    When has GGG ever beaten a fighter of note? RJJ at that point was arguably the biggest phenom in boxing. Everyone knew he was special and yes that RJJ wouldn't have lost a round to any version of GGG. I already answered your post saying that Hopkins was locked up and had to learn on the fly. You didn't like the answer so you downplay it.

    You never answered my question about who has GGG's best win Jacobs beat?

    “I’m not going to 68, that’s out,” said Ward to thaboxingvoice.com about him not moving down to 168 to fight Golovkin. “I moved up. That was a real opportunity for him to take that fight. He didn’t want the fight. He wanted to push it out 2 or 3 years. Once you go up, you can’t come back down. If he wants to come up, that’s another story. I’m not going back down,” said Ward.

    No, just the same ring in which a flat footed Canelo was able to hold his own against GGG and PBF would be
    alright.

    He could have fought GGG at any time.

    Golovkin even said he'd drop to 154 for him, which I think was nuts, he'd be drained to death, but, ok.

    The Canelo GGG fought >>> the Canelo Floyd fought.

    That's right but Floyd was still better.

    Saying Hopkins was a filthy scumbag prior to boxing isn't answering my question at all.

    I'll repeat again.

    1. Would Golovkin at any point in his career get dropped and struggle with a fighter of the level of Mercado?

    2. Would Golovkin need to fight Allen 3 times to prove superiority?

    Answer them directly and I'll answer yours straight away....also you can throw in why exactly Allen was good enough to share the ring 3 times :aaaaa:

    PBF was in his 5th weight class and faded and the smaller man so that more than evens it out. Not only that GGG was expected to knock out Canelo so come again?
    PBF shutting out Canelo > GGG drawing with him:deal:

    B...b....but GGG just wanting to beat up smaller fighters...

    Laughable considering Floyd dragged up JMM and then purposely missed the contracted weight.

    LMFAO after Ward move up to 175 of course he wasn't going to come back down. FFS he was struggling to make 168. While Ward was at 168 GGG hid in the bathroom until Ward moved to 175.

    GGG was a nobody back then. PBF had bigger fish to fry than a guy whose best win was Martin Murray. A guy who never even won a world title, stop it.

    I thought it was on record and admitted by HBO that both camps had agreed in principle to a fight but Ward wanted a fight prior to it only to blow out his knee or shoulder and was therefore shelved and team GGG did not wait around.

    The whole GGG/Ward thing is not simply black and white.

    JMM called PBF out after a layoff out and JMM was already a HOF back then. He was light years more well known and accomplished than GGG to boot. What's laughable is that GGG was willing to fight Chavez Jr and Froch at 168 but when Ward came knocking GGG said 164 and hid under the bed.

    A drained, green Canelo you mean.
