    Canelo never really beat GGG did he but his " HELP " gave him decisions he didn't deserve Same with Lara & Trout . Counting Floyd & Bivol there are FIVE guys that really beat him 6 losses in all.

    Canelo is 9-2-1 against reigning champions

    Barrera is 4-4 in the category, and it excludes JMM and first Junior Jones fight bc they weren’t champions at the time.

    Again i don't know where he's getting this from that Kelley was faded ? How many more times do i have to say to him he was "Current world champion sitting at 47-1" where is the evidence of Kelley being faded ?

    No i don't agree they were all world class fighters of course they were, i'm not saying they were great fighters. But they mixed with world class fighters beat some world class fighters, and also held a world championship. So to me that all equals to being world class. You don't have to be a great fighter to be world class.

    I only met him twice Another real FIGHTER! His record when he fought Tony was 110 - 12 or thereabouts
    Had a long chat with him his motto was same as Tony's, Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere just give me time to get there.
