If one thing is for certain GGG win over Ishida is better than Canelo win over Kirkland.
Ishida > Kirkland.Comment

His heavyweight wins were against fighters w/ records of 3-2, 10-10-3, 5-7-2.
But I guess it's kinda impressive that GGG stopped a fighter who took punches from HWs and stayed up. Not like Ishida muscled up to HW either, he looked fairly flabby.Comment

Jesus Christ. I get you wanna be a smartass but you made the wrong comparison using Marquez and Murray because I wasn't compare those 2. I was comparing Marquez and GGG. So that's a fail on your part already.
The point was pretty clear though.
Despite the loss to Bradley, I still had Manny ranked high in the division (#2 behind Floyd) so when Marquez beat him, Marquez beat the #2 fighter in his division.
Despite the loss to Martinez, I still ranked Murray high in the 160 division (#2) so when GGG beat him, he beat who I thought was the #2 fighter (other rankings had him high in his division as well).
Clearly the talent level isn't the same but relative to their division, they beat guys who were at/near the top of their division.Comment

You're still comparing apples to oranges.
Murray likely should have won a split decision vs a shot out Martinez. I get it. But do you really think that would be ggg's best win? I mean, what has Murray gone on to do since? He's all shot out himself.Comment

Most impressive thing he's done from my point of view.Comment

I had Murray #2/3 in the division when GGG beat him. So yes, I think it's his best win.
I'm not arguing it's a sexy name because it isn't. But he beat the #2/3 best guy in his division. What else am I supposed to ask for when guys in his division like Martinez, Cotto and Canelo didn't want to fight him.Comment
