Is Canelo Still The P4P Number 1?

He is until I sober up.

 

Sure, why not? It's not like P4P actually means anything. Any old flash harry can be on there providing they aren't Eastern European badasses that actually need to be genuinely great to even get a sniff on there.

 

Of course he isn't, wtf.

How is this even a question barely a week after he arguably got shut out?

 

Undisputed doesn't mean you beat everyone. It means you have beaten the belt holders in the division.

Almost every undisputed champion in history lost they belts to a challenger.

 

No, Crawford is #1 now.

 

Canelo never was #1. He lost to GGG twice regardless of what the judges say, and has had a few solid wins mixed in with some cherry picking belt grabs. Here are a list of those ahead of him:

Usyk - undeniably better. Cleared out Cruiserweight against a murderers row of much higher quality than anything Canelo has fought, and won without judges. Then went to HW and beat the champ.

Loma - fighting guys much bigger in a relative sense than Bivol over Canelo, he has dominated all comers, apart from the fight against Lopez where he was injured and still arguably won half of the rounds and in a more dominant fashion.

Beterbiev - will show the unbelievers against Joe Smith. This man is avoided for very good reason. The most destructive boxer today.

Crawford - not a great resume but has shown glimpses of greatness. Needs to fight Spence.

Inoue - the lighter weight classes generally get underrated, but he has dominated at multiple weight classes without A-side judges.

Honourable mentions:
Tyson Fury - needs to fight Usyk to cement his legacy, otherwise he can claim to beating old Wlad and Deontay.
Spence - quality fighter who needs to fight Crawford.
Chocolatito - another small fighter. Possesses beautiful boxing skills fighting a who's who of quality opponents.
Bivol - quality technician but needs to fight Beterbiev.

 

I like how you ignore the other part of my statement...it's ok, I'd ignore it to.

 

You already know I favour Bivol at 168, that's how the posts started, so it hasn't been ignored you weirdo.

 

I wrote:

"From 168 & below, no one can beat him so it's not like the Bivol loss changes that."

So then you wrote Bivol at 168 can do it so I begun to clown you (quite easily really) that a career 175lber who has fought his entire career at that weight for 8 years in his 30's is going to move down 7 lbs & be effective.

 

I know what you wrote, because I quoted it, and I know what I wrote, because I wrote it lol.

Bivol would be a favourite over Canelo at 168, he's just won a dominant decision over him at 175.

You did very easily start to act like a clown, I found it a bit weird tbh.

 

But he doesn't fight there...there in lays the weirdness of your statement.

 

I know he doesn't. But he's already proven to be a class above Canelo and I don't expect 7 pounds to change that.

 

No, he lost. Several times.
And P4P is a meaningless subjective exercise.
We need less actual belts (no super, interim, standby, Mayan, etc.) not imaginary ones.
While AJ had a lot of belts he was still an alphabet champ.

 

So you're not sure...got'cha!
