Hell no. Ortiz, for example, wanted Wilder and didn't get him.
Oh, so all the people GGG could have fought and didn't was just because they were scared. This is just apologetics.
And if not for the apologists whose opinions would you be trying to balance out with your constantly negative slant on GGG?

I don't think GGG is far off ruling the division, certainly not so far off that it's laughable to suggest otherwise. Canelo is hopping around weights now and arguably shouldn't even be ranked there, and who else is seriously challenging GGG for MW supremacy? BJS? A contender GGG already beat? Which other active MWs have stronger records at the weight and should be ranked above him?

Kovalev ... Close fight with Ward
Ward ... Close fight with Kovalev
GGG ... Close fight with Jacobs
Gonzalez ... Lost

Canelo has a seemingly easy outing against Chavez, we shall see.
Ward Kovalev I wouldn't pu in that category because they are both such class fighters,
It's fine in that category, because it provides another example of a top fighter losing and a top fighter winning unconvincingly. It would be a different matter if Ward won close but clear, rather than getting dropped, outlanded, outworked, and defeated in the eyes of many reasonable observers.

Canelo is saying anything to downplay Golovkin's rating but he forgot that Lara outboxed him [Canelo].
He forgot to give Jacobs credit for having the balls to actually fight Golovkin.
