    You have to wonder how some want to down play Danny now but the same crowd was hyping Cheeseburger Jr as a big step up for Canelo when that was like bringing a zombie to the slaughterhouse

    Elite? I asked if he was A level as well. According to your rating style, Terrance Crawford, an undefeated unified champ, is A level. But so is a guy who just lost his last fight, carries no belts at all, has a thin resume. he's A level too. Got it!

    Carl Froch - A Level
    Sergio Martinez - A Level
    -----------------------------

    Arthur Abraham - B Level
    Danny Jacobs - B Level

    You must know Martinez vs Jacobs is not an outright mismatch right? That's a tough match-up to call.

    Judges would give Canelo the fight if he survived and occasionally threw some flurries, fighting in tactical bursts for 20 seconds of each round.

    I think a few fans on here would give Canelo the nod as well, because Roy told them to, or Hopkins tweeted it.

    WTF has resumes got to do with anything. Do they take them into the ring, show one another who they faced in the past and win a verbal debate? No, didn't think so.

    Resumes can not even show at what stages two fighters career trajectories intersected. They are just for intellectually lazy fans with pervasive agendas like dinol

    Martinez has a better resume because he beat better fighters than Jacobs did. Its not rocket science. Jacobs beat nobody to make him A Level , Martinez did. Thats why he's A level and Jacobs is B level.
    You may like boxing , but you certainly know nothing about it.

    Jacobs beat GGG on my card, and is clearly on GGG's level although slipping is still considered P4P number 1. He beat GGG on most people's cards, and plenty thought it was a draw. This is better than P4P star Canelo did, who is without a doubt an A-Level fighter. You'll probably dispute that as well you prolonged of the truth, too scared to face the facts, shameless avoid-ness of reality....Troll.
    That a better name that anybody on Martinez's resume, btw.

    I think he'd beat canelo fairly handily.
