    Gotta give credit to these guys for stepping up and fighting each other. Just wish one of them had separated himself from the crop.

    They are all pretty much on the same level in terms of ability that much is crystal clear.

    GGG did as far as I'm concerned. He handily beat both Jacobs and Canelo regardless of scorecards.

    The man who could have risen above is now fighting for the WBO 168 pound belt in two weeks time. It's a pity.

    So I guess you'd be thoroughly underwhelmed by Ali-Frazier-Foreman-Norton back in the day too?:lol:

    Ali is the king of that bunch. You don't have to win every fight to seperate yourself.

    I actually enjoyed both GGG-Canelo fights and GGG-Jacobs. I've yet to see Canelo vs Jacobs

    All 4 fights were solid and entertaining. But after four fights between 3 big punchers at this level you would hope one fight would have had a jaw dropping moment or a decisive victory. No fighter has yet to win by more than 1 or 2 rounds in any fight.

    I disagree. I think Jacobs is very clearly the worst of the three.

    Canelo n Golovkin are much closer... though its hard not to believe that its due to Golovkins age.

    But.... yes I do know what you mean. You wish there was more convincing victories between them.

    I have a feeling that when I rewatch the fight, that I may have Canelo winning clearly.
