    Tbf he spanked the likes of Macklin, Murray, Lemieux, Rosado before then. While Jacobs is better than all of them, the drop off from GGG was noticeable and except for the first Canelo fight, his age has shown every time he's fought. Even against lesser fighters like the Polish had. Should retire IMO.
    Having said that, if Canelo and GGG fought when the mandatory was first called, could argue that Canelo was not yet in his prime.

    Floyd punches you and largely stands in the pocket. Lara literally ran and evaded offense without generating his own offense

    ppl kill me with that, Floyd landed almost 250 punches against Canelo and is Floyd’s career high for connects and Canelo’s career high for punches landed on him.. Lara landed 106 to 97 for Canelo and most of those were touch/range finder jabs, those fights are nowhere near comparable

    Lara just didn't deserve the nod, truthfully
