    I wouldn't put Canelo as the most talented but probably the most popular.

    Estrada without a doubt BUT he hasn't looked as impressive of late. Regardless, a peak Estrada is better than any other Mexican fighter today.

    Garcia is from USA, so I guess it's between Estrada, 'Zurdo' Ramírez and Miguel 'Alacrán' Berchelt

    Mexican definitely Estrada. He lost a close fight to a prime Chocolatito that could of gone either way. Mexican American fighter with alot of talent had to be Frankie Gomez. He looked like a juggernaut the way he steamrolled Herrera like that. Looks like the 2nd coming of Duran then just disappears! Damn shame.

    Haha, the hate for Canelo on this forum is very real!

    Like, wow. Let your feelings cloud your judgement, huh?

    Been following Estrada since the Roman fight, am a fan, but anybody answering with his name needs to seriously ask themselves when he last had a remotely relevant victory where he showed top flight skill. The answer is 2 years ago. And Tyson was badly faded himself then, so you would have to go another full year back from there. Beating Cuadras would be big time and help the case. I love me some JF Estrada but c'mon fellas.

    1. He's very successful.
    2. Much about his promotion and rise points to "born with a silver spoon."
    3. Lost almost every round to the much hated Mayweather.
    4. Everybody wanted him to fight Golovkin a year ago.
    5. He has defeated many fighters with massive fan bases from Cotto to Khan to Chavez Jr.
    6. Several fights in a row at catchweights. Some people hate that, some defend it, most do both depending.

    Anyone who likes Golovkin, Cotto, Khan, Chavez Jr, Lara, Top Rank, etc. all have agenda-reason to dislike him. Anyone who hates Mayweather, Oscar, HBO, Golden Boy, etc. all have agenda-reason to dislike him.
