    Make a case for your guy being great, if you can.
    But don't give us this BS.

      he is already a HOF'er but if he beats say Andrade and Charlo or Kovalev next he pretty much ATG status as for GOAT he has to unify 175 and Cruiserweight.

      That's a lot to do lol he can possibly pass Chavez as greatest Mexican fighter ever but of all time only if he beats Kovalev at legit 175 (no catch weights) then unify with Beterbiev Gvodzy winner, beat Smith and unify with Andrade, Charlo and win at least 2 Cruseier weight Belts.

      That's seriously no easy feat but to go down as goat it takes that amount of work imo lol.

        Shut your dumb bytch ass up. Canelo has the best resume in boxing bar none and it’s not even debatable.

          If he beats the Beterbiev-Gvozdyk winner and unifies LHW (which would be crazy), I'd have him as top 3 mexican fighter of all time, mexican GOAT maybe

          After that, he'd need to add more big names, GGG again (this time in a convincing fashion), Charlo, Callum Smith, Andrade, Bivol, Benavidez, Saunders, and maybe a champ a cruiserweight, then he'd really be GOATnelo

            Sugar Ray went from Lightweight to Light Heavyweight.

            If Canelo is better than sugar ray surely he has to do the same?

              no fighter fighting twice a year in their prime can be considered the greatest. There will never be anyone considered the greatest until they can match what Armstrong or Robinson did. Too many belts, weight classes, and not enough fights happening.

                Good fighter, yes. Elite, yes. ATG? Never.

                  Is it confirmed that he's going to fight Kov at 175?

                    He would have to unify MW through meaning 168 as through LHW to even be in the discussion.

                    But if he were to do that, then yes he would have an argument.

                      Canelo is facing the best guy at 175 with no tune ups.

                      thats GOAT sh.it right there

                      even andre ward needed 30 tuneups before facing kovalev

                      with a win canelo is in the GOAT convo easily
