Is Alvarez's Resume Overrated?

[lolpz]

I think for some people...they look at it and say going 12 with old Mosley at 154...or 12 with OK Trout at 154...or 12 with old Cotto at 155...I mean those aren't exactly impressive performances...those weren't prime pfp greats he was facing and he didn't exactly knock it out of the park.

I thought he beat Lara 7-5 but a lot of people don't think he really excelled in that fight either...Jacobs a solid win but not as dominant imo as some of Nelo's fans try to make it...and many seem to feel he lost twice to GGG...and then the Mayweather loss as well.

If you just look at 'name' then yes Nelo as well as Pac have by far the best 'resume' now...but I think you have to look at when/where/what weight/how you performed etc as well with a resume...and Nelo hasn't exactly faced the best versions of most of his big names, and has not really excelled and dominated against any of them.

It seems like Floyd and Nelo fans unite on this stuff..because Nelo is following Floyd's formula of taking on a good name at the end (or beginning) of their career...so they want to highlight those wins to hype up the resume...but imo it is a little strange to act like Mosley Cotto etc were great wins in the circumstances in which they were won.

Who you beat matters...but you have to combine it with what weight/age/place/how you won etc...and in those areas Nelo's resume is still really solid, he is a great fighter...but yeah I do think it is a little overhyped.

Can you name me a better resume with better wins?

I'll wait.

Level of comp I think Canelo's is probably slightly higher than GGG's but it's close...but GGG has been much more impressive imo in the way in which he has won his fights.

GGG does have the benefit of being at the end of his career though, while Nelo is only 29.

Pac has more losses than Nelo but I'd have to put him above anyone pretty clearly right now...what he has done, moving up in weight like that, is pretty incredible.
