    Make a Case for Hopkins or Hagler being better than GGG as middleweights

    GGG has a longer reign than both. Hopkins acknowledges this fact himself.

    GGG has beaten Canelo not once. TWICE. that eclipses every single opponent either has faced.



    Don't even bring up Monzon. He's not on the other 3's level.

    Official results only. Sorry ggg doesn’t get a win over Canelo and even if he did, it doesn’t surpass wins over Duran and Hearns.

      Nope, Whitaker gets the win over JCC. Only reason he's in the HOF

        Correction: Canelo beat the crap out of GGG twice.

        Hopkins would outfight GGG with his dirty tactics. Hagler would give a good fight to him but he was too small. I think GGG beats Hagler and loses to B-Hop.​​​​​​

          0 wins over Canelo.

          His resume isn't strong enough is the reason why he's usually ranked (well) below both at MW.

            in hagler's era under the same day weigh-in rules, there was no 24 hour rehydration. You are aware of that right? So GGG would not have been "too big"

              GGG would be LHW in Hagler's era.

                well he wouldn't have been at mw then. But if he was fighting at 160, he wouldn't have been rehydrating overnight.

                  This and it's that simple.

                    If you're going to give GGG wins over Canelo, then Hagler could get a win over Sugar Ray Leonard. This is a ****** game. Resume tells the story. What wins does GGG have that will stand the test of time?
