    The numbers I pulled said 1,773 people had GGG winning by an average score of 116-113

    Not a draw worthy card

    The first fight was not a draw and the masses have decided that in terms of data

    Will never understand how anyone had the first fight a draw

    Close doesn’t mean controversial. Swing fights aren’t controversial to me. They are just close.

    I don't think a draw is the worst decision and I stand by that.

    It's not like as I said Lewis dominating Holyfield and somehow Holyfield getting walking away with a draw Canelo/Golovkin 1 was very competitive.

    If Canelo had won the 1st fight with Golovkin then yeah I would've had more of an issue with that because I can't logically see 7 rounds for Canelo.

    But I can reasonably see 6 rounds for Canelo and 2 of the judges had reasonable scorecards it's just a shame 1 judge wasn't being fair.

    Like I said I had Golovkin winning 7-5 so you don't have to convince me I also believe Golovkin deserved to win. But I just don't quite have the same emotion over it as alot of other people do I can see a draw being totally reasonable.

    Nah. He didn’t. Actually fans know who really deserved the W in that one. The majority vote on fights carries far more weight than scumbag paid off judges opinions do

    1. Canelo
    2. Jacobs

    Not sure the order of the rest... hard to rank imo.

    I watched Brook vs Golovkin, I think his best win is against Brook. Not because Brook was his best opponent, but Golovkin got very angry when Brook landed some nasty shots on him in first 2 rounds. And he turned on destroyer mode and KTFO Brook.

    Against Jacobs, Golovkin won rounds 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, he won by 115 - 112. Plus, Golovkin knocked down Jacobs in round 4, no way Jacobs won that fight.

    Against Chenko, Golovkin won rounds, 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12 and knocked Chenko down in round 1, so Golovkin won by 114 - 113.

    Which Canelo victory is the poll referring to?

    GGG's first or second win against Canelo?

    Please confirm
