    He has visibly slowed down since the ol' Proksa days. Am I the only one who thinks so?

    Or maybe his competition level has increased? Who did he fight in his prime worth anything? Jacobs is the best fighter on his resume and that's saying A LOT

    Except for the part where GGG destroys them. Other than that, he's not on their level.

    if Canelo had been at middleweight all these years I would think he could take the punch, but I doubt he could take GGG in a brawl. He is going to have to use his speed and his jab.

    GGG wrecks everyone in hypothetical fights.. You wonder .. Instead of sitting in a crap division.. Why he didn't move up and seek a challenge? Hmmmm

    On that basis you think Canelo will be in his prime in 8 years when he turns 35 then. Truth is Canelo will probably be retired in 8 years time.

    Ha ha. My, that's a lot of anger. I wonder why.

    Do you really not know that Cotto and Floyd are not even close to being middleweights, or did you just run out of your medication?

    Maybe GGG will unify and break Hopkins' record first. Would THAT make you angry???

    When Hopkins had his first 6 fights at light heavy and then moved down to middle to fight former 140 pounders, were you also this angry? Ha ha. Quick, where are your blood pressure meds and your antipsychotic pills????

    Who said they were Middleweights? I said they're both all time great fighters. GGG isn't. Simple as that. Canelo has faced all time great comp and GGG has face all time terrible comp. There's a difference.

    You don't argue well. Canelo's comp, as I pointed out, were little guys who outboxed him. GGG's comp is natural MW's he destroyed. It's as if you don't understand the concept of weight classes.

    And Hopkins, the former light heavy, fought at middle for 15 years before he moved (back) to light heavy. GGG is a natural middle who has only been at middle for 11 years and is on the verge of doing what Hopkins did in less time. Were you insisting back then that Hopkins had to move up too?

    Simple question.. Who has the better resume.. GGG or Canelo? Since I don't understand the concept of weight classes

    Simple answer. Who does not drain all his opponents and comes in 20 pounds heavier than them?
