I like GGG but come on people as of right now he is no where near ATG status not even close( I consider ATG top 10-15 boxers in the last 100 years). He has awesome power and now he's getting pushed by HBO so he should start getting some big fights. but as of right now his resume is paper thin you can't realistically say he's in the top 10 since 2000. Another thing going against him is his age He's 31 and spent a good chunk of his prime fighting Journeyman fighters ( D grade at best ) that's not impressive.
GGG is exciting but it'll be interesting to see what happens when he faces elite competition he has potential but it's to early to hand the crown to him yet.
And for people claiming Calzaghe is a ATG that's a joke straight up he fought almost his whole career in the UK and mostly fought nobodies. What's his 5 best wins ? ( he didn't beat Hopkins and Jones was a shell of his former self ) what's left Kessler , Manfredo, Bika yeah that's a resume of one of the best who ever put on a pair of gloves. I get that he's popular but I view him as a Chris John type of fighter , won a belt stayed at home and beat people he was supposed to beat just a over rated champion ( I bet if you went to Indonesia Johns the #1 ATG I mean he beat Marquez and a boat load South East Asian rice farmers & Scrap metal pickers). That's ATG status right there.

Imagine a Calzaghe vs GGG fight. The world might implode upon itself with such greatness in the ring at one time.
