It's not just who you have fought, but what you have done against those guys. Take Canelo's resume as an example. For such a young fighter he has an amazing resume. If you consider how washed up some of the names were or how high above their optimal weight class when he met them, it's less impressive. If you consider that he got dominated by a much smaller Mayweather and also had very close fights with B level fighters, it's less impressive.
GGG, on the other hand, has just destroyed pretty much everyone he has faced. Sure they weren't world beaters, but it's clear they had no business being in the ring with him. This is why he is so highly rated and why promoter's like DLH are so terrified of putting their fighter's in with him.
Look at it another way... What kind of record would GG put up against the guys that Canelo has faced? No way he wouldn't walk through every "name" on his resume with the exception of Mayweather. And he'd be a favorite over Mayweather too.
