    BEAT ???
    I doubt he ever hurt a non bum.
    Jacobs was not hurt by that flash KD.
    In fact, feed Jacobs those same bums that GGG fed on and Danny KOs them all as well.
    GGG did nothing special other than be allowed to fight so many bums in a row.

      but ended up being a very good fighter instead

        Another W/C/S have level guy
        Had he faced livelier bodies or kept his promise...who knows ?

        3 tries vs Nelo and nada (a possible robbery in the 1st fight ?)
        A tough fight vs Jacobs (some say it was a gift W)
        A gift vs Chenko

        At best (giving GGG a W vs Nelo 1)
        3-0-2; 0 KOs
        Could have very well been 0-1-4;0 KOs
        (A draw vs Nelo 1 and L's vs Danny and Chenko)

          Pretty much

          ggg didn’t take any risk in his career

          no risk in neither his choice in opponents nor moving up in weight

              LaMotta actually beat a great fighter

              who also happens to be the GOAT

                True...what was his record vs SRR....1-9 ?
                GGG would have done well back then with his shabby resume
                He may have been written up as some ATG

                    Damn now you're a flip flop? You were rooting for the Phillies and they got destroyed, and now you're a Dodgers fan? Didn't you literally say California was a **** hole? Lmao you can't even make this up.

                      California is a sht hole. I don't live there. I just like the Dodgers and Lakers. I hate the Phillies and their fans. Where did you get that from, one of your drug-induced purple hazes?
