    Canelo has gone up 4 divisions GGG has moved up 0 and his resume is far better then GGG's..sure Canelo started younger but GGG started pro at 24 and even since then Canelo has gone up 1 division seeking out the best and challenging himself... Why after 10 years is GGG's resume so poor? why is he not challenging himself? dont use the oh he is getting ducked excuse..he refused to challenge himself by moving up and fighting Ward or even someone like Abraham,,he is content with trying to collect vacant titles and challenging smaller fighters

    Larry, GGG fought at the same weights Canelo fought at, but he did it in the amateurs. He won a world championship in 2000 at light welterweight. He won the Asian Games as a light middleweight in 2002. In 2003 at the world championships GGG beat Korobov, Andy Lee, and Lucian Bute to capture gold. At the 2004 Olympics he beat Andre Dirrell and got silver at middleweight. Besides that, he also has Macklin, Murray, Geale, and Lemieux on his record. The only reason he hasn't beaten Quillin yet is because Quillin dropped a belt to avoid him. Saunders says he won't fight him and Canelo wants to wait until he's old and injured to fight GGG.
