    The whole boxing world knows that GGG beat Canelo TWICE!! But got the Vegas shaft because Canelo was the new Cash cow & must not be allowed to lose. Like Floyd before him he was protected & nurtured so well that many part time fans believed the BS about them. Pac was revered by the REAL boxing fraternity he earned what he achieved by himself Floyd has never forgiven him for being more respected as a real Champion than Floyd will ever be. He's still bombarding the internet telling people how great he was ROFL But hes too dumb to realize that a true great doesn't have to tell you how great he thinks he is He SHOWS you!!!!!!!!!!!!. To do that he needs the stones of a champion Pac has them Floyd & his replacement Canelo were stuck at the back of the line when they handed them out to the MEN!!!!!

    One of the Most feared Middleweights we have seen for some time.....If it was not for the absolutely corrupt Adelaide Byrd would be up there with the absolute Top 5 ever still in mine for that reason.!!!

    Especially a talent-stacked and history-steeped original-eight division like MW.

    Wherever Canelita gets ranked in history Golovkin gets ranked higher no matter what, he beat Alveroids the 1st fight no matter what his homers say.

    H2H pretty high. Career wise? He wasn't a pro that long. Blame it on the Warsaw Pact.

    Golovkin > Hagler

    Hagler lost against 3 years inactive SRL. GGG 8-4d Clenelo twice (you know the guy who can beat Usyk)

    The fact he was ducked so much speaks for itself.
    Even if people are in denial about that, it's an absolute fact Saunders and Canelo both avoided and aged him once they got MW belts, and Saunders was considered back then one of the 'slickest' boxers around, and people consider Canelo 'ATG' material.

    Golovkin would beat all these nostalgia 'ATGs' from Murica.
    He had no weaknesses.

    He also had plenty of strengths. Power, chin, skills, endurance, mental toughness.

    Possibly sold out in the final fight though, which was disappointing.

    Great fighter but was robbed blind by Canelo, Vegas & the NSAC. The guy no one fancied their chance against him

    I did think after that fight Byrd would retire to her condo in the Riviera somewhere.....But sadly nothing was done and She copped no Flak at all.....This sort of **** is common in Boxing now sadly it's now just not the same because of the Powers that be Innaction.....
