    But he might not cut it yet, doesn't mean that opinion shouldn't be open to change.

    He might not lose for another ten years beating everyone around. In which case people would change how they see things.

    It just seems to early to assume he isn't at that level for me.

    I find it hard to judge active fighters because we don't know the limit of their capabilities.

    Just judge them on the capabilities they have shown up till now.

    To what end?

    Most opinions will change over the next couple of years.

    To put into context though.

    If Lemieux had a fight with Pacquiao and beat him inside a round then challenged Canelo off the back of that, I imagine Canelo would still be the favourite.

    The option is not to get involved with the thread, no one is going to cut their wrists either way

    I'd hope no one would, that would be a savage reaction!

    I'd expect Canelo to box his way to a UD.

    These tough contender types though like Carter and Briscoe don't seem to exist anymore.

    Both Carter and Briscoe would kick the **** outta Crapnelo.

    Being from an older era, what else do you need.
