He prevented Hopkin's record from being completely shattered after that BS Vanes fight tied it, ended Triple Girl's undefeated streak, took his belts, triggered GiGi to leave the ring w/o doing the in-ring interview, made Gigi not want to speak English no mas
Will unify the division unlike no active boxer so yes it was historic!

Turning the tables on boxing's boogeyman definitely ranks among the ballsiest moves by a fighter in recent years. It was a risky gamble but it payed off as it caught team GGG completely off guard to the extent that GGG abandoned his team gameplan and retreated for most of the fight which was an ill advised move given the circumstances.
He prevented Hopkin's record from being completely shattered after that BS Vanes fight tied it! i believe the first title GGG won was against lemieux, so hes had 8 defences?
still good, I'm not knocking 8 defences, one against an elite LMW too.
I guess if you count back to titles he was given without a fight, its 14 (from Dan Geale onwards).
no way anyone counts IBO though.
Hopkins dont need no help.
Really a Prime convicted in the same calendar year PED cheat
Walking down and getting a decision most feel he didn’t deserve against a boogeyman who was 36 clearly on the backend end of his career
Should be considered the best W in the sport in the last 20 years
Get the f.uck Out Of Here
That W is “ tainted “ on a couple levels and even then it doesn’t stack up to any of these legitimate Ws / fights in the last 20 years ,
Hopkins beating Trinidad
Fury beating Klit
Marquez KO Of PAC
Tarver KO Jones
Corrales vs Castillo
Mayweather beating PAC
Barrera beating Hamed
Margarito beating Cotto
Get off Canelos Nut Sack
It's the only victory in the history of boxing that has any sort of relevance. They might as well just cancel the entire sport, erase all footage regarding previous fights, and blow up the hall of fame because nothing will top that complete and utter majority decision domination.
You should make another thread about it tomorrow. Maybe a few, I mean what's the point of talking about anything else relating to boxing? That majority decision is the only thing that matters. We can all live vicariously through it and become better people.
win of the last 20 years????????
That boy had the odds stacked against him that night and did the unthinkable.
So what now your ready to get down on your knees for king Canelo.
Aargghh Fanboy!!
FML this is what it's come to? Winning razor thin fights being treated like a complete landslide..these "fans" are weird these days.
It was a masterclass bro, stop being a hater
You’re aware why he was off a year right ? The guy is a steroid cheat.name the steroids he got caught taking....I will wait...if you say clen I suggest you do research cause clen is not a steroid..
Blah blah blah he got caught on PEDS. Waited for GGG to get old, still vacated the belt originally. Should of lost the first fight easily. Its boxing when canelo runs, but when Lara boxs it's running. Biggest fraud in boxing. Nothing is ever stacked against canelo, everything is in his favor.
Don’t forget the ref and judges were handpicked by Borat’s team LMAO.
How the hell do you get to handpick a judge that scored your last fight against the same opponent in your favor?
Took Borat’s “0”, took his belts, made him run out the ring like Broner LMAO, made him forget English, made him fire his trainer, made him change his name to Gennadiy LMAO, made him take 9 months off, made him “try out” 164 pounds.
Idk if it’s the best win of the last 20 years but it definitely was one of the most satisfying for real boxing fans.
I absolutely loved seeing the white media darling get his soul taken by Canelo. I liked it even more than KTFO6 of the other white media darling, Pacquiao. Pacquiao is actually a great fighter though, just not the greatest like they made him out to be.
You do realize they don't get to "handpick" judges or refs right?
Canelo has never in his boxing career had the odds stacked against him. That's hilarious.
Also, the fight was almost a year ago. what's the point of this thread? For a fanbase who constantly tells us how awful GGG is, you guys really hold on to that win.
EDIT - "year long layoff" dude was suspended for PED's. Nice spin lmao
Underdog according to the betting odds, year layoff, first fight after knee surgery, walking down the bigger man, etc.
The odds were stacked against that boy
Keep crying tho

Is Canelo walking down the Boogeyman after a year layoff & knee surgery the best ... | BoxingScene Community
