Why make age an excuse for Canelo?. Tyson was world champion at 20.

Pacman is one active that's definitely earnt it. Let's see how the future pans out for many others...

Saúl “canelo” Álvarez

Nelo! And he is not even done yet !

Damn Hauser went gangsta on this article.

Lots of haters of Hispanic fighters won’t like this one, and Emperor Alvarez approves this article.

Uh, I would take prime Benny Leonard over Lomachenko.

He finished his career with a record of 89-6-1.

Certainly not Lomachenko or crawford. Lomachenko already got hurt by marriaga, got dropped by an over the hill Jorge Linares , got BEAT by a class c fighter orlando salido, struggled by a fighter who had never even been world champion Luke Campbell, definitely not great. Lomachenko has 40 pro fights , his biggest name is a washed up amir khan , a 2 weigh classes smaller gamboa, definitely not great.
