    Kovalev as far as name recognition is concerned.

    Plant
    Jacobs
    Smith
    Saunders

    from that list.

    Yildrim & fielding
    We’re both either mandatory or stay busy fight as he fights 3-4 times a year.

    Kovalev

    This list shows just how great Canelo is and above everyone else. Except for Fielding & Yildim, if any other 160lb champ fought any of the names on this list…it would automatically become their greatest victory (if they even could win). Yet for Canelo, just another payday in his already HOF career

    In order from best to worse, keeping in mind how good the fighters were at the time of the bout. What do you think?
    A quick reminder of who he fought,
    Fielding 168lbs
    Jacobs 160lbs
    Kovalev 175lbs
    Smith 168lbs
    Yildrim 168lbs
    Saunders 168lbs
    Plant 168lbs

    You looking at calendar year, not time in between fights. From September 2018 to November 2019 (just a little over a year)…he fought GGG, Fielding, Jacobs and Kovalev. Or from December 2020 to November 2021 (under a year)… he fought Smith, Yildrim, Saunders and Plant.

    Again, if any other fighter fought even one of these names (minus Yildrim or Fielding)… it would be their greatest victory. Hell GGG did fight Jacobs and that is indeed is greatest win (not counting controversy in Canelo fights)

    Jacobs, and its not debatable. However, Canelo won by 7 rounds and there is a legitimate case for Jacobs winning 6. And this was a Jacobs who had rehydration clause, did nothing the first 5 rounds and shortly after robbed Rosado.

    Saunders and Smith are not good wins by any means if you look in depth at the context which I've made a separate thread about.

    Plant fight was a spar imo.. Yeah Plants bang average but it had glaring signs of anoth3r dodgy fix. Less obvious Than Smith and certainly Kovalev.

    Even if you think Kovaleb fight was a real fight, anyone who considers that a legit good win is even mentally disabled or has very little boxing insight

    So I guess Canelos.. Pfftttmpfhfhfh..best wins post losing to 36 yo GGG twice... Are... Lmao.. Fielding and drained Jacobs

    AtG Mexican fighter right there lmao.. Can't believe the guy is in any P4P list.. Boxing fans really are severely low IQ

    :lol: According to many...Canelo's best win was a loss to 3G, and his SECOND best win was a washed up Kovalev...
