    The decision doesn’t always tell the tale of the fight, my brotha.
    Larry Mosley
    Trout
    Lara
    Ggg
    Mayweather
    You do realize robberies are a real thing. Right?

    Why not? He's only 29 and still has a lot of fights left.

    No mames you don't even know what a "robbery " is, All those fights were close fights except the Mayweather fight, now Chavez vs Whitaker that's a perfect example of a robbery

    I'm not gullible, I just don't make drug cheat accusations based on conspiracy. I make them based on failed tests

    Canelo isn't an ATG, he's gonna get into the HOF easily because of his star power. He's a highly skilled guy and from a contemporary standpoint, he's elite. He hasn't done one thing to even be considered a potential ATG. He has never dominated a weight class at any point in time in his career. He's struggled to too many questionable decisions, he has yet to truly conquer any division he's campaigned at. He's arguably lost his 3 biggest fights, plus 2 other fights (all in the last 5 years). He's extremely vulnerable to a specific style and has very few answers for that style. He does not look good or shine against that style. His handlers have done their best to avoid that style and fighters that exhibit that style. That's not what ATGs do.

    Look, No one "currently" fighting other than Pac is an ATG. No one has built the resume or shown the level of accomplishment at this point in their career. And I'm not being biased, I mean that for Loma (who I'm extremely high on), Usyk (who I'm also very high on), Crawford, Mikey, Golovkin, and whoever else you wanna throw into the conversation. I think there are some guys that may one day become ATGs if certain things concerning their fights and continued trajectory of dominance continues but at this point, that level of active fighters belongs to Pac alone.

    ATG is still a pinnacle of achievement. HOF level is fast becoming diluted.

    I agree Margarito Cheated BUT so did Steroid Shane & Roid Jones yet they werent banned Tito's wraps contained same things according to nazeem. Why wasnt he banned???

    I think you misspelled Canleo.
    It's actually spelled Clenelo.

    The only fights Clenelo clearly lost were Mayweather and GGG 1.

    Unifying the middleweight division would be absolutely huge. Why not just target Andrade and get it done. That fight is no harder than Trout and Lara, and Clen clearly won this fights rather easily.

    What's interesting for him after that? GGG 3, Charlo, Munguia, maybe Hurd moving up? At some point , maybe immediately, he's releasing all the belts anyways.

    Callum Smith or Kovalev are just cherries on top after that.

    Look idiot Its no secret to anyone that knows me my
    sn was CJ The ROCK when I first joined the forum in around 2002 probably. Another guy had the name
    JJ The Rock I believe it was so I dropped The Rock part in 2009. That clown drenlou started BS I was using Alts ,which I have never done, & was "exposing me" lol
    The Mods can verify this I'm sure.
    Take my advice drop the hate for Tony Margarito & take a close look at the "heroes" you worship. You claim to be a boxing fan, & for a long time I thought you were, but I guess I was wrong youre just another troll trying to cause trouble. Give it up & grow up

    There are close fights but for people who say Lara won or Trout won, there are more who would say Canelo won if those 2 guys got the decisions.

    Lara vs canelo reminded me of de la Hoya Trinidad only where Oscar gassed and ran the last 4 rounds, Lara finished strong.

    Why are people arguing about where he ranks when he still has years if not decade left. This is better done when he actually retires.
