I never seen a fighter that is a ATG without one great win he dominated or won without debate. All his big fights end up debatable on who really won.

Def a hall of famer. Easy. Not an atg yet though but he’s got his best years to make a case (assuming he hasnt taken too much punishment. He’s been fighting at a VERY high level for 7 years or so years now)
Originally posted by 4truth View PostProbably he is BUT he couldn't win a round against Floyd and on most people's scorecards lost twice to a fighter who was a couple years passed his prime.
And it’s not “most” people and he only started being past prime when dudes started fighting back. :/...what a coincidence.Last edited by NearHypnos; 10-22-2018, 12:29 PM.

But acting like all you need is to be linked with the right promtoer is just dumb. I like people to remember on the eve of Victor Ortiz potentially looking at going to prison it's easy to forget that there was a time when BOTH him and Canelo were on Golden Boy and it was Victor Ortiz NOT Canelo that was their prized possession. It was Victor who was seen the can't miss superstar and having the bigger ceiling and got the bigger push from Golden Boy. Victor was seen and promoted as the NEXT Oscar the next Golden Boy. He got the fights and time after time he lost, losses in humiliating fashion where he self destructed. And still got multiple more chances and set up continually for more fights and just kept failing. So yes being with the right team get's your foot in the door but it's up to you to shine and take care of business in the ring when you get there. Canelo did and many fighters got oppurtinites and couldn't. You can't do what Canelo has done and not be great and you can't reach the heights Canelo has reached without getting the right fights you need both.

GGG showed up to the press conference like
no amount of tears changes the fact that Canelo whooped that boy, walked him down, broke his face and sent him running out the ring crying. Canelo will definitely go down in history as the better fighter and having the better career.

Oh he beat Gennady twice, but I dont consider GGG an ATG so...
