I'm sorry, you're right. He fought the best from 54 to 68. Guys like Alfonso Gomez(contenders), Perro Angulo, Kirkland w/o Ann Wolfe, Amir too small Khan(fortune cookie chin), Liam Smith, Chavez Jr, Rocky Fielding(who?!?), a washed up Kovalev full of potato vodka, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim(his sparring partner). All tailor made, like a fitted suit. No intrigue, because none posed a tangible threat. No true fan ever doubted who'd win. These weren't worthy challengers, they were foregone conclusions. Cherry picks, padding, cannon fodder, whatever u wanna call them, they all had slim to zero chance of beating Canelo. If you wanna discuss other names, KERMIT CINTRON was the man from 2000-2005 until he ran into Margarito. He was never the same after that, then Margarito hurt him bad again, then he leaped out the ring against Paul Williams when it got hot in there. He was formidable at one point in time, but well done by the time he met Canelo. The MOSLEY from the 1st nine years of his career, would knock out most guys today at/or near his weight. But then, he had 2 tough losses to vernon forrest (R.I.P), 2 losses to much bigger winky wright, cotto, floyd, and hurt badly by pacquiao. By the time canelo got him, most of what he had b4 was long gone. COTTO was Never the same after Margarito, and then Pacquiao destroyed him. To a lesser extent, Floyd beat on him too, so he had a lot of hard miles on his body when Canelo met him. Before the GGG fight, DANIEL JACOBS vaporized ppl, but afterwards, he wasn't as crisp or well conditioned, slapping more, not turning shots over, etc. Canelo didn't get him at anywhere near his best. BJ SAUNDERS AND PLANT were a little fresher, but both are known for movement, not punching or hurting ppl. Canelo lost to MAYWEATHER, & GGG in the 1st fight. In the 2nd fight I still had GGG winning, controlling the ring with his jab and boxing beautifully & taming Canelo's aggression, busted his eye open and had him hurt in the last round. Many ppl think LARA beat him but was robbed. From 2005 to 2011, Canelo fought absolutely nobody. So respectfully I ask, how many top fighters in their prime did Canelo beat?
