Canelo faced and beat way better competition than Crawford or Loma. It's not even close.
Juan manuel marquez put canelo behind crawford

You can put Morales above Marquez, cool, but barrera is not on Marquez’ level.
Morales would probably not have lost to Chris John but he lost to Raheem. I doubt marquez would struggle with raheem.
Marquez-John was close btw but the hometown fighter got the benefit of a doubt.Comment

Exactly this ^Canelo has and is being held to a different standard than other elite fighters. People that rank Lomachenko and Crawford ahead of Canelo are placing a heavier emphasis on performance and, to a certain point, deemphasizing opposition.
Lomachenko's best win is Rigondeaux at 130, which would be like Canelo's best win being over Pacquiao at 160. Crawford's best win is one of Gamboa/Postol/Indongo/Horn, which would be like judging Canelo based on his performances against a lesser version of Cotto/Fielding/Liam Smith/JCC Jr.
What Canelo just did is what Lomachenko refuses to do (fight Pacquiao at 147) and what Crawford hasn't publicly considered doing (fight GGG at 160). Canelo just did an equivalent of that and stopped him. He is the best P4P.Comment

It's called the 'eye test'. It runs rampant around NSB thanks to Max Kellerman, Stephen A. Smith and Teddy Atlas.Comment

You must be on some serious drugs over there. Duran would have probably stopped chavez, and arguello would have outboxed him for 12rds. Chavez always had trouble against good boxers, like mildrick taylor, and sweat pea. Honestly I think Aaron Pryor would have stopped him on his feet TKO, but that's just my opinion. Chavez will always be considered one of the Greatest Mexican fighters ever, just like Canelo will be one day too imo, but there were better mexican fighter's like the ones I mentioned earlier, taking nothing away from Chavez, he was a GREAT fighter and one of the Greatest Mexican Fighters to walk to earth, but you can make clear arguement for those others beating him. Finito Lopez was a better fighter than Chavez in all areas, and will always be ranked higher than chavez in my book, as well as Marquez, Barrerra,Morales, and Sanchez.You do realize i am talking about Julio Cesar Chavez sr. Right? Either you werent born when he fought or you are just ignorant. Dude you need to wake up . Chavez by devastation on those 3. Why o you think people talk about what would happen if He fought Duran or Arguello. Seriously!Comment

Here we go with a race baiter. It has nothing to do with Color nor ethnicity, I just know boxing, and Crawford is on a whole another level then canelo.Comment

Has Marquez ever heaped praise on a Mexican fighter?
It seems every time he speaks on a Mexican fighter its always in a salty and shady way.Comment
