    Both champions in their prime, different weight classes obviously. Who is overall the greater fighter?

    Fighter? Joshua and it's not even remotely close. Much bigger, heavier, more muscle mass and power.
    Canelo wouldn't last 5 minutes in a fight with Joshi

    Canelo without question.

    He's the more dynamic fighter, better chin better resume and has actually travelled to fight outside of his country.

    Saying that they're both manufactured over protected brand products who enjoy aging their rivals out before they find the balls to get in the ring.

    P4P Canelo is the better fighter, he is less flawed.

    Both are actually similar but Canelo is a notch above him in every department except for power.

    AJ is crushing his opponents, champions and living legends. Curious about Saturday! Canelo on the other, while looking very skillfull, struggled in the past and won in controversy decisions.

    The queston is, is GGG a better fighter than Wladimir Klitschko?

    P4P skills, Canelo not even close but that's almost always the case with smaller fighters vs heavyweights. When you get to AJ's size there's just certain things he can't physically do.

    Joshua has the better resume and of course would knock his head into the clouds if they ever fought.

    Anthony Joshua.

    Unified heavyweight champion of the world, Olympic gold medalist, defeated one of the greatest champs Wladimir Klitschko and conquered 3 out of 4 championship belts.

    It's never a good idea to match up HW's against smaller guys. The lower weight class guys almost always are going to be superior in most attributes (i.e. combination punching, footwork, handspeed, etc.) outside of power.

    Joshua has some pretty good technical ability, especially for a HW, but Canelo is a much more complete fighter at this stage of his career. His defensive ability is underrated IMO; Alvarez has evolved into a well-rounded fighter from his WW days.

    He doesn't have the better resume unless you live in AJ's bum. its extremely sub par outside of Wlad who was an old cracked shell

    Cotto
    Trout
    Chavez
    Mosley
    GGG
    Lara
    Khan

    Is far superior to

    Takam
    Whyte
    Charles Martin
    Sprott
    Parker
    Gavern
    Breazelle
    Kevin Johnson
    Gary Cornish
    Molina
