    Canelo is a very good fighter who benefits from extreme favoritism and corruption.

    Canelo was killing himself to make SWW and it showed. He is better at 160 than 154. And if you think Jacobs is a natural SMW then its like saying you think he's overly drained to make 160

    They are weight classes, not height classes.. or Tua would´ve been the strongest MW ever.

    Beating SMW due to him having rehydration clauses and making them kill themselves while he doesn’t have to worry about it because he’s naturally smaller

    I dont think Smith would bother his ass with him then. He wouldnt bend to stupid demands.

    Canelo had a re hydration clause for Rocky Fielding, if that's not greatness then IDK what is :Saeufer:

    lol Clenelo is freaking tank at 160 and the fuel tank of said tank is full to the brim with 100% unadulterated Clenbuterol. If Canelo was coming in on fight night at 172 down at 154 six years ago how much does the hulked up Canelo 2.0 aka Clenelo weigh on fight now up at 160 who is clear bigger since going on his tainted meat diet?

    All the Canelo butt lovers are hurt, but in this case, the fake psychologist Atlas is telling the truth.

    Canelo is not a great fighter, and Hagler and Leonard would have pushed to get Jacobs out of there.

    Both those statements are accurate.

    Uh, no, Canelo was killing himself to make 154. He's fought at SMW with no problems whatsoever and is shredded at the weight. No "natural" 154 guy looks like that at SMW.

    I'd honestly say 160 is probably the right division for him but it's clear that he's quite comfortable at 168. I suspect Canelo will be seen as a "great" in 10 years. With several caveats, of course ;)
