    If he will beat Plant legit with long notice and no clauses : maybe top 25.
    Ginger gringo is with first real big career fundament under Oscar and Co under belt.
    Questionable boxer.
    Ruiz Jr I rank higher than Clenbuterol.

    I dunno.

    Saldivar was a great great fighter. So was Sanchez, Olivares, Chavez and Canto.

    So it's really really hard seeing them guys displaced.

    But Canelo has had such a great career so far, and seems to have so much left in the tank, if he fully unifies LHW it'll put him right up there in the reckoning.

    First mexican heavyweight champ. Anybody who followed ruiz since the parker fight and had any inside whatsoever made bank off the joshua fight. Especially after seeing joshuas weight lifting regimine for that one.....lol

    He will probably finish top ten

    Edit: obviously it will be disputed and argued for a long while after he's retired.

    He's hated on here, but this represents nothing in the grand scheme of things

    He's already somewhere top 2-5 and will likely be number 1 by the time he hangs them up

    barring anything catastrophic, hes gonna be an undisputed linear champ at 168 this year. I think that would make him the first mexican since the 70s to be undisputed, and the first in the 4 belt era. If plant is ranked 2 in SMW then he becomes a linear champ in 2 divisions. I think that would warrant top 5 easily? plus hes only 31.

    Yall DKSAB... the people that rank Canelo highly don't know the history of boxing.

    Roid taking? Like all elite athletes? Crucify him.

    Only Floyd Mayweather is better than Saul Alvarez. They are both the "greatest of the history".
