IMO Canelo, Chocolatito, Usyk, and Donaire have already reached ATG status. How would you rank these 4 from best to worst based on resume and achievements?
Cant rank Canelo over Usyk with so many question marks on his resume. 1. Usyk 2. Canelo 3. Chocolatito
Currently: 1-Canelo 2-Usyk 3-Roman All ATG fighters who were born after 1980: 1-Canelo 2-Usyk 3-Ward 4-Donaire 5-Roman 6-Loma
In defence of Roman, 1) He met his strongest competition in his fourth weight class. (115 lbs. remains a shark pool). 2) His first fight with Rungvisai was every bit as close as Canelo-Golovkin 2. 3) Many feel he should be 2-0 against Estrada 4) He is fighting Estrada again this December Roman is still a P4P fighter whose dominance from 08-16 was awesome. I'm not convinced you can put Usyk and Canelo above him.
As good as canelo is, he is not better than usyk or chocolito. The reasons are: He lost both ggg fights He went life and death with lara He used doping and is still using it He is a notorious a side as... hole. The other two are clean and fight whoever they get and go to their backyards and still win without buying judges and taking drugs
You could legitimately argue Usyk has yet to face a great fighter. Unifying belts is nice and all but what makes unifying cruiser any more impressive for a man his size than say unifying light welterweight or lightweight like Crawford or teofimo? It's not like the cruiser of old where you had to be sub 190 pounds Usyk is a natural 220 pound man. Right now Usyks best wins are Joshua and gassiev. Pretty good, don't know if I'd call it great especially since Joshua had already been knocked out by a guy who's not even a top 5 heavyweight
