    It's easy to look like an A+ fighters when you face opposition 1 or 2 levels below you, conversely, You're not always going to look you great when you face other top fighters. I rate Canelo a B+ fighter but the 23 yr old is bordering on A.

    He's an A level fighter. Although, there really is no guidelines for these grades. However, I think he has a relatively deep skill set and he's one of the best 10-15 fighters out there. So that's A level in my book.

    I agree with the majority, he is a solid B+

    He fought well against Lara, given that he has cement in his feet and stubby arms, and Lara is arguably the MOST awkward fighter there is today

    After Juan Manuel Marquez finally retires Canelo will be the best fighter out of Mexico he's somewhere between B+ and A-

    surprised if he can make 154 in his next fight. Maybe he make a new 155-156 next time against Cotto or Kirkland,
    Everything to avoid the midleweight boys

    Floyd barely beat Oscar

    Floyd barely beat Castillo

    A win isn't good enough anymore.

    Canelo must decapitate otherwise...= a can.

    Canelo is a class fighter because he doesn't know how to think and adjust, he has no patience and is very unprofessional.
