And Canelo will always be known as a drug cheat. All the greatest fighters in history have a loss on their record. Only the ones who were never tested against PRIME elites retire undefeated.
Hopkins lost his first pro fight to Clinton Mitchell. By your reasoning Clinton Mitchell owns Hopkins and has a better resume than Bernard Hopkins.
If Mitchell was a 3 time world champion and p4p one of the greatest fighters in his division like Salido was then yes I'd say he has a case for a better resume than Hopkins but he wasn't any of that. Salido was the best feather since Manny in his prime.
It's apples to bazookas claiming there's any similarity.

That's a damn lie considering Calzaghe beat a prime Hopkins.
The important thing to remember about Salido has nothing to do with a few low blows or him coming in overweight.
The point that should be focused on is that Siri, as crude as he is, gave us all a blueprint on how you beat Loma.
I would argue that the reason it has yet to be duplicated since is that Loma and Co have been very careful not to fight anyone who has a chance of duplicating it since.
Gonna be interesting if and when he gets in with someone who can bang AND has enough craft or chin not to be too bothered by Loma's dazzle.
