    I have NO DOUBT that if there is a zombie apocalypse that wipes out all boxers except GGG, he will be the best boxer in the world. Not the best ever, but the best one in the world.

      I love GGG but the answer is no!
      He will go up in weight and lose 11-1 against Ward and everyone will say he is a bum because God forbid anyone lose a fight in this careers.

        Not now...not ever! He'll never be better than Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, or Joe Louis.

          Not a chance. He would have to move up all the way to at least light heavy to even be a top 50er.

            I want to see him against someone like Cotto/Canelo/Kirkland/ at 160. That's physically his best weight at the moment , and thats where the best opportunities are Financially.

            It would be ridiculous for him to move in weight now, away from the highest Paydays in the sport.


            Maybe down the line, but not now.

                Defeat the following by the end of 2016:

                Mayweather
                Ward
                Wilder
                Klitshko

                  The only fighter I see having the talent of being the GOAT is Lomachenko. And that's only if he cleans out FW + Rigo and then SWF and then adding another belt @ LW and JWW.
                  Pretty sure he could do all that in under 20 fights, but it would take a couple years. Only fighting twice a year in ******.

                    Do you mean best middleweight ever? Well, continue to be a champ for the next 5 years defending your belts and beating all comers and new challengers to your throne and you will eventually be seen as good as Monzon and Hagler. In that time the likelihood a few credible middleweight challengers will come along. So beat them. Its as simple as that.

                    BH hung around long enough to be in with a shout at being the best middleweight ever also.
