will GGG be a top 5 middleweight of all time by the end of his career ?

[-PBP-]

Pffffttt.........

How about just enjoy his fights at the moment and let the legacy stuff take care of itself?

[Mr. Philadel]

he better get a move on...as of now, he's a can crusher with a vocal fan base, a hypocritical trainer and a goofy promoter...he needs some eye catching wins ASAP

[Nay_Sayer]

Macklin, Murray, Geale, Stevenson, and several others were rated top 10 in the world at the time he fought them. He just made them look bad.

Macklin, Murray, Geale and Stevens ARE bad. Not a single middleweight of any notoriety among them...

[Nay_Sayer]

None of Golovkin's opponents to date were outstanding MW's for this period, but all were solid contenders - no worse than when Hopkins fought Allen, Echols, or Vanderpool (pre-Trinidad).

Hopkins beat better guys @ 160 pre-Trinidad than Bumlovekin has...

[Nay_Sayer]

Very hard to say. He's already one of the best of this generation.

Not according to his resume.

That's good enough. And he's going to be a first ballot HOFamer.

If he retired today, he never makes it into the HOF.

A Lemieux win will be a HUGE feather in is cap. Would be one of the best MW wins of this whole generation, since right now Lemieux is an absolute monster.

No. Not even close. Beating Lemieux, while being a good win, means NOTHING in terms of the context of this thread. Beating Lemieux is nowhere near the best MW win of this generation. It's not even on the same continent. And no, Lemieux is NOT an "absolute monster". Not even close.

[VG_Addict]

GGG's not even a top 10 MW of all time.

[soul_survivor]

GGG's not even a top 10 MW of all time.

I'm curious, how would you rank a top 10 list of 21st century MWs? Where, if at all, would GGG feature on there?

[Mr.Fantastic]

I doubt it.

You're a Hopkins fan. I bet you weren't complaining for Hopkins to move up in weight when he was dominating at 160 right? At least some of the opponents on GGGs resume are better than Hakkar.

[RED REP]

imo YES

1.)Marvin Hagler
2.)Sugar Ray Robinson
3.)Carlos Monzon
4.)GGG
5.)Jake Lamotta or B-Hop

That list hahahaha.
Go and LEARN the history of boxing!
