    It was a draw and he won the rematch against a top 20 middleweight of all time.

    Remind be who the best person is that Graham beat? Who was the best person Trout beat and how many loses did he have when Canelo beat him?

    Remind me why Steve Collins is more important than Sergei Kovalev.

    Reading you post, it seems that you ignore that Mike fought at light heavy.

    Harding for the WBC title. that is a better win than the faded Kovalev in my opinion

    It’s not. We’re talking about Kalambay though so you’re way off topic. Kalambay didn’t accomplish that.

    All right then. But Sumbu's win over Mc Callum win is better than any win on Canelo's record, do not you agree? That is relevant because this is head to head.

    He went 1-1 with McCallum at 160. Has nothing to do with beating a 175 champ.

    The win is in about the same class as beating GGG, except McCallum won his rematch whereas GGG lost and was walked down in his.

    Do you think Canelo would be skewered if it happened to him?

    I do, but I don't think it'd be necessary. If Nunn KOed Canelo in one I'd call that a fluke too.

    Do you think it was a fluke or do you think Nunn stopping Kalambay early would have happened again?

    Make sure that you remind everybody that Nunn beating Kalambay was a fluke in the Toney threads where Nunn is bigged up, tyre-like, with a hose of compressed kudos stuck up his ass ;)

    I don’t really believe in flukes. Nunn was capable of doing exactly what he intended.

    A fluke to be would be something like Grant rolling his ankle against McCline.

    If that happened to Canelo, posters would be piping up saying Pepino Cuevas would ko Canelo.

    Hold on, I never said that him beating Kalambay was a fluke. Stop putting words in my mouth. I said him KOing him in one was a fluke. It'd take a special kind of drug to say that Kalambay definitely would have won if he was KOed in one.

    Nunn would beat Canelo as well lmao
