    Canelo was smaller than GGG when they fought , right?
    I know there can be smoke & mirrors with fight night weights but any examples can help.

    Rubio Canelo and Brook were coming from lower weights, my guess is probably Jacobs.

    Golovkin is dead average height for middleweight with below average reach of 70 inches (though deceptively long jab).

    if canelo had fought as a LHW or CW against 3G then 3G would have easily knocked him out.

    But Canelo always used weight clause to avoid fighting 3G as a LHW/CW/HW, that dirty bastiche.

    ...only ones I can think of, GGG is a natural middleweight, sort of like Hagler. Probably could go at 168 , but 175?

    Rubio was heavier by 8 pounds.
    Wade was taller with 5 inches in reach.
    Monroe had 4 inches in reach.
    Ishida was almost 4 inches taller.

    Not many. None of quality except for Jacob who is still very overrated.

    Who cares? They were all middle weights. Up to them how big they are on weigh in and on fight night

    Canelo was smaller in size but he had to do about the same (172 pounds)
    Otherwise Monroe Jr was 172 pounds (170 for GGG)
    Rubio weighed 181 pounds (GGG was 173)
    I think we never got their fighting weight but Murray and Jacobs were clearly much heavier than GGG.

    GGG is not a huge middleweight, it cut about 10-13 pounds each time.

    Ishida moved up to HW after fighting GGG, so I'd say he was bigger than him.

    Drag AJ and Usyk in the ring with GGG and he'll spark them both!
