    It was against Ricky Hattons brother and he had never fought at the weight before in his life. It was an embarrassing match up for the WBC belt.

    He was at his optimum weight for the fight. Canelo wasn't.

    even if they pair him with a heavyweight champion that will not fight to win then you can again claim another FAKE win

    Probably a little to early to call Canelo "great". He definitely has time, and maybe in a couple of years we can give him that designation.

    You could say "good" and I don't think a lot of people would disagree.

    He don't get enough credit for it from those who hate him, but that's tipical behavior for a hater.

    He doesnt have to have elite KO power. He has good power, like I said. Good not great.

    Hes the most complete fighter ever.
