    The most overrated fighters are GGG and bud Crawford at least in this era, never in history have I seen guys stan so hard for fighters who have never beaten anybody elite ever and even though it’s been proven they difficult to deal with and would prefer easy paydays over negotiating big fights guys still go to bat for them

    He was overrated, but over time I can see him becoming underrated.

    he’s an excellent fighter but the corruption and the manufactured feel ruins it

    Canelo is the real deal despite his deck stacking ways. Trains very hard, clens very hard and is a challenge for anybody near his weight class.

    Anyone who knows me will realize that I'm far from a Canelo fanboy, but it seems to be that you don't recognize Canelo's skill.

    At first sight he does look slow, gasses out, and doesn't throw all that much, yes, but there's quite a lot of clever, skillful stuff going on that isn't immediately apparent, e.g. his timing on his counterpunches is immaculate.

    Benavidez might well beat the current version of Canelo (if they fight, and if he given a fair shake with the judges - two big ifs) but even that would not make Canelo a fraud.

    No.That distinction belongs to his countryman Ricardo Lopez.

    Classic answer from someone who cannot find a logical answer. Only casuals rate both Canelo & Floyd because every time they entered the ring they had Vegas boxing officials & even the State Commission backing them.
