    Canelo a top fighter? LMAO he doesn't have any convincing win over any top level fighter.

    He won't touch a certain fighter with a 10 foot pole in his own division.

    There are plenty of "top fighters" with no wins over A level fighters. GGG comes to mind
    Everyone considered him a top fighter at the time. It was a great win for mayweather

    Mayweather has set such a high standard throughout his career, that a close, competitive fight is characterized as "life and death". Was Mayweather hurt, swollen, ready to go, knocked down???....cause thats what youd expect in a fight that was "life and death." The fact that People have to go back 14 years to a fight that he won, to try and attack his resume is a testament to his greatness.

    He's *****ing out and won't fight the best man in his own division.

    Give us a good reason why you bring this up despite it being brought over 100 times already?

    Why am I not surprised to hear this from you?

    While, I agree with some of your opinion. I have to say Hatton was a top level competitor. IMO, the fight would've been different if the ref didn't help Mayweather and did his job properly.

    60% of ringside observers thinking Mayweather won means nothing. I've lost count of the number of times 'ringside observers' collectively made massive howlers.
