    GGG

    he beat way more ranked opponents and we know he couldn't get several big fights because, he was avoided by basically anyone with a name at MW when he was in his prime

    Sergio Martinez ducked him, Sturm ducked him, Billy Joe Saunders ducked him, Peter Quillin ducked him, etc

    It took him a long time to even get someone like Jacobs in the ring with him, it looked as if he could get more meaningful fights after that

    but then an undersized ginger faced him and beat him, and took the wind out of his career's sails

    Then he lost any interest in legacy fights and only wanted to fight bums while waiting for another paycheck by Canelo

    He was already out of prime by then, so it's understandable

    he'll go down in history as another what if, if he hadn't been so avoided in his prime

          Golovkin is a complete fighter. Wilder has the footwork of a deer, with a great right hand.

                I love both guys, but GGG's an all-time great (top 20-ish) Middleweight.

                Wilder, though I think he's the 2nd best of this era, isn't close to being a top 20 heavy.

                He MAY be top 30, if that.
