For the 5th time... Did I defend GGG's resume at any point? I've already told you his resume was ass. But... Canelo still ducked him and deserved to lose to the past prime ggg when they eventually fought.
As far as resumes in boxing... Yeah, he has a top resume... In comparison to trash because this generation is garbage compared to past generations when it comes to making the best fights available vs other prime opponents. Before, guys wanted to face each other at their best... From the eras of Leonard, Hagler, hearns, duran, to the era of Oscar, Trinidad, mosley, vargas. But this group whether it's golden boy, or pbc or top rank, politics plays a bigger factor than it ever has. There's no reason why Crawford vs spence shouldn't have happened, or Charlo, andrade and Canelo fighting each other and so on. But these guys are ****** to their promotors and don't demand these fights. So as far as canelos resume.. Yeah, he's the best of the worst. But he's more accountable than the others because he's the star. If he wanted to face any of these prime guys, he could demand it and golden boy would bend at his will. But instead, since the Lara fight 7 yrs ago he's chosen to focus on minimizing risk by always facing guys that are either 35 and older (Cotto, ggg, Kovalev) , the obvious weakest champ in a division (Smith, fielding) , or guys coming off poor performances.. With hardly any exceptions.
