    How much credit would you give GGG if he knocked out Canelo in under five. Which would give GGG more credit in your eyes?
    - knocking Canelo out cold
    - having Canelo quit on his knees
    - having Canelo's corner throw in towel

    Also, Hopkins moved up after becoming the undisputed MW champion. Am I correct on that?

    0 Credit, He would say Canelo is a cherry picked Junior Middleweight that GGG drug up kicking and screaming, these ****heads are beyond predictable.

    Unlike a lot of you guy's here the fastest way to get credit from me is beating a guy I like. I'm no hater I'm a realist , I could see the argument of people hating on GGG if he was doing something remarkable but hes not.

    Quite honestly I give a degree of credit for a few of his win compared to other current fighters its nothing but its better than what hes been doing.

    I can name 10 fighters off the top of my head right now who have beaten better opposition, won the majority in dominant fashion, and are accomplished champs, that get hated on more and arent called ATG's.

    Real talk P4P Berto is better than Lemieux, so while I like unifying division's. Beating guy's like that is Not great.

    I think Lemieux is a good opponent for Golovkin. 160 is relatively weak but let's be honest, Golovkin is head and shoulders above the division. He'd receive less hype if he didn't have his KO power, but since he does have tremendous power, he tends to get a tad overrated. I became a believer in GGG a while ago and I think he takes his reign of terror up to 168 eventually.

    That is subjective.........:deal

    Pacman's and Mayweathers division get allot of hype because they compete in it.

    You didn't answer my question :(

    In a fight, there are three ways it can go. Win, lose, or draw. But for Canelo, the only three ways it can go are the ways I mentioned above 😛

    Berto is a former Champ who has at least beaten Champs, Lemieux hasn't arguing who better right now is subjective arguing who's the all around better more experienced fighter isn't.

    The more likely way is GGG gets beat and you guys start calling him a hypejob and move on to the next.

    And the sad thing is when he does lose (which isn't that far out) that's exactly what he's gonna be called. Not because he's a hypejob but because you re****s are making him out to be something he may never be and that's a great.

    Dude. There's just no way Canelo beats him. I'm not hyping him. Im just saying it how it is. Golovkin is more technically sound AND has more power. That's just a bad, bad combo for Canelo.

    I don't see Gennandy as more skilled he's has different skilss but he's not more skilled.

    Being honest from what I can see, GGG - power, footwork, punch placement. Canelo - defense, counter punching, speed, overall offense.

    Stylewise GGG plays into Alvarez's hands a bit slow come forward fighter,
    Power is really a overrated attribute which is why alot of power punchers get overrated early. I'll take the faster guy with better defense.
