    You might as well ask for a link to prove that Mayweather beat De La Hoya. If you actually watch the sport of boxing and you're not 20 years old you should remember these things happening in real time.

        Ah, my 2 favorite recent fighters.

        I love GGG, he's my guy, but he's not as great as Crawford.

        He never complete unified a division (though no fault of his own)
        He never left middleweight
        He fell off a cliff in his mid 30s

          I don't get it
          If fighter B were to have that string of bums as a career highlight, fighter B would be ridiculed into his grave.
          because golovkin was a knockout artist light skinned guy he gets a geddoe pass for not daring to be great nor challenging himself

          a mexican or black who did similar would be clowned out of existence

                  golovkin was happy to camp out in a weak ass 160 best opponent being a guy who moved up

                  the boxing gods were not pleased with golovkin's risk aversion and cursed him without a decision over Saul

                  back in the days they'd do ridiculous weight jumps for opportunities

                  golovkin would not even do a 1 weight move
                  For the exception of Sugar Ray Robinson; It’s a pattern of all Middleweights. They weight for the smaller opponents to move up in order to fight them.

                  Bernard Hopkins stayed at Middleweight for years waiting on De La Hoya and Trinidad to move up .Even after he had long outgrown the division.

                  He didn’t move up either until he suffered back to back losses to Jermaine Taylor. Likewise, the very the same thing could be said about Marvin Hagler.

                  Which is why he is among the classic four. He waited on the fighters from the lower weight divisions to move up.

                  For instance like: Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard in order to fight him.

                    Crawford greater and it isn't even close. This shouldn't be a comparison. What? Because they both fought Canelo? GGG fought Canelo at a more comfortable weight and didn't "officially" get it done. Crawford moved up nearly 3 weight classes and beat him. Sure, he wasn't the same Canelo, but it's not like he's a war torn Canelo either. The dude just had a lot of fights, but his more recent last fights, he's gone mostly undamaged. Crawford was just too good for him.

                      backfired on golovkin

                      Bernard SPANKED Tito and Oscar

                      Marvin was ultimately 2-1 with his all time great smaller opponents

                      golovkin Saul 1 and 2 were 7-5 type of matches
