If GGG retired today, how would he remembered? (If at all)

Burley and GGG are both warriors. Burley in fact would sympathize with GGG more than guys like Canelo. In fact Guys like Canelo are the reason Burley didn't get title shots. Not 23 year old African Americans who weren't even alive when Burley was alive. Warriors accept challenges. Burley? Can't be argued. g string? Will not accept a fight he doesn't have the built in advantage.

As the coward that ducked Andre Ward. Unfortunately Ward's legacy will keep that cowards name alive.

He wouldn't be remembered as a hagler, Jones or even hopkins because he needs a couple of career defining fights and wins....look lets be fair golovkin is kazachstan and that's a world away from being an American,mexican or UK boxer so he never had that exposure that even a anthony Joshua is getting now...he's had to come up through obscurity and fight on events that were simply not aired on any major network ....it's only in the last 2 years that he has started to creep into the minds and thoughts of the USA public and media....if he retired now he would not be remembered as an ATG ..he has 4 years to cement his legacy as from now

Meh........

And cotto and Sergio before that. It's impossible to win a lineal title when the lineal champ won't fight you. It makes the title hollow. I don't give him any sympathy for Cotto because he made a good million. Plus Cotto is small and past it at this stage. I kind of give Sergio a pass too because he was clearly damaged after the Chavez Jr. fight. He was just looking for a retirement check at that stage. Canelo is a prime, top 10 pound for pound caliber fighter and has absolutely no excuse.

He would be remembered as a" coulda been". The man people feared so much he never got his chance

Golovkin was only 7 pounds 11 ounces at birth, and has moved up all the way to 160............ :rofl: 10/10

That's true but that penalizes GGG for Canelo's diva antics. The only way he can win a lineal title is to stalk him everywhere he goes like Shannon Briggs and keep putting pressure on him. And cotto and Sergio before that. It's impossible to win a lineal title when the lineal champ won't fight you. It makes the title hollow.

4 "LINEAL" title defense.....GGG has 0 lineal title defense That's true but that penalizes GGG for Canelo's diva antics. The only way he can win a lineal title is to stalk him everywhere he goes like Shannon Briggs and keep putting pressure on him.

Nah. 2 wins over Taylor doesn't erase GGGs body of work. He only had 4 title defenses. 4 "LINEAL" title defense.....GGG has 0 lineal title defense

This site is being ruined by trolls. It's one thing to disagree about how good someone is, but this is just arguing for the sake of arguing. Floyd and manny got the same treatment from retards like the two posters in this thread. It completely disrupts any discussion and turns it into a childish discourse.

No. Charley Burley moved up unlike Golovkin. Golovkin was only 7 pounds 11 ounces at birth, and has moved up all the way to 160............

Individual wins is all that matters. Nah. 2 wins over Taylor doesn't erase GGGs body of work. He only had 4 title defenses.

Burley would sympathize with Ward who was ducked by Ward. You poor self hating loser. I don't think Burley would sympathize with a guy who ducked himself.

Personally I think he'd be the guy who ducked all the top challenges and achieved a KO record in MW history but no real substance When Willie Monroe is your best opponent and he almost beats you then what does that say about your legacy? He needs to move up in weight or just go down and fight canelo. Im sure he can lose a few pounds, he looked like 'fat bast*rd' from Austin Powers against Wade. Disgraceful... https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/gettyimages-493166950-e1461280543882.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&w=780&strip=all lmaooooooo holy **** ban this guy already

Sergio did more. Kelly too. They have better individual wins but their title reigns weren't as dominant. Golovkin has the division in fear.

Ha you have to make Burley look like a coward like Golovkin. He moved up. Please don't be Black. Burley and GGG are both warriors. Burley in fact would sympathize with GGG more than guys like Canelo. In fact Guys like Canelo are the reason Burley didn't get title shots. Not 23 year old African Americans who weren't even alive when Burley was alive.

Lmao @ Wilkie Monroe "almost" beating GGG. Terrible, terrible thread. I wish I could give less than one star

We GGG fans should bump this thread in 5 years.

GGG is the center of the boxing world! Another thread promoting him!
