That's where he ranks according to The Fight Game with Jim Lampley.
If you look at it objectively does his resume and quality of opposition merit it? Or is this just a sign of HBO being desperate and trying to push GGG faster?
Absolufckinglutely not.
Don't even think he's in the top 15 yet, never mind top 5.
I think he could well get into the P4P list, but as of yet he absolutely has not done enough to warrant a place in the top 10, let alone top 5.
If we're just talking middleweights and super middleweights, I think we have a conversation here. Especially at 168.
Sorry, I should I specified. I didn't mean the absolute GOAT across all divisions. I'm talking about if he upholds the MW KO% while beating those guys. He's GOAt MW, IMO
Golvokin retiring undefeated and KOing Ward, Martinez, Froch, Groves and company makes him the GOAT. As far as MW/SMWs go. Fact
Haters gonna hate

So what you're saying is no one for the rest of the history of future boxing has a chance to be a GOAT and everyhing is already set in stone?
Why do these guys entertain us then? Some fighters actually want to be great and don't fight just for money, ya know
That's not even remotely what I said.
Golovkin doing what I posted wouldn't get him close. He'd a great, but GOAT? Hell no, not with what those guys accomplished.
He could knock out everyone you mentioned and Carl Froch and George Groves and Andre Dirrell and not be anywhere near GOAT.

I would hope you're trolling but with some of the Golovkin fanatics around here, it's hard to tell.
I know. Posts like that are why people are all over Golovkin right now. People won't stop saying stupid stuff.
What's so crazy about that? He currently holds the highest KO% in MW title history, no?
Hypothetically, let's say Golovkin beats Martinez, Murray, moves up to 168 and beats up Ward and retires undefeated and possibly hold that same KO%...how is he not in the contention of GOAT?
I'm just predicting the inevitable

There are many MW through out history that would match that ratio if they fought GGGs resume.
You don't get to top 5 P4P on hypotheticals.
As noted earlier, hero worship is a great thing, but you need to keep your feet on the ground.
Lmao imagine monzon, hagler or Robinson fighting golovkins resume. They would have s perfect murder rate.

LOL @ anyone who voted no
Delusional
if you think GGG is top 5 based on his accomplishments so far the delusional one is YOU!
Hero worship is great but please keep your feet on the ground
