I agree that whilst GGG has a deep resume with lots of dominant wins over good fighters, he is short on elite wins.

I agree Hagler's win resume is better than GGG's.

Fan polls for GGG vs Canelo 2, Jacobs and Derevychenko all narrowly favoured GGG, if I recall correctly. They could all credibly be scored either way. GGG vs Canelo 1 was c.90%+ for GGG. GGG was clearly the superior fighter on the night.

GGG's legacy will always have an element of unfulfilled potential for me. He was 1-month shy of his 35th birthday by the time of the Jacob's fight, 35 and 36 vs Canelo, and clearly past his absolute best. Getting the better of Canelo aged 35 hints at him being a great fighter in his prime, but he sadly didn't face good enough opposition in his prime to prove it.

I agree with that.

I think we also need to consider that Golovkin was out of his prime for the Canelo fights, the dude was 36-37 years old when it happened. I can't see Canelo beating a 2015 Golovkin.

Nah Mendoza , prime isn't a number. Prime is mileage / wear and tear.
GGG was still prime when he fought Canelo first time because he was fresh and 35 isn't old for a boxer anymore.
