Which past fighters career most closely resembles GGG?

[ImStillHere]

I can't think of anyone who has come from a great amateur career to dominate the pros as fast and as completely as GGG. He now has 18 straight KOs with many of those KOs over middleweights that were rated among the ten best in the world when he fought them. He is the uncrowned king of the middleweights and much better than any other middleweight fighting today. Hagler and Hopkins were great middleweights but they did not get to be recognized as the world's best middleweight as quickly and easily as GGG.

oh you're gonna be so heartbroken when he gets beaten. You probably thought Lucas Matthyese was some demigod too right?

Stop it man,let him grow as a fighter and stop trying to compare him to accomplished greats...he is not even close to being there right now

Let him grow??
He's 33 years old.

You act like he's a 20 year old prospect.

I can see it...They're similar.

I used to love watching Harry Greb fight. He was very exciting.

Not in his posture but his "steps" remind me of Joe Louis.
When he lands flush it reminds me of Louis too! HA!

It's a shame there's no one to fight at 160! It looks like he has to move up and he is a perfect size Middleweight.

I agree about his size. He isn't small for 160 but he also isn't drained making weight.

Lucian Bute.

Don't tell me what to do Larry.

He's right. I'm sick of the force fed Golovkin hype on this site which is sucks because otherwise the guy is cool, and a real sportsman.
No need to shout out him as a historical ATG now, not because he can't be that good but simply because he hasn't done that much to earn that spot. His best win is Martin Murray, period. I know that it's not certainly his fault but he still needs to fight better competition, because just based on the wins like Murray and Geale he won't be an all time great or maybe not even HOF member.

I didn't compare him to any ATG so get up on out of here wit dat.
