    Due to age difference they could never fight each other at their best as it would either have been Canelo too young or how it turned out GGG getting old while Canelo heading into his prime. Many believe despite his age GGG still won so who is actually the better fighter with the better skill set / attributes taking everything into consideration?

    Who cares what many people believe> People are sheep. You're kinda new here (unless you're an alt, which is highly probable) and already you have risen to the top of the sites biggest cry babies.

    One can say Canelo wasn't fully acclimated to MW for the first two fights, and that just now after his third fight and only second opponent there he is finally acclimated.

    One can say many things either way, but REALITY is Canelo won the rematch.

    Past prime GGG beat Canelo twice, with two different game plans.

    Expect my post to be quoted by isal talking about official decision while ignoring the vast majority of viewers.

    Neither is better than the other! Both proved they are pretty much on the same level! I couldn't separate either guy from one another out of both their bouts.

    What if Golovkin was born in Mexico and turns pro at the age of 14, and Canelo was born in Mid Asia and comes to America at the age of 30?

    Who gives a **** about your list. 70% of people and 90% of media had GGG winning both fights.
    That means the list of names that had GGG wining is a lot longer .

    And 70% of people and 90% of media know how to score DEFENSE, CLEAN PUNCHING, EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION, RING GENERALSHIP?

    Because it isn't about who landed a few more jabs per round buddy. Boxing is much more complex than two men clobbering each other.

    I would trust certified boxing legend's opinion with no stake in each fighters, and professional fighter's opinions over 70% of fans and 90% of the media's opinion any day.

    But you go on and keep crying about GGG supposedly getting robbed, it will never change the ut come and it will never change Roberto Duran's, George Foreman's or Mike Tyson's opinion.
