    Yeah, I know people do. Hence why I said he boxed evenly with them, not out-right beat them. Eh, I'd say putting in a level with Trout is grossly underrating him, I can't see Trout out-boxing Ray Leonard in my darkest dreams or the depths of my imagination. I just can't.

    Moore was talented, in the same way that Wilder, Valero, Khan ect. are; moreso physically than skill-wise. And yeah Durán minced him, no disagreements there, pal. Benítez's ankle undoubtedly played a part in the fight, but it was from doing down anyway.

    Yeah, good point on Norris. I know that he's accomplished, but I can't stand him, don't overly rate his résumé and was glad to watch every KO he suffered.

    Oh right, so you don't mean at peak for peak Toney would lose to Canelo? I can't see that. Toney who wasn't arsed about the fight could've lost to Canelo though, I agree.

    Yeah, I know, I've seen it. Nunn was broken down by a harder hitting body-puncher who threw much more than Canelo. Since Canelo doesn't have the sting of Toney, or the volume, I can't see it. Nunn's also a pretty bad style for Canelo.

    I've never ever seen a convincing case for Canelo winning the first GGG fight. Ever. I'm not saying it's not possible, but when almost everyone who can score a fight well has it for GGG, I'd say that's pretty comprehensive.

    (If you haven't noticed, I'm a pretty big Nunn, Toney and Kalule fan)

    People seem to have a lot of nostalgia over fighters in years gone by which is cringeworthy at times.... some of these people have probably only ever seen a 5 minute highlight reel or 1 or 2 fight max of the guys there mentioning lol.

    I'm not a Canelo fan especially after the Mexican meat saga, but that aside he's a top elite level fighter and would certainly more than hold his own with numerous top class fighters from previous era's.

    He could knock out Terry Norris because unless Norris has a perfect night like the Brown rematch, he probably rushes in stupidly and gets caught.


    He could outpoint Duran at 155 and upward.

    He beats Oscar and Trinidad at 154 and 160 imo.

    He is 50/50 with winky at 154, beats him at 160

    He beats Vargas at 154
