    Well, we dont agree, I think that both decisions were fair. And I consider that canelo is better than gg, in offense and in defense too, both.

    The doping, well, he has no defense at all... I wont defend him. F him, he disapointed me so much. So so much.

    How could you not include Canelo? The dude is in my eyes one of the best pure "boxers" today. I had GGG winning both fights on my scorecards with the second being a close fight, but that doesn't take away from him being a truly excellent pugilist. I like him and he'd definately be in my elite list.

    Canelo is the new Floyd. NO ONE gets a fair crack of the whip against him in Vegas, He;s 3 points up on the judges cards before the bell for round one rings
    Not to mention IV gate & Clenbuterol disgraces

    Moonelo got decision wins over Lara & Trout courtesy of the Vegas crooked officiating system The two GGG fights were just out & out robberies. That leave Pinky Cotto ?????

    You don't know **** about boxing if you think Canelo lost to Trout and Lara, the Trout fight was very close but the knock down made the difference similar to GG vs Jacbos, Lara was just running the whole fight

    Yes I know what you mean and it’s not that I don’t feel he’s good enough,which is why I’d like him to do it on his own.
    I just know how fickle fans can be so if Canelo had lost both fights against Golovkin would he still be considered elite,bear in mind this ain’t Golovkin of a few years ago.

    This is what I was alluding to and seriously if some like Canelo then fair enough but imo it says more about them that they could think that a guy caught doping who drains his opponents,has the judges in his pocket just in case it’s close and just about anything you can think of inc loaded gloves.
    This idiot inc his fans had the cheek to think he won the first fight let alone the second,he’s the most disingenuous boxer there’s ever been and his fans don’t mind lol?

    Kinda agree with you. A lot of people, including reporters, underestimate AJ big time. He's a very good boxer, the way he moves and blocks punches effortlessly. And as we know, he's a real heavy and sharp puncher. Man, if he didn't have that little stamina suspicion and started every fight like a hungry lion that he is, he would knock out everybody inside 5 rounds. But it is what it is with big-muscled guys.
    And among other things, the man is always in great shape and and in focused mindset.
    He just might be the real superman, but the man gotta conquer America before being compared to Ali or Tyson or a lotta other champions too.

    I try to keep the elite status as small as possible. I wouldn't put anyone outside the top 10 P4P as elite, probably not even the whole top 10.
