    He hits way harder based on what?. Knocking out hopeless bums as a minimum 1/20 favorite in handpicked one-sided affairs proves nothing. The first time he stepped up all his "INSANE POWER GUYS, LOOK AT THE YOUTUBE HIGHLIGHTS" was nowhere to be seen.

    Yeah, those guys are all actors paid to lay down. :lol: If Charlo did 1/4th of what GGG did you would be worshiping the ground he walks on. 3 guys went 12 rounds with GGG. GGG having good power is not even debatable. You just clarify yourself as a hater.

    It is debatable when it's highly questionable and I could care less about Charlo either. Every single fight he has been in he exploded in there as a 1/20 favorite and in MANY cases he was a 1/100 favorite. How can you even use these fights as legitimate examples to examine and extract actual attributes?.

    Well if GGG is a hundred to one favorite over top 10 Ring magazine contenders then maybe he that good.

    Good post Youre right Even if GGG decked Canelo 3 times he'd still lose a split dec in Vegas.
    If Canelo REALLY thought he beat him he'd have accepted that offer to fight in MSG where at least GGG might have a fair crack of the whip. Canelo aint got the balls without his "Minders" protecting him

    :lol:
    The MW division was so bad during GGG’s tenure, Curtis Stevens was one of his ranked opponents. What exactly did Stevens do to earn a MW ranking in the first place... :lol:

    He did what all contenders do, just beat the current level of comp. THAT'S how guys move up the ranks. Did you expect EVERYONE ranked in the top ten to have defeated a bunch of former or current champs or something? :lol:

    Canelo has a certified Iron Chin. He dropped Jacobs. Hits way harder based on the fact he's dropped durable fighters with every punch in the book. He has a higher KO percentage at a higher weight than Cotto. Who else should he have fought at 160? Injured Martinez? For the record I have the first Canelo fight a draw and the second a clear Canelo win. But you are not being reasonable about GGG's physicality.

    Fair bit GG is in a higher weight class was never knocked down or out. Cotto was notably faster and more fluid that GGG.

    The same Ring Magazine that rated him #1 for beating Welterweight Brook?. :lol: These rating are so commercial nowadays, they don't even care about it. They easily get away with these ratings and get support for it because the majority can't see through the joke list. People like you are the proof to that.

    Hey jackass. He was rated #1 BEFORE the Brook fight. Are you simple, stupid or both?!?!

    Are you seriously comparing his fabricated KO ratio with Cotto?. How can you even be serious?. Cotto fought the likes of Pacquiao, loaded gloves Margarito x2, Mayweather(undefeated), Alvarez, Torres(undefeated), Mosley, Trout(undefeated), Clottey, Judah, Quintana(undefeated) and Malignaggi(undefeated). That's 3 ATG quality fighters on his list. Additionally, Cotto has been in 4 weight divisions. Golovkin fought nothing but hopeless opponents and bums. His first step-up was against a smaller opponent and he lost. You seriously can't be mentally sane to compare a proven great fighter like Cotto to Golovkin.

    Oh, that makes sense then. His wins against Wade and Lemieux surely got him there. Insane victories there, I must say. The PPV against Lemieux was a massive blockbuster too, wasn't it?. Grandpa.

    Ask the guys who have been in the ring with him how hard he punches. I have & the majority said he hit like a L/Hw while at 160. PLUS he has never been accused of illegal Ped's use has he ??
    Both Floyd & Canelo have been PROVEN to have cheated along with many others like Mosely etc
