If GGG beats Canelo he won't be the best name on his resume

Canelo is a good money fight for GGG but boxing-wise Canelo won't even be top 3 name on Golovkin's resume.

Lemieux, Monroe Jr., Geale, Rubio, Rosado and Macklin are all better wins for GGG. I'd argue that Kassim Ouma is also a better win.

Canelo is a hypejob, a natural LHW whose career has been built through extreme weight cutting and picking on smaller guys as well as being helped by corrupt judges who robbed Lara, Cotto, Trout and even Floyd (should have been a clear UD victory). They even bribed the judges for the Khan fight which is hilarious (one judge had it 4-1 for Canelo lol when it was the other way).

At 160, the guys I listed (actually proven elite fighters at this weight) are better wins than Canelo. Nothing suggests that Canelo would be able to hang with these guys in the ring at 160, that's why he picked Khan for his fight and not Rosado (who would very likely beat the **** out of him).

This is an interesting thread and I have said similar things about fighters winning fights against name fighters but from lower divisions.
I would agree that Canelo hasnt beaten a full blown MW and is a name rather than a proven MW like Geale who beat Sturm at the full MW division.
I can see where you are coming from. Canelo hasnt beaten a proven full blown MW
