Those are outliers for Floyd and ward but would be top tier for GGG.
GGG has been fighting top ten middleweights as ranked by The Ring and Transnational when he fought them (Geale, Lemieux, Rubio, Macklin, Murray) plus his mandatories (Wade).
Berto wasn't on any top 10 lists when Floyd fought him, and age 40 journeyman Brand isn't either.
Everybody wanted to fight Floyd, while many like Saunders, Eubank, Martinez, Jacobs, Alvarez and Quillan have avoided GGG.

All negated by the fact that the middleweight division is one of the ****tiest in boxing.
I enjoy boxing skill. I do not enjoy clinching and other sorts of fouling. I enjoy watching boxers like Juan Francisco Estrada. Or Manny Pacquiao in his fights against the big guys Margarito, Clottey, and Rios. Why hold when you can punch? Why hold when you can slip and duck punches? Its about skill, and I enjoy boxers who display theirs instead of fouling.
