    Does this mean Miguel Cotto will be remembered for winning more vacant titles than beating actual champions?

    Canelo himself knows he didn't legitimately ever really beat GGG

    Several of Canelo's so called "wins" were to put it politely " Very Suspect " not politely they were robberies

    People act like they wanted Golovkin to fight the same two guys five different times like a guy they call an a time great middleweight champion. But when you ask them what two guys it should have been, they never answer. Just like they never answer what two welterweights moving up to 160 should he have fought.

    We aren’t talking about Cotto, but he will be remembered for taking on all comers and even being lineal at 160, in contrast to GGG.

    I am talking about Cotto though. Did he or did he not win more vacant titles?

    Lineal 160 alone is more lineal titles than GGG.

    Guess who chose not to fight Golovkin when they were lineal champion(s)?
    And even then, did Cotto win more titles by beating the champion or by winning a vacancy?

    What was GGG’s 4th weightclass and did he achieve lineage there?

    He failed three times in bids for lineage.

    :lol: OK...another punk noob who equates moving up with "going for challenges"....

    Per NoBrain logic...Cotto must be greater than Hagler!!

    Hagler was lineal unlike GGG.

    You’ve never even put a pair of gloves on and certainly have no clue re: boxing.

    Now that I've looked more closely, I'm convinced me that Cotto ranks higher on ATG lists than GGG. Thanks for sparking my interest.
