    GGG deserves to be in the top 10. We didn't get to see him fight anyone great when he was in his prime but that's not his fault. He destroyed all legitimate title contenders, and was robbed against a prime Canelo while way over the hill. Guy was a beast a few years ago

    He could've been but he didn't fight anyone to prove it. He was fighting fringe contenders. What he was doing to them guys like Fitsimmons and Ketchel were doing to ATGs at higher weight classes.

    He also clearly doesn't have a the sheer 1 punch power of McClellan or Jackson

    I didn't say he deserved to be no 1, and Carter for starters. Can't see Mclellan beating GGG either

    Carter seems more explosive on film and him beating Benton, Elis and Griffith (in one round) is very impressive to me. As I'd hold all 3 as GGGs best win.

    McClellan at MW beats GGG, he'd be walking forward but be to scared stiff to throw anything but a jab, just like he was against Canelo, Jacobs and Lemieux, and McClellan was definitely quicker than GGG. He'd either be outboxed by Gerald or KOed if they traded. Obviously imo

    Golovkin may struggle at 35 against a prime Mclellan, yes, like he did against prime Canelo (still beat him) But that isn't the fight I'm talking about.
    Prime for prime Mclellan realises he can't knock GGG out, loses heart and gets stalked down and then beat down.
