    GGG 2.

    I scored that fight a draw so a split decision win for Canelo isn't very egregious to me.

    His best win is by far GGG but that obviously wasn't a legit win and GGG wasn't prime and it has a huge asterisk hanging over it

    His best win over a prime opponent without any asterisks is probably Jacobs, BJS or Callum Smith but even then there was a rehydration clause for Jacobs, BJS 2.0 won his world title at 168 off a binman, defended it against trash and looked garbage at that weight, and Smith got a short camp and got his ass paddled in his previous fight by Juan Ryder.

    I’d say the last 2 of Canelo’s victories can be considered *asterisk free by most boxing fans.

    Nah...

    Something about that fight seems dodgy.

    Very dodgy.


    His best legit win was either Plant or Jacobs.

    Golovkin won rounds 9-12 imo. You only have to give him two out of the first 8 to arrive at a draw.

    I don't think I posted my score in the rbr as I usually write on a piece of paper and just read along with the rbr so I don't have my scorecard. I just remember scoring it a draw.

    I mean kovalev looked like skeleton in that fight and was still sweeping every round with just a feeble jab

    Probably his demolition of James Kirkland. Gotta give him his props on that one

    Exactly. He was schooling Canelo, definitely the best man Canelo has beaten.

    Definitely wasn't schooling. Many had them even before the stoppage.
    0 powershots, completely bizarre.

    But he was an old cripple by the time Canelo got him. He gets more asterisks than anyone!!

    Ward took kis heart and soul and there was nothing left of him
