Which continent has the most world champs right now though? Not argueing, I just don`t like natinalism at all.
So now you must be more impressed with Pac since he has been doing this pretty much all his WW career, since he's pretty much a LW. Did I forget to mention that he just defeated a legitimate and most accomplished WW champion at the time of fighting in Thurman at freaking 40yrs old? 40 YEARS OLD. While giving up all the advantages in the boxing world, heck including style. GTFO here with this Joke. Pac and May are still leagues above Canelo.
Well if beating an overrated, washed up light heavy who was previously stopped with body shots by a light hitting super middle qualifies him for that, then fine.
Resume wise sure. Having said that Crawford is the best fighter of this era if we are just talking about skills.
He is a great fighter but a proven cheat like fmj. don't even compare him with pac who has never failed a test or been caught using fluids to mask peds.
Settle down. It was a dangerous fight to take and he gets a lot of credit for it. But a devastating boogeyman? We saw the Yarde fight. So did the bookies. It was a very good win. It wasn't a ATG win though. Kovalev is damaged goods and only half the fighter he was 5 years ago. Just in the same way that today's version of Canelo is very different to the one of 5 years ago.
Really? You don't think using the word 'incredible' is an exaggeration? Kovalev is finished as an elite fighter.
I am also of this opinion. Canelo's resume is the greatest of his era, but he fails to amaze or dominate like Loma & Crawford. He's Mr. UD/SD 7-5.
Kovalev, shot shell and past it, could barely make weight. * Jacobs, looking shot and past it, could barely make weight. * Fielding, a never was glass jawed fraud. * Golovkin, shot and past it, got shafted again. * Golovkin, shot and past it, got shafted again. * Chavez Jr., drained zombie shell of a fighter. * Beefy, British level who got his ass beat by Munguia.* Khan, drug up Welterweight, fight was sanctioned murder. * Cotto, a zombified shell, looked terrible in last two outings. * Kirkland, glass jawed fraud, had to drain down from HW. * Lara, was closing in on past it, Canelo still needed a gift.* Angulo, passed out after the weigh in he was so drained.* Mayweather, was hoping he was past it, got schooled* Trout, a prime fighter, even with KD, needed a gift to win.* Josesito, dug him up two divisions, was an utter travesty.* Mosley, an ambling walking cadaver, still couldn't stop him..* Cintron, he was so shot he had to come out of retirement.* Gomez & Baldomir, two more wetaherbeaten zombies.* & * I had no idea "greatness" had so many asterisks.
I still say Crawford is the best fighter in terms of skills but you've got to give Canelo credit. This guy take fights no one else would be willing to take.
