Floyd got sent to RETIREMENT by father time.
Hopkins WAS THE CLOSEST but finally got beat by father time.
GENNADY looks STRONGER and BETTER with every passing fight and he is 34. His prime gets bigger and more impressive as he ages SOMETHING we have NEVER SEEN before Will he be the first ever fighter to fight past 50-60 and still knocking everybody out WHILE UNDEFEATED?
Gennady COULD BE THE FIRST ATHLETE in HISTORY to beat father time.
Umm...I've got ~350 names on mine.
Granted, most of them aren't regular posters, and were likely alts that posted a bunch of nonsense in spells.
Jesus. I only got a couple faegs on mine
He has a chance to define himself for the reasons you've named, but will the political orgs let it happen? The guy is a phenom, he's great to watch, but if great fights can't get made, even if it's not his fault, do we rank him with the best? Today's orgs and politics literrally make it impossible for great talents to reach the levels of their predessesors. Its a conundrum, but should we just rank on potential? There are just to many obstacles today. In one sense it helps fighters to get a belt, in the other it prevents them from fighting the best. Given his resume Golovking doesn't deserve to me mentioned with the greats. Given his skills I would put him in any era and expect him to be a force. Can he do it for several more years? Its not out of the realm of possibility. Certainly though the odds are against him.
I certainly agree on the points you make here; goes for a list of other contemporary greats too, that they end up with a weaker resume than they rightfully deserved under optimal circumstances. We would end up having to rank a lot of today's fighters like this, though. The best simply rarely fight the best anymore and if they do, they are overdue as best exemplified with May-Pac. For whatever reasons, and it is ignorant to blame Golovkin alone for it, GGG doesn't have a deep resume, just as our dear Vitali Klitschko didn't. They are still greats in my book, because they are great in their respective eras and how they represented themselves as champions, defended their titles with long reigns, etc. GGG does need his Canelo, Ward though but there's still time. You cannot make up better opponents and he fights and defeats who's put in front of him, much like Vladimir did.

Let me know if you want to be added by talking non sense and being a troll.
I'm inactive here lately but I still feel offended for my name not being on your list
I think he's still very much prime and has 2-3 years left at the very top. Hopefully we get to see him define his legacy during this period. He isn't battle worn, not injury prone, still a fresh fighter and that's key in terms of elite longevity. Plus his lifestyle is all round positive, healthy, extremely disciplined, etc.

He can dominate bums as long as he wants too.
He will retire as the greatest fighter we have ever seen.
Charlie Z is the only man that can beat gennady

lol you got 90% of boxingscene users on that
This thought has crossed my mind. The man is so dedicated to GGG I have to assume he is on the payroll.
The only guys on a payroll here all have pics of Floyd in their profiles or sigs...
archie moore, george foreman, bernard hopkins....all beat father time while fighting better fighters. Golovkin is awesome, but he has proven nothing to be put in the same sentence with these men. And given today's rules and inabilities to make fights because of the abc orgs it probably won't happen. I'll be rooting for him though!
this is what i was thinking but maybe we are the crazy ones
