    This is different.
    Canelo being p4p number 1 is the popular opinion strengthened by casuals who just look at his record and see a win vs GGG and Lara and don't bother watching the actual fights.

    The popular opinion that GGG won both fights is built by people who actually watched the two fights. If Canelo wasn't a big name he'd have 5 or 6 losses on his record and wouldn't even be in top 10 p4p.

    This is why 155lbs was known as Caneloweight

    He drained numerous bigger opponents at the time to give himself as much of an advantage as possible while going for the middleweight belts

    Because Canelo didn't have the balls to get in the ring with GGG They hadn't dropped yet I guess I wonder sometimes if they ever dropped or if he really ever had any lol

    GGG HAS NEVER NEEDED THE BACKUP OF THE STATE COMMISSION OR SUSPECT VEGAS JUDGES TO ENSURE HE KEEPS ON WINNING. HE WAS BLATANTLY ROBBED TWICE BY THE GINGER FRAUD TO BOOT
    GGG = A FIGHTER!!!! WHO EARNED HIS SUCCESS
    CANELO = A MANUFACTURED CHAMPION WHO WAS PROTECTED LIKE HE WAS MADE OF BONE CHINA

    We all could have died waiting for gigi to stop smashing tomatos at MW and to move up to look for a single worthy oponent.

    Live's awesome when all you fight is (former welter) ishida and friends.

    About how Derevyachenko was blatanlty robbed and how hell will freeze before we watch a more than well deserved rematch vs jacob we can talk in another thread.

    Any ****ing living body gigi has fough is whether a defeat, a blatant robbery or a doubious result. That's what happens when instead of pushing yourself to become better you sit on your german tomato cans for generations....

    The MAYORITY of the world disagrees with you, and isn't that (the Majority) what you use as "proof" that GGG beat Canelo.

    Don't be a hypocrite.
