The fact that most people think he beat Canelo twice, definitely the first time, it suggests he is far from overrated, unless Canelo is overrated too, which a case could be made for. Not to mention he was past prime and mid 30's when it happened, while Canelo is prime.
The guy is/was one of the top fighters in this era. In his physical prime, he would've beaten Canelo more convincingly, that's for sure.
That said, he's not some ATG or anything.
Ultimately we can tear apart anyones resume if we have an agenda, right? if we really had an agenda, we could say with different/fair judges that Canelo could have 4/5 losses on his record. It is what it is. People are either the best thing since sliced bread these days or a bum.
If GGG is overrated then Canelo is too, when in his prime he only got a draw and very narrow win over an older GGG in fights most thought he lost both.
That's the thing Canelo still has other names on his resume and is still building up GGG only has two controversial fights against canelo history will remember that he never moved up ,he never fought anyone besides canelo .he wanted Mexican style and failed at it. Canelo still has other names on his resume and still growing at the end GGG all he is a guy who stalled his career waiting for Canelo who took his belts he didn't Chase greatness at 168 he didn't seal the deal with BJS he just stayed there and won't even fight anyone not named Canelo
Only 2 other fighters ever got as many hate threads as GGG and they are Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Think about it. And then praise GGG.
Mayweather and PAC are different breeds compared to GGG they are not even comparable
Yall kids are hilarious!
Martinez refused. Cotto refused.
CONelo ducked the sh.it outta him for YEARS! Gave up a belt too! Waited till G got older to fight him. Gets caught with PEDs in his system to top it off!
If that ain't being afraid of a boogeyman, I don't know what is!
Get off the nuts
STFU don't compare GGG to Martinez. When no one wanted to fight Martinez he moved up in weight to seek other opportunities. GGG just stayed in. Wasteland instead of moving up and seeking other opportunities it's his fault he wanted his own time he chose to stay in the wasteland and waste his years
typical lame fanboy ****, Canelo waited him out for 2-3 years, if he had fought him right away canela would have gone to sleep.
WBC ordered them to fight. In May 2016 Canelo waited til September 2017. So it was about a year and 4 months so you are way off
If hes the most overrated of this generation, what does that make Canelo? considering he needed two gift decisions agaisnt him. So does that mean Canelo is the most overrated of all time or something?
I don't like canelo I never did and never will but he's got a resume just love PAC just like floyd
The reason people make so many threads about GGG like that just shows his pure dominance and your awe and jealousy. You people would love to have an American GGG. If his name was Gerald Smith and had black skin you would be sucking his balls and tell everyone he is the greatest fighter that ever lived.
All you got is a cheap budget wanna be versions of GGG like Spence who is a weightbully and who is running from the top fighter in his own division, Crawford.
Lol you are definitely a racist

I don't even like Spence and I'm not even black if you want to base this off racism because that's the only argument you can come up with then to bad. I'm making my argument off of recent facts

For years ??? WBC ordered the fight to Happen in May 2016. And Canelo fought him September 2017 so it's a 1 and four months. You are way off
Who the hell knows why the OP and a handful of others seem to hate GGG. Maybe he wouldn't give them an autograph or something.
Personally, I have great respect for the guy. He's respectful, conducts his business professionally, comes to fight and is always in shape. If more boxers worldwide were like that the sport would be far better off. Is he overrated? Depends on who is doing the rating I guess but I tend to laugh at those who claim that he somehow ducked a guy in another weight class anyway. If that's even part of their reasoning then I just chalk their entire position up to immature hateraide and it deserves the Billy Madison treatment.
So what if he's respectful and a gentleman it's not a moral contest. Mayweather had a ****ty attitude and he came out successful I'm talking about what's been done inside the ring

Hey I'm for it they are both overated difference is the redhead will fight everyone and the GGG one will only fight the redhead one
And what does any of that mean?
He won the title. It doesn't matter if you think his opponent was worthy of being champ or not. Then he set the record for title defenses in the division.
He had a couple of close fights against the best in the division and arguably won them all. Big deal.
Hagler never fought outside of the division. Does that make him overrated too?
He gave up his belt to make $35M against the #1 guy in the division. He took the toughest fight he could and it's life-changing money.
But none of that will matter to you because you'll never listen to reason. There's no reason to debate it because it's like trying to debate a 9/11 conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer. It's not worth my time or effort.
Enjoy your Two Minutes Hate
Hagler actually fought everyone and fought all the new guys on his block he took risks . GGG didn't do that he is just a guy a obsessed Canelo that's it it's always been that way he doesn't fight no one just the facts that he said he would fight Canelo again even if he loses to Jacobs goes to show how obsessed he is
this just confirms my theory that all these weirdo golovkin haters that post about him daily are dribbling spastics that can barely string a coherant sentence together.
english mother****er do you speak it?
What's your point? Are you gonna debate me or not or just throw insults because you can't refute anything I've said
GGG is a joke to boxing a few years ago people said GGG would never rematch Jacobs and that he would never fight Charlo or Andrade. Look he still hasn't done it and never will he is bad boxing simple as that most overated. Fighter of this generation. His resume includes a great defense streak against bums ,one controversial draw with Canelo one controversial loss against canelo one controversial win over Jacobs and best official win Kell Brook even lomachenko has a better resume than this guy. GGG most overated fighter
Every single point you made in your nonsensical, rambling post has already been addressed or refuted, here and in other threads. I learned long ago if someone has a stupid obsession with someone they're going to find a way to nitpick their performances no matter what the reality is. It's not worth debating but you're not going to convince anyone when you're naming boxers GGG supposedly ducked who couldn't beat other guys GGG whipped or naming fighters in different weight classes. That's just stupid.
You think GGG is overrated. Good for you, have a cookie. Perhaps try to post something factual next time rather than a rambling overly emotional post.
What fighters did GGG beat that others couldn't ? Come on make sense debate it . Everything I said is factual he has two controversial fights against canelo only unified the ibf against David Lemieux. Had a controversial fight against Danny Jacobs. Never moved up ? Won't fight anyone else at the top at 160 not named Canelo . Never became undisputed . Gave up his Ibf belt. These are all facts. They aren't opinions they are facts can you refute them ?
Cause you're an alt, a bi.tch, a fake, a troll, a pretender.....entiendes, dic.khead?
You're mad because im calling GGG overated but ain't debating me. What a dumbass. You know his resume is crap .that's why you refuse to debate
I don't even know what you are talking about bro. Both Canelo fights, an overwhelming majority of media scorers had Golovkin winning. That's a fact. No one has beaten this guy yet without alot of people disagreeing. That's what I mean with convincingly
That's the point that's all he's got to his legacy two controversial fights over Canelo that's all he will be remembered for
he was on the decline and some people thought he won. the decision got booed. anyone who watched that fight knew that 'young lion' was no world beater. hurd went in there and took trout out like a world class fighter should do.
So basically Hurd beat an inactive trout coming off an 16 month lay off who Trout was beating hurd on the points til trout finally said no mas but hurd was bleeding from his face. Good to know thats impressive
I mean he is a bum that's what they call him right ? So he should be easy to get rid. Smh. Hell I favor Canelo to beat Jermall. But I don't know why he doesn't go for it
