    I gave you my answer.
    In order to properly give an answer here you need in depth analysis.
    A numbers analysis isnt reliable as actual quality and manner of wins.
    For example imo Morales’s wins over Pac and Barrera far outweigh a lot if not all of Canelo’s accomplishments.
    Canelo’s SMW division has been really weak imo,in the Super 6 era he would t have faires well imo.
    Again,numbers dont tell everything.
    Afonso Avea scored more goals in his first Eredivisie season than Ronaldo,but it would be a major reach to say he was a better striker no?

    This is one of the most reasonable, enjoyable Canelo threads I've ever read. Virtually no namecalling, just level-headed opinions. Well done everyone.

    This is closer to how I see it. Many put Marquez ahead of Barrera and Morales, in part I believe because he finished his career stronger, but they had already done so much by the time Marquez really got going. Not an easy trio to seperate.

    All Teddy did was speak the truth about the corruption in the sport, named names too so they got rid of him. He was dangerous he exposed the corrupt dealing Heads would start to roll. Teddy had to go
    Same thing with Margarito both Floyd & Oscar were scared to death of him but he was in the way They had to get rid of him.So they hung him out to dry ruined his career & good name. Floyd "retired" AGAIN after Tony beat 7 bells out of Kneequel Cotto no way was he facing him. Oscar had a change of heart too lol He forgot Tony & picked on little Pac BIG MISTAKE!!! Pac did what Tony would have done KARMA worked that day OK. Slimey Floyd came slithering back after the CSAC's Kangaroo court stole Tonys boxing licence & pushed him out Some hero huh PimpC ROFLMAO

    Teddy is a little eccentric BUT he loves the sport of boxing. He was getting too many corrupt parties very nervous so he had to go. He told the truth & that's something very few do that run the sports entertainment

    none of that, whether true or not, makes teddy any smarter. if he had no association with tyson, nobody would care what he has to say. mainly cause hes consistently wrong about the one thing that hes suppose to know more about than the average casual...boxing. hes just not a smart guy and is consistently wrong with his takes.

    Love how all the Teddy haters ignore that tiny little piece of insignificant context which has ever so conveniently been left out regarding how Teddy was only responding to previous disparaging comments Clenelo made about him not being a top 10 trainer, a top 10 commentator, and most disrespectful and ridiculous of all, Teddy not being a top 10 Staten Island street fighter either :facepalm:

    I have no problem with Canelo being considered one of the top 10 mexican fighters of all time. Top 5 is a stretch

    I actually don't know enough about all the top mexican fighters but all Canelo can do is his best and let the chips fall where they may. He will be regarded highly in many ways.
