Lara is the weakest of the entire bunch, just a bunch of hype on a guy that never did nothing in his life. So even-ish.
He also beat Paul williams. Robbed both times.
Lara is a superior fighter to Canelo.

But when you look at either when he fought them, or how close/debatable the scoring was. It detracts from the overall picture.
I think he beat Golovkin the second time by a point but lost the first one by a point or maybe two at best.
I think he beat Lara but very close, worthy of a rematch. But Lara is such a “negative” fighter, I say bad luck to him, he should’ve done more but didn’t.
I think he had a close fight with Jacobs, potentially even a draw. But Jacobs waited too long to turn it on, and just missed out.
I think he beat Cotto pretty Cleary, but didn’t exactly blow him away.
Apart from the low level opponents like Amir khan and Kirkland etc.
He never really impresses me.
I think he doesn’t have as much pressure as a fighter to turn it up, because the close fights always go his way.
He’s definitely up there with the best, but I just don’t the special fighter.
No disrespect intended.

Jacobs is a good win, but he'0-3 against top guys.
Cotto was faded and probably worst MW champ ever.(beat a 1 legged guy for title)
Trout's an OK win, but he's lost every time he steps up in class.
No other wins stand out, and remember Alvarez has 35 wins in Mexico.

I would say GGG has a better resume because I think he beat Canelo both fights which makes him an undefeated boxer. He also beat Jacobs first in Jacobs's home state and dropped Jacobs. I consider Jacobs the best fighter Canelo ever really beat. Add to that GGG's record tying 20 successful middleweight world title defenses which included Murray, Macklin. Geale, Stevens and Lemieux who were all top 10 contenders by the respected Ring magazine at the time he knocked them out. Add to that his run of 22 KOs in a row. Jacobs's trainer Andre Rozier also said he considers GGG an undefeated fighter having beaten Canelo twice in his opinion.
