is canelo's resume already HOF worthy?

[boliodogs]

Personally. No. It’s like he’s chasing a cheap ticket to HoF instead of the walking the brick road.
Take out Floyd, Mosley, and Cotto who were all old men.
He’s beaten Lil G the hype job, Jacobs and Lara. Not enough.

I thought GIGANTIC G beat him both fights but he will be in the hall of fame on the first ballot. He has been boxing's biggest star for years and that alone will get him into the hall and he has done enough now. If you study who is in the hall of fame lots of those guys did not do anywhere near as much as GGG and Canelo have done.

Personally I think he’s about good enough for HOF currently with wins over GGG and Cotto.
3 weight champ with one loss to Mayweather. Quite a few good names on his record.
I’m not actually a big Canelo fan but he’s undeniably an excellent fighter and won the second GGG fight imo.

On a side note I don’t think Kovalev’s resume is HOF worthy, which I’ve seen a few posters claim this week.

Um yes, wins over GGG, Lara, Trout, Jacobs and Cotto will get you in the HOF. Not only that, but unified champion at 154 and 160.

I think both Canelo and GGG will be in the hall on the first vote. Canelo has never been a unified champ at 154 or 160 because he has never owned all 4 major titles. That's very hard hard to do and only Crawford and Usyk have done it.

Look at the past Hall of Famers, a lo of them don't have a solid body of work....

Unified champion is when you have two of more of the belts. Spence and Porter are unifying next month.

Usyk and Crawford were the UNDISPUTED champions in their respective weight classes when they owned all four belts.

if he actually beat ggg then maybe. most people didnt think he did. take ggg out of his resume, you still think its hof?

Pvssy-G? Are you serious?? Fvk Pvssy-G, he a pokemon

[j.razor]

didn't beat ggg or lara, trout fight should have been a draw, cotto was old bloated and past his prime (and still was a competitive fight), jacobs win was close.

plus he failed multiple drug tests.

he doesnt belong in hof ever.

Stop the dumb shet. He beat them all.

Didn’t Hopkins at 160 have all four belts? Calzaghe did win all four but not at the same time.

I am reading that posters believe he is HOF worthy because other HOFers aren't HOF worthy either. That is a very weak answer to the question.

Canelo has not convincingly beaten another potential HOFer. Is he popular? Sure, but so is Vanna White and she just flips letters over.

I would like to see him KO or TKO a Kovalev or a GGG and not win a dubious decision.

The fact you’re saying Trout should have been a draw is laughable. Canelo won clearly and I remember he dropped Trout hard too near the end of the fight.
