Elliot Worsell asks: Is Ryan Garcia, a fighter whose best win was annulled due to a failed drug test, the right person to evaluate whether Gennadiy Golovkin should be in the Hall of Fame?

Golovkin had everyone running to the hills for years

He deserves to be in the hall of fame more so than canelo as he bet him twice out of his prime

Golovkin is a Hall of Famer. Period. He is certainly NOT an all time great. He is probably not even a legitimate top 20 of all time MW. But the boxing HOF is a fairly low bar to clear as opposed to every other Hall, and Golovkin's resume is a good one. He was a polished, hard working, active champion. He took on all comers in his era. Yes, it was a weak era for his division. But if that is not held against Larry Holmes or the Klitschko brothers (and I would argue that applies to Tyson early in his career when he was most dominate) for their HOF credentials than all you can argue is did he perform dominate against that weaker era. And he was SO completely dominate it was a near comedy. The man was made of chiseled stone, never even really wobbled or truly hurt. His record against Canelo was so incredibly close (excepting that cash grab third fight) that I do not see them hurting his chances at all.

Beside- if Garcia is against it, I am likely for it out of a pure moral stance.

u get that a lot with ggg over the years, whos he beat whos he beat

its really a classic case of the influence those inept boxing judges have over the sport, u would have to be doing some sort of weird mental gymnastics to give canelo 6 rounds in their first fight

Ryan Garcia's opinion is not relevant.

I think losing to Romero is a far greater sin than PEDs use.
