Pac.probably.has.better.wins...but.also.has.clear. and.bad.losses.
But.I.don't.really.consider.him.active.right.now.a s.well...but.certainly.a.strong.case.for.a.better. resume.than.GGG.
Canelo.to.me.has.a.few.good.clear.wins.imo....Lara ,Trout,Jacobs...he.won.all.those.imo...but.saw.him .lose.twice.pretty.clearly.to.GGG...guess.a.lot.de pends.how.people.score.those.fights...but.I.feel.G GG.was.pretty.clearly.the.better.man.in.each.fight ...and.can't.really.co-sign.the.narrative.that.Canelo.deserved.a.decison. in.those.fights.
Seems.like.some.people.changed.the.way.they.score. fights.to.try.and.get.Canelo.the.results.in.those. 2.fights.
GGG.has.been.more.impressive.and.decisive.in.most. of.his.wins.as.well.compared.to.Canelo...going.12. with.a.40.year.old.Mosley.at.155.or.going.12.with. a.35.year.old.Cotto.at.155.is.not.really.impressiv e.

Never said you were a hater.
As I mentioned in an earlier comment, his resume stacks up very well with any other fighter in this era and is clearly better right now than almost any other fighter. A lot of that is because he is at the end of his career so he has more fights and more good wins.
But he also has no losses...or no clear losses. Not sure how anyone could score the Jacobs fight and the 2 Canelo fights as anything except 8-4 or 7-5 wins for GGG. So when people use those fights to try to slight him I think they expose their biases a bit.
Again not saying you're a hater but I feel at times some people who are neutral on GGG or even fans of his try to appear reasonable by acquiescing to the mob on here. The mob against is generally very irrational and emotionally driven but because they can be loud sometimes, the neutral on GGG group will adopt a slight anti GGG bias to try to appear reasonable since the mob is so far out of whack usually.
Not to say there isn't fair criticism to be leveled at GGG, there certainly is. But for the most part people seem to go way overboard on here.
To summarize my earlier comment about his resume - when you stop and dominate 15 or so good fighters in their primes...to me that is much better than beating a couple past prime former greats at higher weights than those guys were great at. And in Canelo's case he wasn't even able to stop Mosley or Cotto in those conditions.
When you have sparked everyone out like GGG has the only recourse people who want to hate on GGG can say is those guys ******...but in his case it is a vast overstatement. To never have a hiccup in that run is very impressive.
I evaluate fighters how they are and I evaluate fights based on predictions going into the fight. Ortiz Wilder for example. I'm not one of those people afterwards who says Ortiz was 50 years old etc. I felt if Wilder was able to come through in that fight that he would prove something and he did, so I gave and still give him a lot of credit for that win.
I don't have my self worth tied up in any fighters so I honestly don't really have any biases coming in. I'm just able to enjoy the sport and evaluate accordingly.Comment
