None of that makes you a legend unless you fighting p4p greats of your era and winning….. only time triple g fought someone p4p his era he suffered a draw and a lost

Officially he did, but you know better.

Won first fight lost the second after all that Mexican style talk

If you’re a hardcore boxing fan you will care about Spence-Crawford a lot more than Canelo-GGG.

Spence-Crawford a fight between two prime undefeated P4P fighters, winner will be P4P king.

Canelo-GGG a fight between two media darlings for the casuals to suck it up.

Watch the rematch again, if possible, without the HBO commentary. You argue that GGGcan't be regarded as a legend of the sport unless he beats other P4P greats of his era, but then you admit that he should have won the first fight against Canelo. What better P4P fighter to best than the #1 guy?

Not necessarily. Many hardcore boxing fans have tired of the Spence-Crawford shenanigans. These two may well be circling each other into their 50's. Neither guy can get his nerve up enough to fight the other while GGG and Canelo are about to do it for the 3rd time.

What I think doesn’t matter…. It’s what’s official on his record which is 0-1-1 I don’t watch high level fights with sound on regardless because bias announcers speak most of time, triple G lost second fight

You're reasoning poorly then. You assert that GGG isn't on Canelo's level because he hasn't officially beaten Canelo, even though you believe he should have won the first fight. Your mind is boggled.

With regard to the rematch, many fans believed the same until they watched it back. Get a beer and watch it back.

GGG is not really a legend though.

He's like Kosta Tszyu if anything. One of those guys you look back on and go "that was a bad mfer"

but he's not a legend.

Spence-Crawford is going to create a legend.

GGG is not a legend lmao.

Maybe a legend can crusher....that's about it.
