    What is it, that has gone down since 1975? The number of pro boxers - or their overall skill level?

    You cannot be an ATG if you vacate a title in order to duck your most dangerous opponent in their prime.

    It goes against the spirit of competition and warrior mentality.

    When did he do that?

    He fought Floyd Mayweather for the Lineal, WBC and WBA Super Welterweight titles and he fought Golovkin for the Lineal, WBC, IBF and WBA Middleweight titles TWICE. (He may fight him a third time this year.)

    This. Canelo simply doesn’t have the resume to be an ATG.

    Then nobody does especially 90% if the fighters many claim are some of their ATG.. Canelo had a great resume. factually

    Depends on what your definition of an "ATG" is. In my opinion he is not even close and the question is laughable.

    And then fought him in 2017, 2018 and likely 2019?

    He's an ATG. These counter arguments are getting ridiculous.

    Everyone knows what an ATG is. And Canelo is clearly one. He has the names. The wins. The titles. The record.

    I agree. He's an ATG but you asked when did he give up a title to avoid someone and I told you
