    No matter what Canelo does in the rest of his career he won't be able to surpass TBE

    Idk as far as all time rankings prolly not.
    As far as a beloved fighter of the people , prolly so.

    Paquiao has a better legacy then Floyd in that regard.

    I’d imagine Canelo is on pace with Pac as far as beloved legacy status goes.

    We’ll see how the back half of his career goes.

    I don't like Canelo one bit, but this is a horrible way of looking at things.

    Greatness is about accomplishment, not about H2H. If you base it off of H2H, Jones would be below Tarver, Tyson below Douglas, Pacquiao below JMM, etc.

    Tyson accomplished more than Douglas, and its arguable that Tarver did as much as Roy.
