    I am a massive fanboy of ggg and a small hater of canelo.
    But why did canelo challange himself after his ggg robberies, even if its most of the time cherry picking, and ggg didn't fight Andrade and Charlo?
    I just can't understand it. He had more than enough time to fight both even with a rematch clause. Imo he would have still smoked both by brutal beat down and would be the undisputed middleweight champ. But he just waited around and fought almost no one in the time after the canelo fight.
    That is my legitimate criticism of ggg and his teams.

    As much as I don't like the cheater canelo, he still went up and beat a lot of credible, but not great/elite fighters. But he did that at least.

    I am really disappointed with ggg

    After the near Jacobs disaster, they decided they would avoid undefeated top slick fighters not named Canelo.

    After the near Derevyanchenko disaster they decided to fight no hopers again in fear of not getting the A side decision again.

    He beat them both clearly imo. 8-4 against Jacobs and 7-5 against derevy.

    You guys really love flashy movements and flashy punches.
    Boxing is easy to score. The guys who lands more punches wins. It doesn't has to look cool. It has to be effective. That's why ggg beat canelo twice, because he outlandet him in both fights. In the second even clearer than in the first.
    Ggg vs canelo 1: 8-4 ggg
    Ggg vs canelo 2: 8-4 ggg

    Age. He has over 300 fights as Amateur, been fighting on the streets since a small child. He Is a legitimate 'Hard Man' I'm surprised hes actually been fighting for this long.

    Why ruin his legacy further with further corruption of bad decisions In boxing. He has nothing to prove to anyone.

    Hes an ATG Middleweight.

    No, that's not how you score pro boxing.

    I would recommend you look up the actual scoring system pro boxing uses. It has very little to do if any with who lands more punches.

    Look up "10 point must scoring system", read as much as you can. Then you'll know pro boxing a little more and may appreciate it more

    Well, you might think it's easy to score...but it appears you have been doing it wrong. That's how you score amateur boxing.

    Agree. The second one was 9-3 to GGG. He owned Canelo that night.

    I’m hoping we see him fight Andrade after Murata, I see no reason why it can’t happen. As for Charlo, I’m not sure that this was ever a serious option, they’ve not shown any willingness to put him in with the other top middleweights.

    Just no, it's only your way to excuse slick boxers to win by robberies, because they get pressured and outboxed by the classical mostly eastern European boxers. And those sh... flashy punches and movements are a sad excuse for scoring pro boxing. It all started with slick American fighters right, haha.
    Why then loma didn't get the win against Teo? When loma outskilled and beat him in a close fight with effective and slick boxing? No, the real narrative here is, eastern European fighters are hated and they all try to rob them and find excuses for slick boxing and pressure fighters if there are Americans

    Golovkin was 37 for his next fight after Canelo. They were/are in two completely different phases and chapters of their career. G was and is winding down and on his way out. Canelo is primed and forging his legacy.
