    It's crazy to take Canel is actually very skilled and devoted to craft BUT money changed his mentality. also the fact he feels justified that he has earned who to fight or who not fight. It's funny how Mexicans do not criticize him more for not fighting the the best compared how the other Mexican legends did. I think he would do well against

    Yes, he's got options, but other than Bud or winner of Benavidez/Morrell, who do you believe he can fight that can generate a good PPV sale that would enable the promoter to not lose money while guaranteeing him his $35-40 million??

    You're mistaken, he's disliked by millions of Mexicans. I've asked a number folks that are Mexican and they can't stand him..

    What I meant was disliked by even more . I enjoy watching Canelo and love his style but yes he's ducking David and that will hold for being all time great among the Mexican fighters.

    Surace had Freddy Roach in his corner. He saw something.

    Even his most ardent fans would find it hard to argue that he isn't ducking Benavidez.

    There has NEVER been a Crawford victory that has been heavily disputed has there?

    I asked you IN YOUR OPINION to name Canelos FIVE best wins and you never bothered to list any of them. Now again instead of making excuses NAME Canelos five best wins IN YOUR OPINION.

    1. GGG (Lost first fight for sure).
    2. Lara (Close fight, not a robbery but could have lost it).
    3. Cotto (Scorecards were too wide, still Canelo won it).
    4. Kovalev (Losing fight until he KO'd Kovalev, who had a quick turnaround from his prior bout. KOV was also washed).
    5. Callum Smith or Billy Joe Saunders (pick your poison here, I think Callum Smith is a little underrated).

    1. No way GGG lost that first fight.
    2. Lara was to blame because I thought he moved way too much but a draw would have been fair in my opinion.
    3. Jesus Cotto was 35 years old at the time and only fought what 2 more times after Canelo? Why was that?
    4. Kov was SHOT to pieces and it showed in his prior fight and that is why Canelo picked him. And if he wasn't shot what did Kov do AFTER his fight with Canelo?
    5. I would select Saunders honestly. Beat a slick fast southpaw and did it in spectacular fashion that left no doubt. Excellent win for Canelo. I think you are thinking what Callum Smith's potential might have been instead of actual accomplishments.

    I think you're right about Callum Smith, BJS might be Canelo's best win. And that's pretty sad for a supposed ATG.

    That is what I am saying!!!!! Canelo is talented but he isn't close to what people think. He isn't even in the same league as a Julio Ceaser Chavez like everybody likes to pretend.

    Canelo is a first ballot HOF for sure but he's not an ATG. I doubt he'll prove to be one by the time his career is over as well.

    He is great in his own way but when you put him up and compare his stats with someone similar then you realize how his stats are inflated to a degree.
