These isn't even a cohesive set of examples of one "style" prevailing over another, just victories of "Mexicans" (including first generation immigrant American-by-birth Ruiz!) over "Europeans" (including AJ! Even though nobody refers to Brits as "Europeans" in this context). Canelo GGG particularly weird since Canelo isn't "Mexican stylee" and Golovkin ironically more or less is (for all of Golovkin and Sanchez's hot air, Mexican Style rings true), and Canelo didn't (arguably) beat "Euro" style in the rematch; he beat stereotypical Mexican style with clean hard precision countering and slickness, I.e. one of the best answers to Mexican style. I really wouldn't call Ruiz real MS either, though moreso than Canelo. Mex style is donkey-faced Jaime Munguia, albeit a particularly bumbling and ugly iteration. All in all, weird thread.
Well of course you picked 3 very select examples but only being able to fight 1 style is a limitation, being able to switch styles to what suits is a character trait of the very best fighter. That's not to say there aren't examples of 1 dimensional fighters being amazing and doing incredible things (Chavez's run will always be legendary), but the 3 Europeans you listed all have entirely different "euro styles" so you're weakening your own point.
