    Canelo is head and shoulder above any boxer today

    No other boxer can come close to his resume and no other boxer can match his drawing power.

    Brit’s thought Aj was bigger yet Canelo makes double what Joshua made.

    I might agree if he could have beaten GGG without gift decisions, but he couldn’t.

    Hell of a fighter no doubt, but he still couldn’t beat Golovkin cleanly.

      He's developing nice resume. But he lost to Ggg so isn't quite best middleweight

        in terms of drawing power, you're probably correct, Mexican's love them whiteboys. but his resume should have an asterisk, considering his gifts vs Golovkin.

          The best resume?...yes.

          As a promoter you know you can safely stick him in with just about anyone and he will be there or thereabouts. He's not the best though, his stamina (mental & physical) punch output and punch selection at times mean he has a lot of close fights and he can't stamp his authority against top fighters.

          When I watch Crawford and Loma, I see 2 fighters who are able to maximise their abilities for 12 rounds if need be. Both have had to move up divisions to find challenges. They are both extremely versatile and are able to stay locked in mentally and physically...they make less mistakes as the fight wears on, and their opponents start making more.

            He is a top fighter for sure, but head and shoulder above? For his gifts - yes. For his skills - no.

            Loma, Bud, Fury put a school on pretty much anyone they face. Canelo struggles against top opponents

              You sound like your trying to convince yourself, that’s all I’ve taken out of this thread

                Canelo is a complete fighter, very good at everything.

                  Can't say you're head and shoulders ahead the pack when you're competive against all of your opponents.

                  Last boxer deserving of that title is Mayweather and Pacquiao. With the exception of Mayweather, Marquez and Maidana they were head and shoulders ahead of their competition.

                    PEDs and corrupt gift decisions will always plague him.
