    Yeah, I think he is. Shame, I liked him as a fighter, but hard to be a fan from Chavez onwards.

    Guy was never that good to begin with solid fighter nothing great or special about him other than his cancer survivor story. Gggs best win is done that was a demoralizing loss in a fight I thought he won.

    He's been finished as a top fighter ever since he lost to Canelo.

    "Losing" to him no less, seeing as that was an a hometown decision.

    GGG'S best win was against the current PFP #1 fighter. Let's be honest now.

    Stating a falsehood then saying lets be honest now. You're not being honest, GGG lost to Canelo. Claiming imaginary wins isn't real.

    As you know, GGG vs Canelo one is a universally recognised robbery, so the real falsehood is claiming GGG'S best win is Danny Jacobs.

    If you think that match was a robbery, YDKSAB. GGG was very lucky to get a draw. He did not deserve to win that match. Canelo performed far better, landed the better punches, showed better defense and fundamentals. He made GGG look amateurish and silly at times. It was arguably one of Canelo's greatest performances. I mean the rematch was just a full blown ass kicking, but the first match Canelo introduced GGG to the sweet science and showed how superior his boxing IQ and skills were.

    Clenelo never really beat Golovkin. He got an MD in a fight where the majority of media cards voted for Golovkin.
    Canelo lost rounds 9-12. Golovkin won at least 2 more in the first 8 rounds.

    He didn't win the fight though he went 0--1-1 with canelo. Jacobs is gggs best win.

    Definitely, the way he hit a brick wall and faded in the second half of the bout was alarming. Still had him winning tho 7-5.

    The first fight GGG beat him clearly as everybody knows, but the rematch although GGG won, i wouldn't call it a ass kicking. Remember, only 2 of the ringside media gave it to Canelo, 15 had it a draw, and 15 or so had it for GGG.

    Are you saying that GGG was lucky to not have 3 Adelaide Byrds? I guess he was lucky in that regard, otherwise it was GGG anywhere from 9-3 to 7-5 in rounds, the ladder if you are trying to give Canelo rounds even against your better judgment.
