    Theyre considered world class is its Canelo fighting them & getting a hometown decision over them though aren't they?? Fielding , Plant etc Even Kovalev said he knew he had no chance of winning. Till he met Bivol !! That was a real schooling

    I would vote for Tony, Ike & Paulie over Canelo YES!! All 3 were FIGHTERS!! They fought & won by using their abilities Canelo had the Commission, Vegas boxing & their officials plus USADA covering his back just like Floyd did.. I have no respect for anyone that I see cheating to get success Oh BTW who is Buck ??????

    Barerra was never pfp 1 like Canelo.

    Canelo wasn’t getting beaten by Junior Jones level guys.

    Only 1 answer.

    Canelo never really beat GGG did he but his " HELP " gave him decisions he didn't deserve Same with Lara & Trout . Counting Floyd & Bivol there are FIVE guys that really beat him 6 losses in all.

    Canelo is 9-2-1 against reigning champions

    Barrera is 4-4 in the category, and it excludes JMM and first Junior Jones fight bc they weren’t champions at the time.

    Again i don't know where he's getting this from that Kelley was faded ? How many more times do i have to say to him he was "Current world champion sitting at 47-1" where is the evidence of Kelley being faded ?

    No i don't agree they were all world class fighters of course they were, i'm not saying they were great fighters. But they mixed with world class fighters beat some world class fighters, and also held a world championship. So to me that all equals to being world class. You don't have to be a great fighter to be world class.

    Lineal champion from 1998 to 2001 fact

    I only met him twice Another real FIGHTER! His record when he fought Tony was 110 - 12 or thereabouts
    Had a long chat with him his motto was same as Tony's, Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere just give me time to get there.
