-Mayweather dominated Canelo. But he didn't son him.
-Maidana dominated Broner. But he didn't son him.
-Canelo did everything Golovkin claimed to do, and made him cry and beg for a third match. This was a very personal sonning.
-JMM brutally KO'ed Pacquiao, but he didn't son him.
-Crawford dominated Horn, but he didn't son him.
-Sugar Ray Leonard did indeed son Duran. That was a good one you brought up. Roberto Duran was racist and he then got exposed as by SRL as being completely clueless in the face of adversary and being a quitter. That was a good sonning. He will forever be remembered as Leonard's son.
-Lomachenko didn't son Rigondeaux or Walters. There was no hate between them, nothing personal. He was just too big for the old Rigondeaux and too good for Walters.

A sonning is more than just dominance. It has to be pure adoption, it goes beyond what merely happens in the ring.

While I think the thread is distasteful, Calzaghe took everything from Lacey. I'm not sure i've seen such a collapse in a boxers mental and physical image of them selves after a fight, during too! However "no mas" will always take the cake for that Calzaghe single handedly ruined Lacey's career and probably a large portion of his life.

Why is the thread distasteful?

A draw and razor thin close decision win count as sonning someone? Did you start watching boxing last year shawn lad?

There is more to it than Canelo just beating Golovkin. It's more that he did everything which Golovkin had promised to do, that he made Golovkin cry and that he had Golovkin begging.

GGG, millions of upset fans and the vast majority of the press were sonned by the judges. Not opinion all you had to do was read up on the fight. Fact.

Actually I thought Maidana’s sonning of Ortiz exceeded that of Broner.
Broner made a better fight, but fell apart after the final bell with his cry-baby ****.

Broner/Maidana.

Canelo sonned him in more ways than just beating him. Beating him was, like 40% of the sonning.
