    Canelo didn't school Jacobs, he won 115-113.

    In my opinion Canelo isn’t even that good. All he has is a good chin and a lot of power. But he robbed Golovkin Twice he robbed Lara he got outboxed by Plant till the 11th round where he got a luck shot in and took him out. Overall I think Eubank Snr would put on a good show against Canelo. Neither are the greatest fighters to ever lived but I think Canelo is very overrated and could easily lose to Eubank.

    Yes, two different Division, Canelo a weight division below...

    Canelo a Welter cum MW, Eubank a MW cum L-HW... so against some of the Bigger men that Eubank fought Canelo would lose, but overall Canelo is the better fighter, yes.

    Nope. I don't find them better than them actually. I see them as equally good with Watson and Benn. What so good in Watson anyway? His resume isn't that impressive imo. Overall good fighter

    Winning a close fight (or getting a draw) vs. GGG is a far cry from needing to be bailed out against a postman and a journeyman.

    One of them beat prime ATGs the others beacon of success is a controversial fight with a late thirty something.

    You don’t get as far as Canelo has with chin and power alone. He’s much better than Eubank and would beat him pretty convincingly

    This is a joke right? His win over a smaller man WAY past his best fighting weight is better the Eubanks win over a Benn or Watson? Both of whom he stopped.
