    Mares has accomplished more but I personally think Alvares is the better all round fighter

    Mares has one of the best resumes nowdays (Perez-Agbeko-Darchinyan-Morel)....Canelo's best win was against a faded Sugar Shane

    Both guys are pretty respected for the most part. Canelo is WAAY more known, so that will affect things surely.

    Not even close: Mares deserve far more respect for his much better resume. However, Canelo seems to get respect for doing virtually nothing of note besides win titles over blown up JWWs/WWs and/or shot-to-**** fighters.

    Mares lost all respect when blow blowed Agbeko and got away with it.

    Abner Mares deserves more respect, he isn't really a big name but he has beat some top class fighters, and will be fighting another one tomorrow in Moreno.

    fans of both guys and hope both have great careers. But in terms of respect? Mares easily. Saul needs to build his resume.

    resume and opposition, easily mares. mares has fought every risky and top opponents given the chance while GBP continues to protect their cashcow.

    These threads will be bump worthy 3 years from now.
    When all you haters will be paying your $60 waiting on Alvarez to lose.
