    None of them are impressive wins in the scheme of things. I mean I wouldn't consider any on those list hall of famers or atg qty boxers. Canelo marketing team knew to boost his career he had to beat them UK boxers and if his career dipped he can used them again (Ryder) to reboot his career which that's what exactly what he done did. Exact same formula Loma, Linares and Lara are doing. But when they run out of opps there they have to eventually come back across the pond and fight better opponents and take L's. You betcha!

    outside of Beterbiev at 175 it’s really not any HOF level wins he can get at 168/75 because nobody is doing anything they all sitting around hoping to get picked by Canelo instead of trying to become great themselves

    God damn. Look at Canelo's body. There's no way in hell he's not pumped full of PEDS. What a difference.

    There's nothing cringe about that take.

    There's also no truth to any of it.

    Clenelo struggles with slick rangy boxers. There's plenty of truth to it, you just don't want to acknowledge it because you're a fanboy.

    Didn't see his fights with Rhodes or Hatton and still haven't.

    I'll say the best was Ryder tbh, despite BJS winning more of the rounds Ryder actually stuck in there for the full 12 despite taking some hellacious shots and suffered a broken nose from 2nd round.

    Worst by some distance was Fielding.

    Most disappointing though was Callum Smith, he was so ineffective....barely troubled Canelo at all.

    You're only saying that cause you're a hater. See, we could both play that stupid game.

    And stop using words like "truth" it only makes your argument look more ridiculous.

    You said there was no truth to it lmao. I explained why there is. You have no response to that. I am definitely a hater of Clenelo, you're right about that.... But practically everyone who follows boxing knows that he struggles with that style. He's not battering a younger, fitter prime Saunders at 160. No way. Even with his new found roid power he was being outboxed in the early going of their fight, and arguably behind on the cards when he broke Saunders orbital.

    WTF are talking about?

    You insinuated that Canelo was ducking SJW, I said there is not truth to that, where are you trying to go with this? LOL

    Your take is that he struggles with movers yet he convincingly beat Saunders and Plant.
