    He tried twice, got a draw and a loss in those fights. Also challenged Marquez for unified titles, took a draw in that one too.

      Jolliee must mean sh it. Don't eat to much sh it clown. Your beloved Canelo never unified any weight class and he never will. In fact very few boxers have ever unified a weight class. Only Crawford and Usyk have won all 4 belts in their weight class in many years. I wouldn't expect you to know this because you are an ignorant boxing dummy who doesn't know what you are talking about on anything about boxing.

        Unified and undisputed are two separate things.

        A unified champion has two or more of the major belts:
        WBA (or WBA (Super))
        WBC
        WBO
        IBF

        Canelo Alvarez became a unified champion when he retained his WBC title and won the WBA title against Austin Trout.

        An undisputed champion must have all four.

        There have been four male undisputed champions since the WBO received recognition as the fourth major title (in the three belt era there were several more undisputed champions):
        Bernard Hopkins
        Jermain Taylor
        Terence Crawford
        Oleksandr Usyk

        There have also been four undisputed female champions in the four belt era:
        Cecilia Braekhus
        Claressa Shields
        Katie Taylor
        Jessica McCaskill

              In the Pacman's era, there were fighters who were bigger than belts. Unify these ABC belts means nothing.

                I don't think he spent enough time in any division after flyweight, to do it. Early on, and until he was about 25 or so, he was still growing. And having come from, basically, the streets, he found that the heavier divisions paid the most money. For years, to keep himself as a welterweight he had to eat about 6 meals a day. And eventually he more or less grew into it. He has very muscular, stocky legs which give him a solid base, and from which much of his power begins.

                He began his career 4' 11" tall and weighing 96 lbs. From his early pictures, his head alone much have weighed as much as the rest of his body. I remember thinking, when I saw that picture.."The poor kid"...

                  I feel like the times when he could have he didn't stay at the division long enough to.

                  At 147 he had a short window to unify with Floyd coming back from retirement and the division being so stacked "at first". Basically the same situation he in right now.
