    100% yes.

    It doesn't make him all that in terms of ATG status. If GGG was a basketball player, he would be one of those players that were the best to never win a championship. That's GGG.

    However, to have one of the greatest careers a fighter can hope for? 100%... 150% even. Without a doubt.

      Because the difference is when I made you slap yourself for me it was based off something you actually wrote lmao not projections. I'm sorry you got the ****ty genetics from your Caucasian side and that you are 340 lbs with no hair.

          He was afforded the opportunity to fight so many no hopers in a row.
          From where he came from to where he's at now, financially, yes.
          It was a heck of a ''career''
          From his POV, of course.

          How did his resume warrant that many paydays (at least 3 of them)

            Let's look at it another way.

            Any boxer that isn't a certified ATG would love to have GGG's career.

            2 losses and only to a certified ATG while building a legend of being some sort of bogeyman.

            In a way, Benavidez is currently marching along that same career path.

            His career wins are Dirrell, Plant, Andrade? That's basically Lemieux, Jacobs, and Brook.

              No question
              GGG made the most of nothing
              I'm sure his bank account is very enviable to plenty.

              Holy Moley
              Twins !

              I guess what it actually comes down to is likability.
              If resumes were reversed, though
              How would NSBers look at Nelo ?

                In the long run people get what they deserve

                due to not taking risks ggg has faded into obscurity and never became a crossover star

                Ward and Floyd were there. ggg fought neither

                  Yeah
                  GGG gets love by default
                  Mugs, for some weird reason, dont like Nelo.
                  Who went out and chased greatness.
                  Might as well love GGG

                  So called fight fans would skewer Nelo if he had GGGs lame resume.
                  No one would make a thread bragging about it.

                      Honestly it goes to Hankey without question. A two weight (soon to be 3) weight division champ. A gift against Loma, beating a weak ass prograis and at 147 is a piece of shlt division. Not to mention even BEFORE getting the gift against Loma a few fights beforehand eddie Hearn paid em millions which lead to dazn going ppv and raising the price lol
