    That first Canelo fight MUST be counted as a win. He was cocncenus winner

    It's not a popularity contest. The result was fair and very representative of what happened in the ring. There's an argument that Canelo won, there's an argument that GGG won. But it was not a convincing win for either fighter, so a draw was the perfect result. It led to a scintillating rematch that elevated Canelo into super stardom.

    The first match's high level of competitiveness elevated both fighters and cemented both GGG and Canelo as ATGs in my mind.

    When it is like 95/5% or something, that is called consensus

    Everyone knows it was a real win & so was the second. Every poll Ive seen had GGG winning both 80% draw 10% Canelo got 10% from his ever faithful groupies

    In my opinion he is a ATG.

    Yes. An underwhelming one but an ATG regardless, he is kinda like Bowe in the sense that he is better in a h2h discussion than a resume-based ranking.

    Yes he is
    I trolled his fans and still believe he should have moved up, but he was a class act

    He's greater than loma and not as great as usyk imo. Though a hw ggg may beat usyk. The guy was a monster and had great skills
