and no doubt due to the fact that he's Mexican you think he's the closest thing to the cure of aids and God on Earth

he was a great fighter, nobody debated that, he deserves to be in the HOF, but he's not the GOAT, and there's no denying that he fought garbage for much of his early career, and well yea no one is gonna be getting the same number of title defenses but there are plenty of others who have done what he was never able to, which is win a title in 4 divisions
