If GGG retired today, how would he be remembered 20 years from now?

[daggum]

as the best mexican fighter since carlos baldomir

He would be a great ambassador for the sport. He is a gentleman, never trash talks anyone, doesn't have tattoos like a gang member from East LA or like a Russian mobster, doesn't walk to the ring with a dozen gangsta rap fools or Justin Bieber looking ******, doesn't spout ridiculous things about how his god is so great and will fight anyone with the balls to get in the ring with him. What more could the sport ask for?

OK, I will agree GGG has some great characteristics as a person and a fighter but its all been seen and done before. Boxing needs something new, its sorta like Broner boxing dont need him we have Mayweather & when he retires that persona can retire with him.

& besides if he were a true ambassador, he wouldnt need the support/acceptance of Mexican fans to help boost him in the boxing world.

So who would be a better ambassador? Woman beater Floyd after he retires? Stevenson the enforcer pimp? Jermaine 'Brain Damage' Taylor might be a great NRA ambassador but not so good for boxing.

Give me someone better. And by the way, I didn't make the suggestion, I just happen to agree with it.

Andre Ward, a Christian family man, a proud countryman, and olympic "Gold" medalist. Wards inactivity (legal issues) frustrates people and his refusal to become the "the bad guy" imo holds him back from stardom but as a person, he seems like someone you'd let watch your kids and support. He also has a better resume than GGG.

Would anybody even remember who he was? A lot of fighters careers are not appreciated until their careers are a done. I know GGG hasnt been around for a long time but for all the hype he has and being a unified champ, how would he be remembered?

if ggg career ended today he would be remembered as a strong middleweight who never fought an elite fighter.

a bad ass Mexican ATG

[bluebeam]

I'm not saying Cotto is better than GGG, I'm saying Cotto won the middleweight championship of the world and has not lost that title in the ring or retired. So GGG may look better but he is not the champion until he beats the champion. I'm sure they will fight fairly soon. In boxing things take months and years to materialize, not days and weeks.

so too you Stevenson is the real champion and not kovalev?

[hugh grant]

If GGG keeps a level head and continues to work hard and train right, and do things right, he could beat middleweight contenders for the next 5 years.

By then he would be the best middleweight of all time. As of right now, he is the best middleweight and people think he can go onto become the greatest of all time. So should campaign at middleweight and not move up weight and do things there.

An afterthought. A hype job of Sven Ottke proportions.

Hell no.
Triple GGG is way better, than ottke.
