Fielding Jacobs Kovalev Smith Saunders Plant Keep in mind how good they were at the time of the bout.
Is it Fielding Jacobs Kovalev Smith Yildrim Saunders or Plant? Keeping in mind how good they were at the time of the fights.
Kovalev as far as name recognition is concerned. Plant Jacobs Smith Saunders from that list. Yildrim & fielding We’re both either mandatory or stay busy fight as he fights 3-4 times a year.
Kovalev This list shows just how great Canelo is and above everyone else. Except for Fielding & Yildim, if any other 160lb champ fought any of the names on this list…it would automatically become their greatest victory (if they even could win). Yet for Canelo, just another payday in his already HOF career
In order from best to worse, keeping in mind how good the fighters were at the time of the bout. What do you think? A quick reminder of who he fought, Fielding 168lbs Jacobs 160lbs Kovalev 175lbs Smith 168lbs Yildrim 168lbs Saunders 168lbs Plant 168lbs
he doesn't fight 3-4 times a year. he fought three times in a year once since 2011 and four times he hasn't done since 2010.
You looking at calendar year, not time in between fights. From September 2018 to November 2019 (just a little over a year)…he fought GGG, Fielding, Jacobs and Kovalev. Or from December 2020 to November 2021 (under a year)… he fought Smith, Yildrim, Saunders and Plant. Again, if any other fighter fought even one of these names (minus Yildrim or Fielding)… it would be their greatest victory. Hell GGG did fight Jacobs and that is indeed is greatest win (not counting controversy in Canelo fights)
Sorry, i basically made this thread twice because the first one didn't go through, turns out it did go through, so now rhere is two similar threads.
Jacobs, and its not debatable. However, Canelo won by 7 rounds and there is a legitimate case for Jacobs winning 6. And this was a Jacobs who had rehydration clause, did nothing the first 5 rounds and shortly after robbed Rosado. Saunders and Smith are not good wins by any means if you look in depth at the context which I've made a separate thread about. Plant fight was a spar imo.. Yeah Plants bang average but it had glaring signs of anoth3r dodgy fix. Less obvious Than Smith and certainly Kovalev. Even if you think Kovaleb fight was a real fight, anyone who considers that a legit good win is even mentally disabled or has very little boxing insight So I guess Canelos.. Pfftttmpfhfhfh..best wins post losing to 36 yo GGG twice... Are... Lmao.. Fielding and drained Jacobs AtG Mexican fighter right there lmao.. Can't believe the guy is in any P4P list.. Boxing fans really are severely low IQ
According to many...Canelo's best win was a loss to 3G, and his SECOND best win was a washed up Kovalev...
