    What? Napoles??? His rep ain't based on beating Griffith at all lol. GGG isn't comparable to Napoles.

    Can add Lennox Lewis, Shane Mosley, Michael Conlan, and Manny Pacquiao to the list who think GGG won, if I remember right.

    We can debate rounds if you wish.. look bro GGG has the biggest base of stans known to man its actually journalist and fans who will argue that Canelo fighting the #3 LHW Champ is a worse fight than GGG fighting and unknown 14 fight pro Dervancahncko and fans who will do the same...its a list of actual fighters just as deep who saw it the other way..also from the scores you listed the vast majority scored either a draw or 7-5 GGG, if that is the case the how exactly is a draw a robbery?

    Considering one of the scorecards was 118-110 to Canelo, I'd say we can start from there. If that scorecard was remotely closer to Canelo, maybe there would a lot less outrage but still disagreements. But still, the fact of the matter is that vast majority including fighters had GGG winning.

    You probably saw the thread and I posted it a few days ago but:

    lol at you salty GGG fan boys

    He lost the rematch with Canelo fair and square

    He also arguably lost to Derveinchenko and Jacobs

    His resume is pretty much trash, bar a few guys

    The fact that Kell Brook is one of his best wins says it all for me

    If Brook was a natural MW, he would probably have beat the breaks off GGG in that fight

    To mix it up, here are utterly dominant wins over very good opponents not necessarily all champions. This can also show how good a fighter is. And it gives a better idea of Golovkin in his prime because fights from Jacobs on people were beginning to mention him losing an edge.

    1. Canelo I, dominant win
    2. Lemieux, destructive win over a guy considered highly dangerous at the time. Seems Team Canelo avoided him and even at the time of the Saunders fight many were picking Saunders, an elite boxer, to get KO'd.
    3. Macklin, devastating win over a very good fighter who had very close fights with champs.
    4. Murray, destructive win over a guy never stopped, who like Macklin had had very close fights, possible robberies, with champs.
    5. Geale, demolition on a former champ. People cite the Cotto fight without understanding Geale was drained to 157.

    Honorary destruction: Brook


    Now people will pretend that 2-5 were never much good, or show post Golovkin records. At the time they were not post prime and no other top fighters destroyed them like Golovkin in this period.
