Nacho could be the guy also, but I don't think Canelo will switch trainers. In summary: the loss doesn't hurt his chances to be an ATG, his deficiencies that have been showcased in his less than stellar performances and his refusal to address those deficiencies will prevent him.
This is basically what I think. The loss doesn't matter in the ATG debate. If canelo went on to be super dominant from now on, he could be great but he won't be because he just isn't that great of a fighter. I think that he will end up having a good career but definitely not a career which will consider him to be an ATG.
