    The only thing that devalues his accomplishments is him getting caught cheating and not owning up to it, which creates suspicion. Him getting wins he don't deserve, which can be predicted before the bout. Fights that are ridiculously lopsided for Canelo on the score cards like vs Cotto, but the fight was close. Things like that, other than that he's a great fighter that won titles in 4 divisions and lost two competitive fights to GGG and got the Cash cow corruption favoritism.

    GGG didn’t get the real WBA title until the Geale fight in 2014 and he lost his title in 2017/18 to Canelo.
    Trout and Lara is better than anybody not named Canelo on GGG’s entire resume, lastly GGG got a draw then got dominated in the rematch and hasn’t fought anybody good before or after.
    Beating up bums don’t make you great if that was the case Andrade must be an all timer having all those WBO title defenses vs nobodies.
    GGG is overhyped and overrated his entire career is based off him trying to fight at the time a JMW and losing when he actually got the shot, beating up Wade and Lemuix and Szermeta, and the loooonnnnggg line of bums is NOT impressive there is not one win on GGGs resume that is or would be considered impressive for any other fighter

    They are devalued by the fact that many of them aren't real.
