    mentioning hagler isnt really helping GGG out either.
    Haggler is a legend who stayed and dominated his weight, nothing wrong with that.

    Murray is very underrated on here for some reason, drew with Sturm in Germany, lost to Martinez in Argentina (a fight he should have won) and had a close loss to Arthur Abraham. He's a big, strong durable fighter. GGG is the only guy to stop him.

        Canelo gave GGG a generous split both fights as well. Canelo was the one that really wanted to make that fight. GGG was demanding sky high when Canelo is the one that sells the tickets.

I think it speaks volumes about how good nelo is that you & others think just because a fighter rehydrates to high 170s from mw that it suddenly means they are not taking the most massive risk by going up to 170s fight vs the most dangerous puncher with the best pedigree & massive height/reach advantage who also has the belt.

            At what point do you hold ggg to the same standards? At what point is ggg expected to move up to full 175 vs kovalev(not just say he was willing,but actualley move up & take a risk vs elites)?(ggs bigger than canelo too)
            Why doesn't Canelo fight Callum Smith at 168. That would not involve a catchweight. Canelo is willing to go as high as 174 for Kovalev. I expect the Smith fight to happen this fall if Kovalev doesn't accept the offer. That's the fight I'd like to see Golovkin take if Canelo refuses to rematch him at 160.

              ah ok Murray is so good because he couldnt beat anyone. good proof.

              not a bad fight though it was free on channel 5 if I remember right.

                A draw with Sturm in Germany is practically a win if you get my drift. The Maravilla fight was in Argentina and lots of people felt Murray got jobbed there too. Not just Brits either.

                Murray was a good fighter.

                  I think ggg fans need to realize that (most?)canelo fans have a ton of respect for gggs skillset,

                  I have just been saying exactly the title of this post for many years.

                  Imagine a World where ggg didn't sit around waiting for canelo & how great his resume might be by now,I been saying as well as others that its asanine gggs team treats his career like hes a dainty flower,when in reality ggg has/had the skills to have 5x better resume if he was merely willing to sacrifice & not chase money while hedging his bets
                  In fairness, imagine a world where Sturm, Maravilla, Saunders, Canelo and Froch would have fought him in his prime?

                  I'm not saying GGG is perfect or entirely blameless, but on balance I think he's more sinned against than sinner.

                    Did you even read what I said, maybe go and watch some of those fights and see if he actually lost..

                    Im not saying Murray is some amazing fighter but he was a natural 168 fighter who was competitive in all his losses up until that point and there is a strong argument some of those fights he should have won. I would argue that is a risky fight for him.

                      Ggg fans are so pitiful sometimes they actually resort to discrediting a fighter who at 9 yrs younger age has already accomplished 10x the amount & taken 100x the risks willingly without being forced like ggg was v jacobs.

                      Ggg is an absolute pssy who has forced his fans to do mental gymnastics to justify every single thing hes gone back on that he once claimed made him better than others,like when he was going on & on about dragging a welter up155 was a disgrace to boxing,weeks before dragging up brook to 160.

                      Now he dragged up a literal brick layer(ranked 117th @ the time) to a catchweight fight him & his fans used to say was disgrace to Boxing. He dropped his IBF belt because "its business decision not to fight dangerous fighter without being paid a lot" after him & his fans claiming businessman ginger nuts disgraced boxing yet as I said from day 1 nelo knew it only mattered that hed leave the ring with his beltshe wins belts in the ring ggina surrenders them after being gifted vacant belts by committee.
                      You're defending Meatnello wanting to rip 5 pounds off the LHW champion in order to win and be a LHW champion? ****ing ridiculous.
