Probably right. But that's also because the competition is not up to par. That's the irony of the whole thing.
How many Slams would Tsonga win today?

Screw the competition
Murray in 2012 didn't have best competition when he won USOpen. He won vs Nole in windy final where Nole physically wilted. He played 3 straight days that time.
Murray doesn't have a dominant gene.

A windy final? Was it less windy on Murray's side? If the conditions don't suit Novak, somehow the match means less.

It is not best situation to win. Where is Murray's second hc slam.

Poll?
In the 2012 U.S. Open final, Murray beat a version of Djokovic who was otherwise 25-1 from the Canadian Open-Shanghai Masters, with the only loss being to Federer in the Cincinnati final. Then, after an early loss in Bercy, Djokovic went 5-0 to win WTF.
That was a really high level version of Djokovic, and the wind had an impact on both players.

Maybe none, maybe one, maybe 2 or 3. It's the same answer I would give you for Zverev if you rolled back an alternate timeline keeping levels of strength consistent.
Both need the draw to open up a bit (has happened several times)
Only unlike Z where he needs not to choke, Tsonga rather needs to peak.
So yeah, depends how many times he'd both be peaking and not facing 3 of Djokovic, Sinner, Alcaraz, Z and Med on his way to the title.

True, Djokovic was pretty high level.
Should have won that final DAMN you nole
Because Djokovic further improved his overall game, in that period, to become a truly all around player. Particularly the serve and the net game really went further up a level. I don't see Tsonga competing successfully against Medvedev too, to be honest. The game slowly but steadily improves and Tsonga's would have too many weaknesses that could be exploited to be able to win against super consistent and yet powerful players like Medvedev.

SWAG - the same number he has today.
That's all right! Djokovic has won 24 of those!
I'm glad Murray won! He won only 3 of those!

Well I'm not glad tbh. He undoubtedly played the best tennis, no one in the draw was close, only to be screwed over by a freakin tornado. Felt like a robbery.
