    I've got enough fans on this site I don't need anymore.. You're not right you very easily can go back to those threads and bump me saying anything negative about garcia missing weight before he popped dirty. You're not gonna find it.

    I will say this though right now p4p skill wise Inoue > Canelo. Inoue is still peaking while Canelo is not the same guy stopping BJS and Plant. No way that Canelo goes 12 with Munguia.

    Canelo is a git but I'll vouch for his chin. One of the best I have ever seen.

    Career-long? Donaire by some distance.

    In the listed time periods - Golovkin had Martirosyan and Rolls; Donaire had Young and Oubaali (Gaballo if we count bodyshots).

    Personally, think I'd still rather be a middleweight getting punched by a 2017-18 GGG than a bantam getting punched by a 2019-22 Donaire.

    Golovkin had more heavy thudding power vs Donaires sharp put your lights out and break your jaw and bones power.

    Who Jane Mcdonalds and Paul Buttler? Old Shane is better than the two.Cotto is ahead of old Donaire.Kovalev and Donaire have the same shot sydrome.But you’re gonna pretend Donaire was still prime to suit your Narrative.

    Nah....your wrong man...Canelo has fought better opponents a lot more than Inoue has done. I don't think that 112 - 122 are as tough as 154 - 175.

    Sloppy defense, a come forward, reckles fighter, tailor made for Inoue.

    When Inoue fights a top 10 p4p fighter I’ll agree with you

    Canelo fought in a very good and strong divisions. Unlike Inoue.

    Only good name on Inoues resume is Donaire, Nobody is close to him.

    We can name at least 6 good boxers on Canelos resume, who are far better than anyone until 130 pounds.

    If we are talking on a fictitious "pound for pound" basis, yeah maybe you have an argument, but on an absolute basis... not even close. Laughably so. Inoue would be bodied by at least 10 of Canelos opponents. No one on Inoue's resume is doing a damn thing to Canelo.

    Absolute Basis trumps a fictitious "Lb for Lb" all day.

    I think Inoue is a better fighter though.

    Canelo is better scientists. He's proven that time and time again when you compare their level of opposition, and how they did against it.

    Canelo having fought P4P fighters like Golovkin, Bivol, Mayweather has never been hit as much as Inoue has, let alone dropped.

    He has bigger names yes. He also has losses against the very fighters you're using as a basis in fact. In the 5 fights he had with those 3 he is 2-2-1 and many would argue no better than 1-3-1. He also has narrow wins against Trout, Lara and a faded Cotto gave him a run regardless of the bogus scorecards. Inoue hasn't lost and his fights really haven't been close not to mention he hasn't hand picked his fights or done catchweights either. Both are exceptional fighters. I just prefer Inoue as he is enjoyable to watch.
