If not, can someone point me at a major victory for mexican boxing than a mexican beating one of the greatest MW ever (MW being a division where mexicans usually dont shine at all), who was the dominant champion, with nearly 20 defenses, a brilliant amateur career, undefeated, record holder for most KOs of any MW champion ever, and was at least at the tail end of his prime?
This victory seems better than Chavez Sr over Meldrick Taylor, Marquez icing a Pacquiao with multiple previous losses or Salvador Sanchez beating a green Azumah Nelson
did Canelo just gave Mexico its greatest boxing victory?
Lmao at hyping up a disputed win after robbing the guy in the first fight. And now all of sudden giving GGG all the props in the world to make the Win better for Canelo when before everyone discredited G's resume.
Marquez laying out Manny was 10x better.
Not even close... Marquez’ win over Pacman is the greatest mexican victory of all time.
Eric Morales’s win over Pacman ****s all over anything canelo has done.
Gaspar Ortega "el Indio"
Fought Tony DeMarco 3 times in FOUR months! W2 L1 decs.
Four months later he fought Kid Gavilan TWICE in THREE months
W1 (world title eliminator) & L 1
That's two outstanding competitors fought 5 times inside a year!
These men today take 5 to 6 years to fight their equals Ortega did it inside of a year!
It took 2 years to make Canelo vs GGG then it took another year to rematch! Sissy boys!

No.
Marquez knocking the prime out of Pacquiao was a much bigger win.
I'm a big fan of Golovkin, but he's no all-time great like Pacquiao, not even close to his level. And Canelo barely won on the scorecards, Marquez's win over Pac can't be anymore decisive. Pac is my favorite fighter, and even I was happy for Marquez. That's how meaningful that win was.

Nope it wasn’t close. For me it is Marquez knocking pacquiao. Regardless of the issues surrounding it, and as a pinoy, it’ll probably be the biggest victory I will see in my lifetime.
Rivalry for 8 years ending in an epic KO in an epic back to back battle.
Canelo v GGG II was a close fight with no decisive winner. A great victory nonetheless.
much better competition? like who? Malignaggi? a washed up Mosley? How's that better than GGGs utter dominance over the MW division for years and years? GGGs w over Jacobs alone should be rated at least as high as any of Cottos best Ws
Cotto is far from an ATG, he's a HOFer and thats it. GGG is an ATG mw by his dominance of the division alone. Same reason Hopkins is considered an ATG mw, even if his MW resume wasnt that deep
1- Azumah Nelson was green as a cucumber in that fight, he was far from being considered the ¨GOAT african boxer¨at that point of his career
2- Hamed was a dominant champ but fought nobody of note, Barrera was his first real test and he failed
3- Pacquiao had 4 losses and 2 draws before that fight, and Marquez needed 4 tries, roids and a lucky punch to KO him, if anything, Morales W over a prime Pac was more impressive (any Post Margarito version of Pac is washed up to a degree)
That is your opinion but...OK? :dunno:

GGG biggest win is a razor thin decision over daniel jacobs 😆😆😆
The answer to your question is No
Ok I can see a case for Sal-Gomez being #1 as he was a dominant champ in his prime and had beaten the legendary Carlos Zarate at that point...
would you say Canelo w over GGG is #2 ?
You keep discrediting those great victories by pointing out the losers resume lmao. Yell us how ggg resume is better.. Who has truple jab beat? How many hof fighters has triple jab beat? Oh oh i know.... ZERO
Marquez planking Pacquiao is my all time favorite Mexican win. Canelo drawing and scraping a close decision against a bum beater hype job is nowhere close. And GGG is nowhere near an ATG middleweight with his bum resume and fake ass regular title defenses.Lmao well put, but I put Canelo's win over GGG's hyped up image number 2 behind that.
Was Cotto the undefeated, most feared welterweight kingpin with nearly 20 defenses and record for most KOs for a welterweight champion ever, when Margo fought him? didnt think so
You cant even name that hypothetical top 3, amirite?
Name GGG's top 5 wins
Sal Sanchez Vs. Gomez is the "Bees Knee's" of Mexico's greatest wins in boxing.
