    Since he actually deserved his win and scored a KD. GGG.

    Golovkin due to the single knockdown + inflicting greater visible damage!

    Canelo due to flashier defensive moves and punches.

    Your pick! I choose Golovkin because damaging punches > everything else in boxing.

    Is that really a question? GGG beat a more game Jacobs more convincingly.

    Canelo. A lot of people thought Jacobs beat GGG, nobody thinks he beat Canelo.

    What visible damage? GGG barely landed anything clean on Jacobs besides jabs, and the KD was more of a balance issue than anything else. Jacobs landed the cleaner more effective power punches.

    I thought canelo did despite the knockdown by ggg. Ggg ate alot if hard shots by jacobs canelo not so much. With that said neither guy dominated jacobs. Makes me wonder how great pirog could have really been. Smh

    He might but it seems like he doesnt like to fight too much these days. Wasting his talent and career imo.

    About the same! Canelo & GGG both won close but clear decisions. The best case for Jacobs in either fight is a generous draw. A few close rds in both fights to make it closer on the cards than as a whole. I think Canelo won more rds but GGG scores a KD. I think they are comparable performances against a game challenger in Jacobs. Canelo and GGG both showed they are the 2 best MW’s in beating perhaps the 3rd best MW in similar fashion.

    Hoping for the 3rd fight even though the discussions on here will be dreadful

    Visible eye damage.

    And the knockdown still counts as a legit official knockdown. Jacobs was also visibly hurt, judging by him holding onto the ropes whilst appearing groggy after getting back up to his feet.

    Both GGG and Canelo beat Danny Jacobs and GGG knocked him down.

    Thinking back to GGG vs Jacobs, I thought it was a clear win for Gennady in a relatively close fight with a 115-112 scorecard. Jacobs didn't quite do enough to get the verdict against either man in my opinion. I think Canelo won with a little to spare as well.

    GGG is my pick here.

    Golovkin fought a younger version of Jacobs first and scored a knockdown. More people scored the Golovkin fight to Jacobs than did the Canelo fight... Seems like a good even toss up. More fuel for the flames on this forum.

    Jacobs did best out of the three of them.
    He beat cancer which was a far more important and significant battle. Boxing is nothing compared to what Jacobs managed to achieve, from being told he might not walk again, to getting a world title again and giving both GGG and Canelo close fights

    Rofl gg didnt even deserve his win. He should have rematched him, but he didnt want to risk his precious 0. He lost it anyway, karma is a *****.
