    Canelo more technically adaptable per se, but Triple G runs through 99% of the division's history on pure toughness alone

    The guy hasn't been down or seriously hurt in nearly 400 fights

    Neither are atg fighters. if either guy came up in the early 90s they probably never would have been champs. Toney, RJJ, Nunn, McCallum, etc. would have beaten both quite easily

    but HOW DO U KNOW THIS, IF 3G has never fought even one of them of that level?

    HOW CAN WE JUDGE??!

    For all we now 3G will smash them all.

    If you were sensible what you would say is "hey letswait till 3G smashes some elites and ATGs as he is about to, then we can judge"

    This. I like both GGG and Canelo, but Leonard in his prime would’ve toyed with either of them.

    Hard to say. Depends whether these fantasy match-ups happen before or after the Mexican meat industry changed its farming practices...

    This is crazy, people are prejudging 3G just because they'v not seen him fight at the level of robbo, mon, hag, hearns leonard, mcC, Toney, hopkins etc.

    But I ask you, just because he hasnt, how do you know that he cant? Absence of evidence is not the same thing as evidence of absence.

    The only people who think Jacobs beat Golovkin is Jacobs and his family,his New York fans and Golovkin haters.

    That's not true. Its Golovkin nut swingers who deny that the fight could go either way.

    It was a clear GGG win, a close competitive fight but one GGG clearly edged. Just because it was the first time somebody gave GGG a fight doesn’t mean he instantly lost.
