    How do you rank Golovkin now?
    He fought a prime HOFer in Canelo at age 36 and won. How do you rank Golovkin now as a fighter? Beating a prime HOFer at an old age... Does that grant you any favor on ATG arguments? Maybe we have to downgrade Canelo after this.

    Some people are having a hard time coping with GGGs loss.

    so much wrong with this post

    - Canelos not HoF
    -36 is not old
    -he lost
    -one does not increase rank with a loss
    -one does not downgrade the other guy for winning.

    He didn't win and the guy was moving up in weight is obviously smaller than him. I think GGG ranked higher before the 2 Canelo fights than after. Now no one will think he could compete with Hagler.

    Yes he won again but got robbed, so he should rank higher now. And Canelo is an elite fighter as well.
