    How in the top 10 do you have him ranked? he has a long win streak with many defenses and did admirably well vs Bivol

    Never thought about it I’m guessing he probably shouldn’t rank very high at middle. Didn’t spend a whole lot of time there and his main accomplishment are two very close fights with an aging Golovkin.

    As I see it he lost twice to an ageing Golovkin, so behind him somewhere.

    I rank based on resume at the weight. On that basis, Canelo doesn't get anywhere near the top 20 at 160lbs.

    No where near the top 10, probably not top 15

    Why would you assume that he was somewhere in my top ten?

    It's a pretty stacked division, so why would he even be in the top 20?
