by far the best resume in boxing aside from pac.
Fighter of the decade will be Canelo

People said BBB side was going to KO him in the first round.
Trout was coming off getting a decision against Miguel Cotto IN NYC.
Canelo was going up in weight for those fights, not a forgone conclusion it goes to a decision.
He had a Mayweather payday on the line. Most of these young fighters now wouldn’t risk that.Comment

If the key criterion is "most dominant boxer", I'd give it to Floyd.
-- Better wins than Canelo
-- Beat Canelo head to head with ease
-- No positive testing for PEDs
-- Pacquaio won the award for the 2000s decade, it's Floyd's turn
But if the criteria are more about popularity, and who is the new face of boxing, then Canelo.Comment

p4p could be just due to eye test, fotd is more of accomplishments ... canelo beats jacobs and got this one without a doubt...
crawford could be p4p #1 just like ggg was at some point but neither has enough accomplishments to be fotd...Comment

GGG X2
I'm not a canelo hater at all, or a GGG fan.
I actually prefer canelo if anything I think he takes on tough challenges and was at a size disadvantage vs GGG
But I can't make an argument that he shouldn't have at least ONE loss from all those fightsComment
