    Why do Most Trainers and Boxers say Canelo is a great fighter?

    You guys can cry judges all you want. The Alvarez family are a pool of boxers, it’s clockwork for them to know the fight game.

    Eye test alone clearly shows he’s a complete fighter.

    WAR DAZN.

    hes a very good fighter, if he was as good as u seem to be suggesting he wouldnt need any judges, which he has needed in the past, just my opinion

      I think he's the best active boxer today.

      Lomachenko arguably at #1, but in those weight classes a lot of boxers bring the same kinds of fundamentals. . . when you hit WW and up, I find you need to be able to deal with much more vervility in who you face.

        Yes but the Mayweather family themselves, be it Roger, Floyd, or Jeff never bring up judges or talk about Vegas and judges when speaking about Canelo. I wonder why...

          Depends what you mean by "great", which is a word that gets thrown around for everybody.

          Floyd was a great fighter. Sugar Ray Leonard was a great fighter.

          Do a couple close fights with Golovkin make him a great fighter? I don't know. Most Canelo fans spent their whole lives on this forum claiming Golovkin is an overrated piece of garbage. If that were true, Canelo The Great would have sparked him out. But what really happened is that Canelo the very good fighter lost the first fight in most people's minds, and ground out a close win in a competitive rematch against a guy turning 36 in a couple weeks.

          What about Canelo's other Great wins? Well, against Lara he was the aggressor, but with few exceptions, he was unable to cut off the ring and impose his will. Probably should have been a draw rather than a split decision victory for Canelo -- but he always gets the loveliest cards. Which doesn't make him a Great fighter.

          Canelo DID go up against a Great fighter once. How did that turn out? Well, one judge said he fought to a draw, which must make Canelo Great, right? Sure! I think he won a single round at most against old Grandpappy Mayweather.

          He still has plenty of career left, and perhaps he will become Great. He does seem to improve over time, which is important. He's definitely prime now, and if he's Great -- like Marvelous Marvin Hagler -- he will turn Danny Jacobs into a pile of dog crap, no problem.

              Golovkin was a few weeks away from being 36 for 6 months by the time the rematch happened.
