    Fairly Mexican despite the red hair.

    Lost 3 times?. The imagination is not valid here. He only lost against mayweather when he was a green boy, but mayweather would beat chavez with a hand in back peak vs peak so it is irrelevant. He knocked kovalev out a huge puncher several weight classes about him. It would be like if chavez fought and knocked out julian jackson at 152 pounds or so. It simply could not happen.

    So no modern boxer can be an ATG, in your opinion?

    Just curious… when was the cut off date (or approx. time), after which no ATG fighters have been produced?

    Bloody hell. We get Reg Gutteridge. Harry Carpenter, Ian Darke and Steve Bunce.

    She could have been interviewing Ali's ghost and I wouldn't even have looked at him.

    Oh my God you take everything SOOOOOO seriously. You must be great at parties.

    Besides, I'm entitled to my opinion that modern boxing is terribly uninteresting. I certainly don't need to validate it to anyone.

    What do you mean by that? Canelo has gotten close fights but won clear only one people can argue is ggg vs Canelo 1, I don't see what's the big deal? Anyone who isn't blind can see the skills he has, plz name me at least 10 Mexican fighter's who's defense is better than Canelo? ?

    First one was too close to call but canelo just edges the second fight for me. Fully took it to GGG and made him miss alot of his big shots.

    Gets a lot of stick on here but canelo has good movement and defence, solid chin good counter puncher don't get the hate..

    Yh he's a ginger but come on its 2020 and that

    You newbies like it or not by the time Canelo retires hes gonna be in there, deal with it Canelo is only 30 and already did more Lopez and Marquez, and I'm a huge fan of Marquez
