    LOL, you're right. That's what I get for answering from a hospital bed.

    GGG wouldn’t have been able to fight like that if he was 220 lbs.

    OT: P4P is mostly cope for smaller fighters but GGG I guess, weak opposition but he did pretty much everything he could have done. Canelo losses are pretty good too considering his age, performance and how good Canelo himself is.

    Jacobs was just a B level guy.

    Resume comparison could be handy like top 10 wins each or so.

    I didn't say what I thought would happen if you made GGG a heavyweight though.

    Realistically for me, a conversation like this would have to account for legacy and influence. I still think that George Foreman's power wouldn't calculate down as well and I don't know if GGG's style would translate up, either. In a vacuum, George Foreman is the man you'd rather have on your side in a real fight, and he's the man I'd rather have my money riding on in some hypothetical bet for my life.

    It seems people in here are discussing resume at length, and in that discussion, there is no discussion, it's Big George.

    Canelo was better than Ali and Evander?

    Ha!


    It's a pity that you didn't apply the size philosophy in the thread regarding Holmes and Wlad.

    I think he was just talking in terms of wins but maybe I am wrong.

    Full of holes?

    Your post is full of holes.


    So what if the MW division was traditionally a more tougher division than HW?

    It wasn't when GGG fought there.


    The most defences in MW history?

    1. That is disputed.

    2. Who against?? Mostly B and C level fighters.


    It's ridiculous how you think it was this amazing feat.

    Many other MW's could have replicated that timeline and results, had they have had the opportunity.


    By your own admission, George was a small HW in the 90's.


    Yes, GGG was never outclassed. But then he never fought the same level of opposition.

    He didn't fight as many fights, or for as long.


    Who knows what GGG's record would have been like, had he fought prime guys like Evander at a very advanced age.

    This is what he wrote:

    "Yeah Canelo is the best fighter either has fought P4P....."

    Maybe that's is what he meant. But then after we shifted to talking about wins which is what most people see as resume but he can clarify.

    Yeah obviously I don't see why we should count losses in evaluating who's better
