        How many fighters are HOF worthy after just 10 years in the game?

        Lets see how his career pans out first. He's a long way from retirement.

          Name one fighter with 400 plus amateur fights and had been in the gym since before they were 10 years old that were relevant in their 40s. There is none. That's why g string needs to quit fighting the no hopers and start fighting the upper level fighters.

          As good as ggg looks, Donald Curry was better and he faded fast.

            Curry being better is an opinion. Curry down fall also had a lot to do with drug use, lots of pressure, and not being discipline.

            Curry amount of fights is an excuse. Curry looked passed an opponent and paid the price.

              In all fairness, it's hard to call anybody a HOF fighter at ten years in. Mayweather definitely was not in '06. Pacquiao was not in '05. Duran wasn't in '77. Chavez wasn't in '90, although he was close, having stayed so busy. Barrera was not in '99. Trinidad wasn't in 2000. Morales was not in '03. Actually, it seems that at the fifteen year mark, most are ready to be considered. It's really too early at this point.

                NO he can't, you guys really need to stop, this **** is super annoying. How can you defend a "regular" title while there's also a "super" champ with that same belt in the same division?

                      if arturo gatti is in it then golovkin would be too if he retired right now. wins over macklin, monroe, lemieux, geale and others would put him in a position to be a hof'r. plus his amateur accolades are out of this world.

                      funny how you tried to use his age against him, yet i find it even funnier how relentlessly he's being ducked.
