TBRB are the most respected ratings. Nobody can accuse them of being biased because their owners have certain fighters under contract like RING and ESPN.
Less than 2 years after he tested positive for PEDs.
I respect the TBRB immensely but what does it say when they don’t penalize Canelo’s cheating?
His resume and accomplishments are absolutely deserving of the top spot. His clear cheating should be noted with an asterix or something.
Stop it. It wasn't clear he was cheating, in fact the experts at WADA even said it was likely contamination. They know more than you. WADA has even changed their rules, now Canelo wouldn't have even had a positive under their new rules. WADA have acknowledged their threshold was wrong and innocent people were being flagged. Time for you to drop your hate.

Actually it was clear he was cheating, which is why he was suspended.
That the threshold has been recently changed doesn’t in any way mitigate any positive prior to the change.
In fact, the change should raise more su****ion in the the wbc, a sanctioning body headed by a Mexican, made these changes in light of all the recent positives by Mexican fighters. But that is another discussion.
There is no hate in my post. Canelo tested positive and imo the TBRB should note that next to his ranking.
Not even TBRB members agree with TBRB. Not even founders. Cliff/BoxingScene seems the most fair, honest, and historically accurate so far, to me. I'll be keeping my **** in house.

If you disagree, fine.
WADA made the changes. They made the changes because innocent people were failing tests, yes it does mitigate Canelo's test, he would not have failed under these rules. If the experts on PEDs can admit they were wrong and up the threshold then you that know very little should accept it. Canelo failed test was very likely to contaminated meat. It's impossible to come to the conclusion that he was "CLEARLY CHEATING" only a hater would do so.
