    I think that was all GGG's chin. It was a monster punch.

      I don't think anyone questions GGG's chin, jab or tenacity
      Just his resume. It looks bland imho.

      Who knows. If he had more opponents who could have legitimately tested him he could have proven one way or the other if
      he was truly great (not great because he had a winning streak).

        I think several top contenders avoided him in his prime. I also think he had a late arrival to fame. He was thirty or just past it when he fought in the USA if I'm not mistaken.

          Staying at one weight is not daring to be great especially when that division is arsecheeks. I like GGG, but he doesn't have a good resume besides beating Canelo 2x. I thought Jacobs edged him. GGG was a lot of hype. If you can't move into other divisions, fcuk off, don't care.

            Could be
            More money for less risk
            Not an unheard of career move.
            But, you can't say GGG felt comfy staying at MW racking up all of those KO W's.

            If a div is dried up, how many defenses does a guy need ?

              GGG is a hall of Fame talent with a mediocre resume. He won't end up best middleweight of this generation.

                    I've always liked him. He just wanted to beat the best in his division when he was in his prime, I didn't notice any of that A side nonsense either.

                      Samoan's are genetically gifted to be at HW. Unfortunately, they lack the best Western coaches. they have that fat Eskimo type of DNA where they're just born HUSKY and BIG.
