    Why would beating GGG at 154 make him the Goat?? GGG's best win is Martin ****ing Murray,He has not defeated 1 current champion and is now facing Lemiuex who just won a vacant belt and he himself never beat anyone...GGGis so hyped on here it is crazy...his resume is worse then Maidana's and even Berto's..

      Now you know how we feel when Floyd fans make Floyd's resume look like the best thing ever when in reality, it isn't.

          Floyd and GGG's resume are not even in the same universe

            It could only help his case to take a risk of that magnitude, but I would think it's reasonable if he does not.

              Because he started fighting at 130 lbs. maybe?

              I'm not a Floyd fan, but that would make a great step in the direction of him being one of, if not the best to lace them up.

              That would be simply amazing. GGG is a beast no matter how weak you think his comp has been, (16 title defenses don't lie bud).

                it's still a top 20-25 resume which is nothing to laugh about......if you're top 20 you have every right to "think" you're the best.

                  I've said it in the past and I'll say it again, Floyd's "GOAT" ship has sailed. He's a great fighter and has a good resume, but he isn't #1. Top 10, maybe. Top 15 for sure

                    What are Floyd's top 10 wins? If you don't mind me asking.
