    168 was an absolute wasteland.

    Callum Smith — schooled and beaten by John Ryder previously
    Avni Yildirum — garbage fighter
    Billy Joe Saunders — has looked garbage for years since schooling a faded Lemieux
    Caleb Plant — best win was Uzi and looked like trash against a shot and never good Caleb Truax (conducted one of the biggest ho ass moves in the history of the sport when he asked Clenelo for validation midfight)

    Clenelo's 168 run is as bad as Crawford's 140 run (Dulorme, Postol, Lundy, Indongo, Diaz).

    Kovalev was shot, coming off of a brutal fight against a prospect that badly hurt and almost stopped him. Had a 3 week break before he had to go right back into camp for Clenelo. Rehydration clause finished Kovalev off before the bell even rang.

    Beating Bivol and Beterbiev (in 2023) will be impressive, however.

    If Canelo becomes undisputed at 175 he’d go down as a top 25ish all time fighter, haters gonna hate but ain’t nobody in the sport of boxing doing what this man is doing currently to try and discredit that is foolish.
    Unified 154 won WBC,WBA,WBO
    Unified and lineal twice at 160 won WBC,WBA,IBF
    Undisputed at 168
    And should he beat bivol would have won WBA & WBO at 175
    Outside of his first title the WBC at 54 won every belt in the ring vs a top 3 or better champion can’t nobody touch this man

    Doesn't matter if it was a wasteland or not, he fought and beat the best.

    He can never be the GOAT, because he is always Floyd Mayweather minus one.

    As for the question, if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon. Why the dumb hypotheticals?

    Ridiculous that he will not surpass a much smaller and older man who cleanly beat him.

    This is ridiculous.

    He's a great fighter and If he achieves Undisputed at 175 and wins a title at Cruiserweight there Is no doubt you have to put him as a ATG.
    However, that PED rumour etc will always drag him down and be his burden. That's why I don't understand why people have Holyfield In such high regard as a HW when he was juiced up.

    That would then mean that Canelo beat 2 more undefeated champions (Dmitri Bivol, and Arthur Beterbiev) and one champion Joe Smith Jr.
    And that would then mean that Canelo is above Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao on the ATG p4p list. IMO

    His clenbuterol use should erase canelita from ever being taken seriously, hes just fighting for money at this point, just like the rest of so many of these roided phony fighters that ever fought.

    No he is totally right. Losses put you out of the GOAT conversation. Joe Lewis, SRR, Ali.... Bums and cab drivers all of em
    Sven Ottke = GOAT. He only had 6 stoppages so he had to box more than other undefeated fighters that got flukey KOs.
