    "Golovkin at best fought on slightly better than even terms with both men over three fights. Hardly distinguished himself as being a full level above either one."

    all of it. you mean that ggg was not levels above them but all were close in levels ????

    You're pretty much saying that the Jacobs-Golovkin fight was 6 rounds a piece but there is not way to argue the the fight Jacobs? lol

    I have him 2-1... but yes, a slightly younger Golovkin was a bit above both of them in level... barely.

    Todays Golovkin likely loses to both... so while legacy wise its significant, its not very relevant (imo).

    Winner of this fight is the number 1 middleweight to me.

    I am a lowkey fan of Floyd... it bugs me how close the Maidana fight was. Have never scored it round by round but just going on fight night perception I genuinely couldn't argue too hard about it being a draw or Maidana slightly ahead.

    I need to rewatch and score that.

    I'm saying, worst case for GGG was 6 rounds each, including the KD that's 114-113 for GGG. That is the WORST possible score from GGGs point of view. So there is no wiggle room to somehow give that fight to Jacobs. I had it 8-4 GGG with 9-3 being the best case scenario. That means this fight had a close but very clear winner, the stats and circumstances confirm this. This is where this fight differs from the Canelo fights. Did Canelo have a knockdown over GGG? Did he outland him in most of the rounds?
    All I'm saying is, the circumstances in the Jacobs fight were very very different, so to compare them is to compare apples and oranges.

    No, you will be watching 2 fighters that GGG beat and your mind will be drifting off and thinking how good GGG is even at this advanced age and thank your lucky stars that they didn't meet him in his early 30's.
