    Love him or hate him, Canelo is undeniably an ATG and will obviously be inducted into the IBHOF first ballot, as soon as eligible. He has been the recipient of some very charitable judging though.

    Canelo has fought a long list of solid competition that no one else could beat to the same degree or better thats not an ATG. IMO what proves he is an ATG,

    -GGG fights
    -the Jacobs fight when it came to showing defense skills
    -string of victories against the best of 168
    -managed to beat Kovalev and Bivol failed to put him down which is quite for feat considering how outmatched Canelo was

    He’s had enough longevity at the top to be considered an ATG. He would solidify it by defeating the next generation of top fighters I.e Benevidez, Munguia, Berlanga. If he beats these 3 then there’s no real discussion outside of trolling about him being an atg.

    Alvarez is already an all-time great and a guaranteed future Hall of Famer.

    He is 60-2-2 and a world champion in four weight classes.

    It doesn't matter what we think should have been the results of some of his fights. The only thing that matters is reality. He beat Jacobs, he beat Lara, he went 2-0-1 against Golovkin. He's had two losses in 18 years as a professional and there is no shame in losing to Hall of Famer Mayweather or future HOFer Bivol.

    GGG beat Ginger Twice but the Vegas judges made sure they robbed him of the deserved wins. Best of 168???? Benavidez was his #1 contender the last 2 years Ginger ducked him. Kovalev never stood a chance, He said himself he had no chance was too soon after his last fight Ginger knew this of course. Bivol kicked his azz all over the ring embarrassed him showed him up for what he was A FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ginger fought the weakest of 168 NOT the best Look at his last fight Jermell Charlo hadn't fought for years plus he's 2 weights BELOW Ginger. Now he wants to fight the other Charlo sister who is shot both mentally & physically. Is this how a supposed ATG behaves???? Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Its how a con artist behaves while the state commission looks the other way. We Be Crooks have claimed now that Ginger will have to face Benavidez in 2024 when he already states he fights who he wants when he wants & Benavidez, Bivol at 168 for the titles, & Beterbiev are NOT in his plans Yet you people STILL support him, you must be nuts

    I get you, but i can't overlook the first GGG fight. Just because it was scored for him doesn't mean he outboxed GGG in the ring. Judges result doesn't always mean reality, the consensus is what's meaningful to me
