    Opinion, based on evidence. What evidence do you have to suggest otherwise?

    Where do you think both Jacobs and Alvarez will sit in the All-Time Greatest Middleweights rankings?

    no way, elites are above world class contenders, thats why they are elites.

    or are you ok to the "opinion" that murray is better than canelo and 3g?

    show integrity, man.

    not entirely true, canelo has proved himself elite at LMW and a draw with 3g adds t that.

    McCallum would have spanked Canelo at LMW and has more at 160 than Canelo, thus far.

    at lmw, i am not sure about that but he would be more likely to have picked up the win, exteremely tough road to it though.


    i agree at 160 though on reflection.

    I agree about it being a tough road for McCallum to get the decision knowing Canelo's ridiculous favouritism from the judges but in reality McCallum would shut him out.

    Canelo's Light Middleweight run isn't particularly bad, but it's not on a par with McCallum's, in my view. He was run close by Trout and Lara; the latter of whom was seen as having done enough to win.

    McCallum is generally regarded as a Top-5 ATG Light Middleweight. And, I wonder how Alvarez would have fared against Kalule, Minchillo, Braxton, Jackson, McCrory, Curry...

    So far I have been the one posting the evidence.

    Then you won't mind adding to it by posting your evidence, which could support an idea that Jacobs and Canelo are equivalent or better middleweights than Nunn and McCallum, will you?

    Look around. I think you'll find that Nunn and McCallum are generally considered to be in the Top-50 ATG Middleweights. I don't see either Jacobs or Canelo in that list, at present, and that's because neither have excelled in the division.

    You might want to argue otherwise, but you've posted no evidence to that effect, at all.

    So my statement that "Nunn and McCallum are levels above Jacobs and Alvarez, both of whom Golovkin struggled with and arguably lost to" still stands...

    Or, how about I demonstrate Canelo is equal or better than Toney?

    :lol: Nice dodge. When no evidence is readily available to answer the question at hand, answer a different question and defer to Golden Boy Promotions stock video footage...

    If David Tiberi can beat Toney than Golovkin might have a good shot

    u would be a fool to not go with the guy who beat the elites. or possibly racist. same difference.

    but even with toney favourite at his best - it would be tight.

    And i think GGG would win the return, due to Toneys inconsistency.
