    Pretty special to be in the top 100 if you think about it.

    I was going to say he wouldn’t make my top 100, but have to have a think about it.

    He isn’t in the top 50, not sure where he would be placed historically.

    I basically agree with these posts - I see Canelo as a good fighter (even an excellent one, by today's standards), but the corruption is way too much to bear.

    I have always turned a blind eye to peds when discussing things like fantasy H2H matchups and things. Like for instance, if we were debating RJJ vs Gene Tunney, I wouldn't take Roy's peds thing into consideration. I would just imagine the two in the ring, it's all I can do. Then all the other points like peds or funny score cards can be considered.

    Oh and I am not great at lists, but Canelo probably doesn't make top 100 for me.

    Need an outside 100 option. I think he is 2-1 vs GGG and I’m not in the minority. Then the PEDs stuff. 115/113 Bivol cards make me wanna puke.

    All that being said he definitely has skills I can’t take that away and the man loves to fight I can respect that. However like mentioned in previous posts too many question marks.

    Probably just below Juan Manuel Marquez now. I think he'd be in the top 100.

    3 people voted for Canelo as a top 5 all time? I think they're lost looking for the soccer forum

    Greatest Mexcan fighter by far. #2 on my ATG list right behind SSR. At 160, I pick Canelo to stop SRR inside 3 rounds. The human language has not invented a word to describe Canelo's ability in that ring. Sublime, virtuoso, master, incredible......pffft! These words fall short when trying to describe Canelo.

    Of all time, across all classes, throughout the entire history of the sport?

    Not a chance.

    Ha!

    If you were being serious, you would have a very appropriate username.

    Hey, Stephen Hawkins had brain damage and he was an incredible thinker. LOL Of course I am joking.

    I just reread my post and realized that when I said he is 2-1 vs GGG I meant to type 1-2. I definitely think GGG won the first 2. Musta been sleep deprived when I typed that lol.
