    This is true, I can recall you were always big on Smith, I caught up later :). He has improved a lot of late aswell.

    You need to be objective here.

    GG didn’t get the opportunity to unify all of the belts in the same way that Canelo did.

    Cotto would fight Canelo, but he wouldn’t fight GG.

    Oscar wouldn’t let Canelo fight GG when he was his mandatory.

    Most people had GG winning the first fight against Canelo.

    Canelo is an outstanding fighter. But he shouldn’t be given credit for cleaning out the MW division in a way that GG didn’t. Because under different circumstances, GG could have done it earlier and more emphatically.

    We know you hate GG, but stop being ridiculous.

    Canelo and Oscar enjoyed beating Cotto to be labelled as the MW champ. But then when it was time to face GG, they fought Liam Smith and Amir Khan instead.

    If GG had’ve handed his belt over and waited for someone to decline, you’d have jumped on him. So don’t give Oscar and Canelo a pass for their actions.

    Ward was at SMW.

    GG didn’t have a SMW belt in the SMW division, like how Canelo had a MW belt in the MW division.

    Yeah, after Oscar had waited him out for as long as it was possible.
