Is Golovkin a hall of fame fighter? he is almost 34 and been pro 10 years

[about.thousands]

Hamed was far more deserving than Barry McGuigan, Gatti and Ray freaking Mancini

Hamed cleaned out 126....all the belt holders, or when they were stripped for fighting him


Hamed is the most dominant featherweight of the last 30 years...since Salvador Sanchez



Barrera, Morales, JMM, Pac, Azumah Nelson, none of them guys ever unified or beat the other titleholders(Marquez did doe)


people get caught up in fighters personalities without even looing at who they fought




Hamed should have been in the hall of fame years ago......dude has a total of 37 fights and 9 were versus champions and he was the lineal featherweight champion several years......GGG has 34 and he only beat 3 former champions and it doesnt look like that number will be going up any soon considering how he is matched up

Yea while Naseem was unifying against killers like Augie Sanchez and Ceasar Soto. Morales, MAB, and Jones were fighting each other to see who was the best. Dude got a taste of A-level competition and decided he wanted nothing to do with it.

This is what is sad about the sweet science of today's boxing politics. If HBO truly cared about Rigondeaux they would help encourage, perhaps ACTUALLY sit down with Rigo a couple years back and say, "We are HBO, we want to represent you and promote your two Gold Medals and 500+ amateur bouts, and we will try our best to get you Santa Cruz, Quigg, and Frampton and truly unify it because..we..HBO really would like that marketing under our banner....

But...we will bet like gamblers and say fuggit, we rather promote a Kazakh! Guys like you come around all the time, and if we wanted, we could easily buy you out of Caribe and set you up with a better promoter even though he or she doesn't like you doe!"

im no expert on TV content buyers, but im assuming that they prefer content where their audience actually STAYS AWAKE......

Youre not even qualified to even hold a conversation if you dont even know about the fighters

you dumby...you dont even know who he fought or unified with


Sanchez was in defense of the title, genius

He beat Steve Robinson for the WBO

LONG TIME title holder tom Boom Boom Johnson for the IBF

defended against 5 time champion Manuel Medina

Won lineal title from Wilfredo Vazquez a 3 divison champion

beat Cesar Soto for the WBC

Rigo gave Donaire a boxing lesson...how many setups of that caliber opposition has been made since? It's called retaliation from HBO. In other words, Rigo vs Santa Cruz? Or are we to guess Rigo just beats him effortlessly and boring? That's not the way judge a technical win just because peoplw theorize Rigo's late fight is the way he always fights, innit mate?

His HOF credentials will be judged at the end of his career, not now.

[just the facts]

Well in my and many others opinion GGG will also be the exception. He's about 1 year away from staking his claim.

Not likely, you have to remember it's not fighting that makes fighters old, it's training. g string had all of those years in the gym as an amateur that Hopkins didn't. That's why I have such a hard on for g string passing on the Ward fight. It would have been at a time when both were close to their peak. Instead, team g string insisted on a catch weight Ward absolutely couldn't make and killed the fight.

[sugarsmosley]

yeah, the welterweight no skill having punching bag who beat nobody of note would have ¨wiped the floor¨ with GGG. sure

YDKSAB or maybe you're just talking out of your racially motivated hate towards GGG, idk, anyway that was a moronic thing to say

Gatti was nothing but a punching bag

He got into the HOF because of popularity alone, mainly because of his entertaining matches with Ward and his tragic demise

GGG is currently one of the most popular fighters, and will be the face of boxing after he defeats Canelo and unifies the MW division, which is just a matter of time.

He's already viewed as the fighter who came to save boxing from the debacle after the Mayweather-Pacquiao match, getting the casuals interested again. The second coming of Mike Tyson in the way he dominates everyone in front of him, with highest KO% of any MW champ ever

If Gatti can be a HOFer then so can GGG
