    Crooked judging dont make it true either. You have to go to the court of public opinion.

    GGG has dominated more.. To me he is more accomplished.

    If you think GGG beat Canelo twice, I would say GGG. If you don't believe GGG beat Canelo twice, then I would say wash or a slight edge to GGG due to Jacobs, and Derv being better than anyone Crawford has ever fought.

    Daniel Jacobs is not top tier and he is quite overrated on this forum. The resume speaks for itself.

    He falls in the same bracket as John Mugabi, a decent fighter who will come to win.

    I don't think that GGG was any more dominate than Crawford. There are pros and cons in both their careers and resumes. If you compare them, they pretty much even out statistically. I find that they both deserve the status that they have, one no more than the other.

    Crawford has never had a close fight. Triple G has had like 4 or 5

    Golovkin has had only 4 fights that went 12 rounds, all but 5 of his wins were by KO devastating KO.

    The version that GGG fought was at the top of his game. Coming in off of three decent wins over Quillin, Mora and Truax. Who went on to take the 0's of Arias, Sulecki and Derevyanchenko. Of course one can say but he arguably lost to Derevyanchenko. But in retrospect, is that a bad thing? Since Golovkin and Charlo almost did too. Clearly Sergey is maybe just a half step below their levels, so there's no shame in looking poor against him. Then Jacobs went on to run Canelo far closer than most people expected, taking five rounds off of that version of Canelo is pretty goddamn impressive. Sure, he's looked bad his last two outings, but it's pretty obvious that he's bordering on shot now. So I think my ranking of him is pretty close to perfect. Fine, maybe 4.5.

    Golovkin. It doesn't really matter who you had winning the Canelo fights, Canelo is on his resume (and vice versa) because they fought twice and Crawford has nothing to compare.

    If Crawford fights Spence, even if it's a controversial draw as opposed to a win, that would strengthen his resume considerably.

    Given that GGG won at least 1 Canelo fight in the eyes of most boxing fans, GGG's resume is miles ahead of that of Crawford.
    If Crawford beats Spence and some champ at 154, he will surpass Golovkin

    When Crawford's best prime win is Viktor Postol then the answer is GGG. I will watch the Sergiy - Adames fight later also.

    LOL whoever thinks GGG didn't win the first fight at least is on some decent crack.

    Not really impressive enough to outweigh the potholes on his record and be classified above a 4 imo. I'd say 4, never been elite but he's decent, as in above average and he will come to win. He has sufficient boxing ability, a known slickster, and on top of that he's a very big middleweight so with those two traits together he could hold his own against the elite such as GGG and Canelo.

    He falls in a similar catagory as Jermall Charlo. But unlike Jermall Jacobs isn't one to cherrypick

    What potholes? He was KO'd by a beast like Pirog, one of the most skilled fighters produced by Russia in the last 20 years, basically the Russian James Toney. So what.

    I hope Crawford and Spence ends up being 2-3 bouts. At this point GGG with the 2 Canelo fights might have a slightly better resume. I voted TC at 1st because I forgot about Alvarez, since I was only considering wins. I changed it to GGG after factoring those 2 fights in.
