    Name them. He should have 1 against Judah for breaking the rules. That's it the rest are all debatable

    He beat the WBA World Super MW champion. The same exact version of title GGG gets credit for "matching Hopkins' record".

    Nope, it was no robbery. I'll give you that it was a close fight, but Canelo beat Golovkin. Just because you fanboys and haters cry foul doesn't make it so.

    I want to get into a debate about it, yes I do.

    I'll start:

    GGG-
    Championship fights won- 9
    Titles in weight divisions-1
    Wins against sitting champions- 2

    CANLEO-
    Championship fights won-13
    Titles in weight divisions-2
    Wins against sitting champions-5


    Canelo>GGG

    Saunders was rocked badly in his last bout v a guy that couldn`t have come close to doing the same to Canelo.

    There needs to be a category for rating those that cheat with peds and are strong in the ginger department.

    Which I don't give Golovkin...
    So no he's a two weight world champion. And won one on a bad decision.

    I'm not a GGG fan boy... I just prefer him over Canelo and like a clean sport.
    You on the other hand can't say the same.
    Considering I was on about Manny Pacquiao I'll stop you from winging about Golovkin. And I'll take it from here.

    Championship fights won-21
    Titles in weight divisions-7
    Wins against sitting champions-9

    He has wins over 20+ world champions
    Is a 5 time fighter of the year
    Fighter of the 2000s.

    Want to carry on?

    Saunders at his absolute best is better than Canelo imo.

    As I said, Canelo is a two division world champion, and GGG only has nine successful title fights.

    Champions he beat at MW include Golovkin, and Jacobs. Also, just like you can argue that Canelo lost to GGG, you can also argue GGG lost to Jacobs.

    I prefer fighters who take challenges, who put business second, who want to prove they are the best. I enjoy boxing because of the competition, not because one fighter can impose himself on an overmatched opponent.

    Sure, Canelo popped dirty, but you know what, he's done more to prove he is clean than most if not any fighter in history. And guess what, after taking a Hair follicle test, and while being tested 365/7/24 ge beat GGG, moved up and dominated a SMW contender, and beat Jacobs.

    Here is your quote. I'm comparing GGG and Canelo. I showed very well Canelo is much more accomplished than GGG in the same time frame they have been fighting at world level.

    Pacquiao is at another level as far as accomplishments. I'm not comparing Pac to any current fighter. With that said, I find it ironic that you talk down about Canelo putting a rehydration clause on Fielding but talk up Pacquiao who is the King of dehydrating fighters.

    You're exposed as a biased hater.

    I win.
