    Pretty special to be in the top 100 if you think about it.

    I was going to say he wouldn’t make my top 100, but have to have a think about it.

    He isn’t in the top 50, not sure where he would be placed historically.

    I basically agree with these posts - I see Canelo as a good fighter (even an excellent one, by today's standards), but the corruption is way too much to bear.

    I have always turned a blind eye to peds when discussing things like fantasy H2H matchups and things. Like for instance, if we were debating RJJ vs Gene Tunney, I wouldn't take Roy's peds thing into consideration. I would just imagine the two in the ring, it's all I can do. Then all the other points like peds or funny score cards can be considered.

    Oh and I am not great at lists, but Canelo probably doesn't make top 100 for me.

    Need an outside 100 option. I think he is 2-1 vs GGG and I’m not in the minority. Then the PEDs stuff. 115/113 Bivol cards make me wanna puke.

    All that being said he definitely has skills I can’t take that away and the man loves to fight I can respect that. However like mentioned in previous posts too many question marks.

    Probably just below Juan Manuel Marquez now. I think he'd be in the top 100.

    3 people voted for Canelo as a top 5 all time? I think they're lost looking for the soccer forum

    Greatest Mexcan fighter by far. #2 on my ATG list right behind SSR. At 160, I pick Canelo to stop SRR inside 3 rounds. The human language has not invented a word to describe Canelo's ability in that ring. Sublime, virtuoso, master, incredible......pffft! These words fall short when trying to describe Canelo.

    Ha!

    If you were being serious, you would have a very appropriate username.

    I just reread my post and realized that when I said he is 2-1 vs GGG I meant to type 1-2. I definitely think GGG won the first 2. Musta been sleep deprived when I typed that lol.
