    Against? Lara and GGG 1 sure. Boxing is a what have you done lately for me sport. Give me Canelo in his prime against Lara back in 2014 any day. Also Canelo beat GGG in their second fight and made the adjustments.

    Mayweather shut him out. He looked like a plodder, wasn't the best version of him but if you're one of the best skilled fighters you can't be getting boxed like that, no matter at what point in your career you're in. He struggled with Trout too.

    Mayweather is the goat. Being shut out by the goat doesn't mean you're not p4p.

    Yeah nah, if we're talking skills, even if it's Mayweather, he had to do better. Lara too, I mean dude didn't know how to cut the ring off against him AT ALL, Lara could have started running a marathon that night and Canelo would just be chasing him in circles.

    GGG 2 too, got his head jabbed all night - poor defense, couldn't really cut off the ring as well as GGG was always in his preferred range. His toughness won (actually I didn't think he won at all but whatever, I'll leave it) him the fight, if he wasn't half as tough GGG would have KO'd him.

    Stop CST. Trout didn't beat Canelo. C'mon man. GGG beat him the 1st time no the 2nd time. Even if you had Trout beating Canelo that was almost 6 years ago.

    That was half a decade ago.
    And no, not GGG 2. He didn't have poor defense. His defense wasn't as excellent as the 1st where he barely got hit by clean shots, but we know that when you come forward you're far more vunerable.

    Pinoy scored it for Trout, IB scored it for Trout, I scored it for Trout. All three of us aren't haters. Trout won.:deal: Go back and watch the fight again, Trout controlled the fight through the majority of the rounds and boxed brilliantly, arguably he evened up the round Canelo dropped him in, it was probably one of Austin's strongest rounds.

    How can you put Lomachenko ahead of Canelo? He got knocked down in his last fight. Canelo has never been knocked down in his entire career.
