Golovkin because, in fact, he beat Canelo twice. It's beyond question he beat him the first time, and the consensus of expert opinion had him beating Alvarez the second time:
One guy has everyone dropping what they do in order to land a fight, while the other guy had people dropping what they had to not fight. Golovkin will go down as a huge what if and overall underwhelming career but their scenarios aren’t even remotely the same. If GGG afforded people life changing money, maybe more people would’ve stepped up but Canelo fortunately can get whoever the **** he wants. He obviously has to win the fights and there’s no denying his talent but like I said, two entirely different situations.
Just wanted to echo this as it's an excellent post. The money factor is what it is. Sure, you can say GGG could've taken less money to take bigger risks, but c'mon gentlemen this is boxing. Who makes a living fighting and attains wealth in doing so after growing up in poverty and says "sure, I'll keep risking my life for less money." These men are fighting for money and even if they're not - their promoters and managers sure only care about that. GGG just couldn't bring the money Canelo does. Doesn't negate Canelo's greatness either, guy is fantastic and we should all appreciate that he is doing what he is
