Is Alvarez's Resume Overrated?

[ShaneMosleySr]

He actually lost to GGG twice, Lara and Trout (although I don’t blame him because of the open scoring)

Cotto was old and shot

Mosley was old and shot.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is complete garbage.

Every other name you mentioned is basically just a guy in a division.

When you compare his resume to anyone on the pound for pound list besides Manny's, canelo's resume is leaps and bounds ahead of anyone's.

It was a fair draw against ggg for the first. He beat the shlt out of ggg in the second fight. He made trout do the stanky leg and knocked him down. If you want to count lara turning into usain bolt and literally running the whole fight as a loss then that's your prerogative.

Your a canelo hater.

He’s had at least 3 gifts (Lara and GGG 2x) and barely squeaked by Trout. He has somehow managed to avoid Charlo and Andrade at two weight classes now.

That’s some serious hate

Charlo and Andrade weren’t established during canelos run

He fought Lara and trout who everybody thot he’d duck

It’s not hate. It’s just reality. He told GGG to come talk to him when he has a belt. Charlo and Andrade are calling him out, they have belts. Crickets from Canelo.

I'll give him credit for taking on Trout and Lara when he did because people didn't think he'd take them on. But it was clear that by 2013, cards were heavily in his favor. Other than that, he has names on his resume, sure, but a few of them don't mean much and a couple others were 35+ years old.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He’s top three pound for pound without question. He’s a great fighter.

His resume is the best in boxing today.

I think he’s going to the hall of fame without question.

But a lot of the names he gets credit for are super sketchy. And a lot of wins could have gone the other way.

And btw I’m not a Canelo hater, I’m a Canelo fan hater. There’s a big difference. But yes it does lead me to say incredibly mean and brutally honest things about him at times hahaha.

razor sharp gift decisions vs top level guys

The Lara fight was a SD. The scores were 115-113, 113-115, 117-111. The 117-111 score was by Levi Martinez.

[lolpz]

I'd say his best wins are GGG, Jacobs, Cotto and Lara. After those you've got Trout and an early KO of Kirkland, which are solid.

Bruh.... Imagine making this thread and then naming 5 ELITE fighters on his resume at the time he fought and beat them.

Name me another active fighter other then Pacquiao who fought and beat 5 ELITE fighters in their prime at their absolute best.
