Ah his resume is better I don't count loses when comparing resumes if that's the case Zab Judah would be an atg. Had canelo beaten pbf then his resume would be better but he didnt. Ward has 4 great wins on his resume Kovalev 2x and frock and Kessler he also has solid wins against Barrera abraham and Dawson who I actually picked to beat ward.
You are correct, it was 100% a reaction to Canelo coming forward. However like all top fighters, GGG changed his style, adjusted out of necessity. I do believe if Canelo just did a little bit more in the later rounds he would have wrapped up the fight in style. However he didn't due to the determined assault he was facing. Saying all of Mexico thought Alvarez won would be as unsurprising as all Kazakhstan thinking Golovkin won.
