    No not at this stage.
    He has some elite wins in Golovkin, Kovalev, Smith and Cotto, he also has some solid wins in Jacobs, Chavez, Lara and Mosley too, however he still has another 3 or 4 years at the top and I would expect him to make a stronger arguement by that point.

    If he goes on an epic run of collecting 12 new belts then sure.

    just not at the moment.

    I agree, at the moment floyd has the better resume ... plus he schooled him.

    One was more concerned about being portrayed as a smart business man. The other just wants to fight everyone.......

    Take your pick

    Floyd didn't even clean out his own toilet, he selectively picked low-risk belt holders, but did not unify s-hit.

    .....and 168 may be garbage in your arbitrary mind, but not as garbage as the 152 pound division Floyd created.

    Judah was starched by Kostya Tszyu before unifying at 147. I wonder why Floyd didn't fight Kostya?

    Hint: he was scared of getting KTFO.

    Whatever wins Canelo scores for the rest of his existence, simply boasts Floyd ATG credit.

    168 is generally a trash division. Then again, Floyd took out the trash quite otfen ...

    Two supreme cherry pickers

    He will never be over Floyd but he has and will continue to live with it.

    Golovkin beat him twice, if we're going to use logic like that, GGG is the greatest boxer ever for having 2 comfortable wins over the best boxer of the last 20 years.
