    That assertion is unprovable especially in the elite circles of Middleweight one of the deepest boxing divisions and that's coming from a huge Golovkin fan. There have been some crazy talents and records in the division. Jones, Hopkins, Toney, Hagler, Monzon are just the latest in a long line of badasses that go all the way to Robinson, LaMotta, Steele, Greb and so forth.

    I do think you could argue for him against anybody and I think he'd give anybody a hard fight at MW.

    I think we should simulate it on fight night.

    GGG v Hopkins
    RJJ v Monzon
    Hagler v S.Martinez
    Canelo v Pavlik

    Well I know when he fights a good fighter, ahem Canelo, he looks ordinary Regardless of whether you think he lost because of the judges, both were close fights. To say that he beats everyone in history at this division is a stretch. But of course now you will say Canelo beats everyone in history too to elevate GGG.

    GGG just beat his mandatory, nothing has changed. Canelo is still better IMHO. That's just in this era.

    Prime GGG surely loses vs these 2 Middleweights...

    * Ezzard Charles, 15 rounds of humiliation
    * Edgar Berlanga, Fast-life destruction

    P4P King Canelo lost to an old GG twice, what does that make GGG?

    Lol all great MWs at least had the competition to back up this claim.. Unfortunately GGG don’t, so like Bud Crawford we don’t know. And it’s easy to point out the first Canelo fight and say he won(I think he did) but that mean we should take a deeper look at how great Canelo is.. Literally every B+/A level opponent Canelo has faced has ended in controversy.. Lara might have won, Trout fight was very close, Cotto was close and the GGG fights were extremely close..

    We can say one thing, GGG would be very competetive with any MW in history
