Canelo definitely has moments of defensive wizardry. He's made almost everybody he's fought look really bad at times.When Canelo doesn't want to be hit, he's really really hard to hit.
This in no way affects what I said. As of now, Saunders is not a MW. Some day, AJ may box at featherweight. But as of now, he is a heavyweight and we don't talk about where to rank him in the FW division.
C grade fighters don't usually win world titles. I classify C grade fighters as gate keepers, fringe contenders not top ranked fighters in their division with world titles. At worst he's B grade, not as good as the elite A grade fighters but clearly not a gate keeper or pretender. Fact is he's given 2 supposed A grade fighters competitive fights, C grade fighters don't do that.
He was put to "sleep" the same exact way dw put fury to "sleep" Do you see how 2 refs opposites reactions to the same exact situation change history. Fury is praised and looked at much better than Jacob's who has had close to the same careers. Fury looked at as a possible ATG talent while Jacob's is looked at as. Chimey and at best B level... 2 refs opposites reaction changed 2 fighters careers
