    There you go again. Canelo did not deserve the draw, that is universally understood. Politics destroyed the trilogy to be honest. Dude gets credit for a draw when he lost, then gets credit for a win, when at best he should have got a draw. At best.

    A draw was not the common score.

    You can say that the Twin Towers are still standing, that's your prerogative. You won't get anybody to believe you. You will just look ridiculous. You would look ridiculous if you said Canelo beat Bivol as well. You won't look ridiculous however if you said GGG beat Canelo twice, you would be in good company!

    Yes. I now decided that he was robbed and deserved to win. Apparently we can just do that whenever we feel like it. By the way I also decided that Ian Gardner was robbed against GGG in 2008, so that wins goes away from him too unfortunately.

    You should do research on black Murderers Row. Those frauds get rated higher and extra credit because “apparently” they were ducked.

    No, he gets credit for fights he won, in the eyes of the the boxing public. Which means Canelo has one legitimate win over GGG and that was when GGG was 40 years old. That is actually quite an accomplishment just ask Ryota Murata. Canelo out landed GGG for the first time in 3 outings. He out landed Golovkin by a whopping 10 punches. Golovkin outland Canelo in the first 2 fights by significant numbers and outlanded Jacobs by 56 punches in their bout. Golovkin even outlanded Derevyanchenko by 13 punches. Golovkins punches were harder and cleaner then Derevyanchenko's.

    It was in 2017 we are almost in 2026 it's time to let it go.

    One of my favourite fighters JMM lost close controversial decisions to Pacquiao.

    You don't see me keep whining about it or trying to create mental gymnastics to give JMM unofficial wins.

    You quoted a post from NoNeck in 2024 today to start another argument about Canelo/Golovkin fights.

    As I said time to get over it.

    They don't just get credit for that alot of those fighters have stand out resumes like Charley Burley, Holman Williams.

    Golovkin doesn't have a stand out resume so his fans want to give him unofficial wins because of that.

    It's crazy to me it's like Golovkin is the only fighter to ever lose close controversial decision.

    Key word here being "close".

    So do you agree with the judges scoring of the trilogy fight? Or do you go along with the media?

    It's only full of swing rounds if you refuse to give them to GGG. Actually they turned the fight into a swing fight for the same reason, they can't give it to GGG, that's not the narrative. A draw or a win is the only result allowed for Canelo. So, it came out a draw.
