    Well, Golovkin did beat a prime, roided Canelo in the first fight. I had Canelo winning the 2nd when watching live but then on rewatching it I thought GGG won. Need to watch a third time.

    It's hard to say when Pacquiao's peak was considering he had two primes, likely because of PEDs.

    And exhibition fight with JCCjr. Lol.. come on man. His first real test at MW was Golovkin.

    His first real fight at MW was against the reigning champ. Badass.

    Well said. Canelo is still carving his legacy. When he finishes he will likely be an ATG while GGG will be a HoFer at best, and only because Canelo gave him two fights, otherwise GGG would be lower than Kostya Tszyu.

    I give it to round 10, he survives the early pressure, GGG goes quiet for 2 rounds, then the second wind onslaught Ginge don't survive. Hes a tough ****er Canelo and can be elusive, but GGG had wicked foot work cutting off the ring prime and them heavy hands are doing damage. The jab from the Lemieux fight is absolutely heart breaking to take, it was perfect wasn't it, fast and heavy

    Probably when he was fighting the endless list of bums, anyone can look like srr fighting them, then ggg finally stepped up the competition against Jacobs and Canelo looked bad and all of the sudden hes old Lmfao

    You must be new here. Don't you know a prime G could have knocked out a prime Mike Tyson. And we're not talking a blown up G, this is G weighing 160. The fight would essentially be Mike barely getting out a sentence like "I'M GONNA EAT YOUR CHIL" POOOOW ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz .
    Tyson wakes up 3 days later, Cus at his bedside. Tyson asking what time should he start his pre-fight routine. Cus just looks away and starts crying uncontrollably.

    I think Canelo is peak right now...so the question should be could 2012 GGG beat 2020 Canelo.
    Not in Vegas, he couldn't. Probably in Kazakhstan. I don't see GGG ko-ing Canelo, so Canelo
    with the heavily disputed split decision.

    He FAILED a drug test and blamed it on meat.
    It was a known PED not weed.
    That has nothing to do with styles.

    People act like Canelo whipped GGG. He got two gifts.
    Let's be real about it.

    Integrity test: Do you think JCC deserves the draw against Whittaker? If so, I think we all understand why you thought Canelo won.

    Its Holyfield vs Lewis 1 all over again.
