At 29 a supposed beast mode GGG had his hands full against a lower tier fighter in Ouma in a fight in which he was missing with a lot of sloppy shots and getting tagged far too much. The reality is that GGG has never been a defensively savvy guy. If you're able to trade with him (which all the top fighters he's faced have been able to do) and you're able to put your punches together, you'll have success tagging him flush and ripping him with combos.
Earlier in his career, his fanboys would actually praise him for getting hit flush and insist that he'd deliberately run his face into punches, yet the moment he stepped up his opposition against guys who could better exploit those openings, they suddenly claimed he got old overnight. If anything he benefited from fights like Brook and Jacobs because they served as reminders that he can't just expect to walk through opponents.
At any rate, GGG was as good as he was ever going to get in his rematch with Canelo as he remained undefeated (with a soft resume/not many pro fights) and finally had experience against top level guys under his belt, including going 12 rounds with Canelo, yet Canelo went in there as the betting underdog and beat him at his own game.Comment

Strange how GGG wasn't past prime when he was beating up guys like Brook, Wade and Vanes. No one said he was over the hill vs Danny. I'm almost certain The Groupies had Danny Boy fitted for a coffin.
But it wasn't until he faced Nelo when his real age came out

70% think Canelo will lose, so much for your GGG bashing.
Canelo was scared to mix it up with Floyd, despite being 13 years younger.
Floyd's jab held him at bay, I remember because I actually thought Canelo had a chance to win (or at least make a fight) which he didn't, the undercard stole the show (Matthyesse vs Garcia).Comment

Those GGG BY KO fans, though

The real questions are he said “the best guy out there.” Does the casual know the P4P list? There are 6 people in front of GGG. Does each fighter have a narrative comparison with GGG? Or is it simply to use GGG as a proxy tool to discredit Canelo specifically?Comment
