And if not for the apologists whose opinions would you be trying to balance out with your constantly negative slant on GGG?BitPlayer wrote:Oh, so all the people GGG could have fought and didn't was just because they were scared.

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?
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.BitPlayer wrote:Ward Kovalev I wouldn't pu in that category because they are both such class fighters,Evander wrote:Way things have been going lately none of the top boys have won convincingly enough or at all.
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.
