Why Canelo is P4P #1

[Boxing Logic]

He beat a great fighter, GGG, and he did so well against another great fighter, Floyd, that even though he lost, it was only by majority decision.

Win vs GGG, majority decision against Floyd. That's P4P #1. Can't even debate it. RESUME, b4tches!!!

[moochi]

Lol why not. That's good enough for most (casuals and mexican) boxing fans.

[DumpkinsPlus5]

Lol at giving him credit for losing a fight. I guess De La Hoya the greatest ever. But on a serious note, Canelo's #1 p4p because of his wins over Golovkin and Jacobs. No one's surpassing him p4p until they get a better win then those two or he loses.

I'm fine with it. P4p #1 Canelo

[lieutenant]

Nah, let's crown Terrence Crawford and Inoue #1 since they beat elite fighters like Jose Benavidez and Emmanuel Rodriguez. Because "eye test".

[Joe Beamish]

P4P is meaningless especially in an age when the best rarely fight the best. But yeah. Really neat idea for a new thread.

Canelo is the golden-boy because...

1) he can fight his ass off

2) he has a huge Mexican fanbase

3) he is good-looking and marketable

4) he will fight anyone, and probably win... outboxing the rangiest, out-fighting the toughest... James Toney-like skills/etc





G should have backed up his big " anyone from 154-168 " mouth

he may have even won some of those fights...

maybe even become the A-side himself... possibly even enjoyed close/controversial wins over guys like Lara, Cotto, Saunders, Charlo, Andrade... oh, and guys like Ward/Kovalev... just like G enjoyed his close/controversial win over Derevyanchenko

while you guys made excuses for him, the boxing world moved on

I'm fine with it. P4p #1 Canelo

Shouldn't it be Loma?


What's your criteria?

[boliodogs]

Every boxing fan has his own personal pfp top 10 best list they can arrange anyway they like and nobody else can tell them who to put on their list or in what order. You think Canelo is number 1 then put him number 1. I think GGG beat him both fights so GGG and a few others are higher than Canelo on my pfp top 10 best list and I could care less what anyone else thinks about it. I don't tell anyone who to put on their top 10 best pfp list. That is their choice and my top 10 best pfp list is my choice.
