    It's ok to have this opinion. the problem is if someone else had the exact same resume you wouldn't hold it in such high esteem and would be poking holes in it.

    What is it about GGG that makes you and others change the way you evaluate things?

      Not Mayweather, I don't think. It would be a thin favorite, but still the favorite imo. But i agree that no one else would be the favorite right now @ 160 against GGG, and the boxers themselves know it.

        Matthew Macklin
        Curtis Stevens
        Osumanu Adama
        Daniel Geale
        Marco Antonio Rubio
        Martin Murray

        Wtf? Nice troll thread. If you are trying to knock GGG it's not working. I'll be the first to admit his run of opponents is not some murderers row, but the dude is just getting started. If he was at the tail end and his resume is the same as now. Then I'll say he is one of the biggest hypes in boxing. But come on the guy is young into his career and still has a solid 10 years left if healthy. I want to see GGG step up and fight Ward, kovalev, that other Eastern European guy(I forgot his name) and other real top guys. But those top guys have to be will to fight him. Right now everyone in the middleweight division is running scared, Quillen doesn't want any, Jacobs doesn't want any and the Ward fight will happen I know it. But people need to chill because he has just begun.

        When he gets to the tail end of his career and his resume is still really soft I'll be the first to smash all over it.

          I think were many great middleweights capable of beating this competition, but the list is much smaller for those that can get 7/7 stoppages.

            A fighter moves up in weight when making the weight he fights at weakens him. Any other reason would be ******. Cotto moved up in weight because he had trouble making the weight he was at. Cotto has never fought at a weight limit of 160 in his entire career. He is the pretend middleweight champion. GGG has no trouble at all making 160 and says he can make 154. Why in the FUC would GGG move up in weight if he can so easily make 160? Hagler, Zale, Monzon, LaMotta Ketchel and other great middleweights stayed at middleweight and nobody gave them any **** about it.

                Only the greatest ones.

                SRR, Hagler and apparently, Ronda Rousey.

                  Yeah but Ali Raymi has 21 straight KOs against D/F tier opponents. GGG's last several fights have been primarily B level fighters. There's some context for ya.

                    GGG still fighting in his first weight class and he been pro 11 years while cotto started at 140. Dude us too ***** to moved up in weight because he too busy trying to get a payday from floyd, cotto, chavez jr, and martinez and all pass over him because he has not beat anybody. **** now the Ward fight will be off the books because Ward is not a ***** and trying to move up to fight a fighter who is better than GGG. Dude is missing big fights because he wants to wait for cotto and canelo.

                    Also add the fact that GGG is doing the same **** as those fighters you named. Fighting bums while trying to talk themselves up to a cotto, canelo and floyd fight .

                    First his resume is not that bad. He has defeated many fighters in the top 10 at the time he fought them. He knocks them out so easily that he makes them look like bums and some fans forget that Geale, Rubio, Macklin, Murray, Stevenson and a couple of others were all rated in the top 10 WHEN GGG FOUGHT THEM. After he knocked them out they were of course dropped from the top 10. Secondly he tries to fight the best possible fighters but they refuse to fight him. This is not true of Wilder who could be fighting much better fighters but he does not want to. I am not the only one high on GGG. He is ranked as the BEST middleweight in the world by Boxing Scene, HBO, Boxrec, ESPN and just about everybody else so it's not like it's only me who thinks he is the best. Ring magazine did a poll of their readers on who was the best PFP fighter in the world. 65% voted for GGG over Mayweather and everyone else. For GGG fans to not be so high on him someone will have to give him a close fight. So far he knocks everybody out and he loses even fewer rounds per fight than Mayweather.

                      you really didn't address my points at all. I am just curious as to why a guy is suddenly better to you once GGG beats him.
