    Because Canelo was well into his prime when they fought. Saying he was "pre prime" at age 27 and was already a 2 division champion that had wins over two HOF'ers is quite frankly being intellectually dishonest.

    "Pre-Prime" :facepalm:

    Except Canelo clearly wasn't in his prime and has gotten significantly better since then

    Canelo has accomplished more in boxing through 32 years of life than GGG has through 40

    I think Canelo has regressed since his venture north of 160.

    Canelo 2-1 over GGG (2-0-1 OFFICIALLY)
    4 div Champ, Undisputed at 168.
    Will go down in the history books as the better and more accomplished of the 2. MARK IT.

    Pre-what? No, he was already a veteran almost and had plenty of fights and wins against top fighters when he fought GGG.

    Obviously. It's not even close. Look at their resumes it's a joke.

    Canelo circa the GGG rematch was probably at his peak. In no way, shape, or form was he pre-prime. Skill-wise, the only thing he's gotten better at since then is slowly marching forward throwing single power punches to the bicep. He's actually gotten noticeably worse at a lot of things since then.
