    Lets say Canelo retired today and stayed retired. Where do you see him ranked among the greats?

    He's knocking on the top 10 Mexicans of of all time, obviously when he retires in 5 or 8 year's he will be up there.

    What do you mean "the greats"? He's certainly not within smelling distance of the titans of Greb, Robinson, Armstrong, Charles, Langford, etc. You would probably have a difficult time comparing him to recent greats who had somewhat similar career paths, as well. James Toney comes to mind. However Alvarez is nearing the Mexican top-10.
