It's hard to say how great GGG really is. While he has beaten a lot of quality Middleweights he has yet to face the best in his division.
But it's not his fault that the elite of the division have yet to fight him. Guys have vacated their titles, they have negotiated their way into other bigger money making fights, and have other promotional ties that won't allow them to face GGG.
He should though have faced Ward by now. But both are to blame for not making that fight happen when the opportunity was there.
Canelo will face him in September. That's when we will see how good he really is.
I agree with Jackson about Roy Jones Jr. But on the fence when talks about James Toney. Both would have been damn good fights.

It would be lights out if he fought my boy Toney.

I get people think Kov resume is much better, because he beat up aging grandpa B-hop.
But if you really break it down, there isn't a clear delineation. You look at what opponents done before and after a fight.
(I'll never understand why people put so much value in a name, and less on actually skill at the moment the fight happened. Do that, and many boxers resume look much different. Canelo, Floyd, both had beaten a lot of former champs, but many were limited in skill by the time they fought).
Kov has been lucky, the top LHW have been willing to face him. The top SMW has agreed to come up to face him.
GGG will beat a SMW at some point. There is a reason GGG is regarded so high.
But Kov trainer just hating.

Jackson must not know about these GGG fanatics. He's protected for now because he trains Kovalev. But the moment Kovalev looks less than spectacular, or loses a fight, JDJ will be blamed.
