If Canelo clears the entire boxing...

No, not even close

 

What if he moves up to HW and beats Usyk? That'd really shut people up and cement himself as the GOAT.

 

Maybe but his career will always have a big question mark, regarding ped's.

 

I wanna see if Canelo can drop down to 122 lb and fight Inoue

 

Canelo was never undisputed at MW though. Is he going back down to MW? Let's unravel this:

JMW, he was a titlist, but arguably lost to the 3 best guys he fought (officially 2-1)
MW, he was a unified champion but arguably lost to the best guy he fought (officially 1-0-1), there are also titlists that were "sidestepped"
SMW, undisputed (congrats) however one belt he has belonged to someone (still currently active, at that weight) who never lost it in the ring and is still considered the most dangerous in the division.
LHW, he beat a titlist who at the time I believe was ranked at #4 in the division.

So in reality, he hasn't actually "cleared" anything. I respect what he's doing at SMW, he's killing it. But let's not act like he's cleaned up every division he's been at, he definitely didn't. So no, beating Makabu at CW would not make him the GOAT. He has misses in every weightclass and Makabu is arguably only the 4th or 5th best at the weight

I don't like to tear down champions/titlists accolades but I also don't like people going crazy over dominance that ain't really dominance.

 

No.

 

he lost to 3 guys at JMW? Lara, Floyd….and?
Benavidez losing his belt on the scales isn’t Canelo’s fault either, if he could make weight Canelo would have fought him.
I agree with the points on MW.

 

Usyk would batter the poor soul lol

 

That would be a real testament to his greatness.

 

Nowhere near. Mighty.

 

And Trout. Also note the guy you're quoting said arguably, not did.

Benavidez may have lost the belt but that doesn't change the idea that to clear out the division he should fight the largest threat, who is Benavidez.

 

No, but if you added Breidis to this, then yes.

 

lol! I don`t even know if Canelo could have beaten the 5`7 Tommy Burns, this is getting stupid.

 

What if Usyk moved back down to cruiserweight and beat the f*ck out of Canelo?
