I think de la Hoya is the youngest 4 division champ ever. Broner is no doubt the weakest member of that fraternity tho.
If you look at the canelo ggg fight in the context of boxer(ggg) vs pressure fighter(canelo), ring generalship, defense, and effective aggression are actually fairly close. canelo gets the edge in clean power shots, but jabs aren’t nothing. We get caught up in the context of who was supposed to do what, which has no place in scoring objectively. It was a good close fight...I have no issue with canelo getting the nod. Ggg looked every bit his age in there, I think canelo could have fought a more disciplined fight and won decisively without taking as much punishment. He’s far better as a measured boxer than a pressure fighter imo.
