Can a fighter be great if he

[mathed]

Just gets titles handed to him or beats someone who received a vacant title themselves? does it even matter if you are the undisputed champion if you have never beaten anyone worth mentioning for your titles?

Well, if you can convince the other "title holders" left at 160 to step in the ring with him then you'll have the answers to your questions. Pretty simple, time to get to work!!!

Jeez man, I knew who this thread was about even before opening it. You are criticizing the wrong guy. How about calling out the champions that would rather vacate than fight him?

What, blame someone other than "lil g", you can do that?

Didn't gg win a vacant wba title. There's three versions of that organization's title lol

He won the WBA interim title and was elevated to regular then super champion without earning either title in the ring.

The IBF "title" was just as laughable. Taylor beat a broken Soliman. Had the title stripped for going crazy. Then Lemieux got the fight after like 5 other boxers passed and he beat the guy Quillin dropped 100 times to win the belt.

Now he's gonna be handed the WBC title.

This fraud's career has been a giant joke.

You're going to have a conniption if GGG is inducted into the hall of fame. All your hard work and dedication will go down the drain.

Just imagine if GGG retired undefeated (like your idol) and undisputed MW Champion, you'll probably stop watching boxing all together.

Hey guess what GGG breaks the record for most knockouts in a championship fight if he beats Wade next month. He'll forever be in the history books.

Geale, Murray and Lemieux were some of the best in his division and he fought them. They aren't superstar names and I agree his resume is lacking that special "wow factor" but he beat the best MWs available at the time. We probably wouldn't be having this conversation if Geale fought GGG like he was supposed to when he was still the WBA super champ and if Murray didn't get robbed against Martinez for the WBC and lineal belt.

I think his career can go very much like Klitchko, who I also rank among the greats despite his lacking of resume.

If you are talking about GGG I think he is great. He doesn't want anything handed to him and would prefer to earn it in the ring. He can't help it if his fellow champions refuse to fight him. I am sure he would be glad to fight Canelo, Saunders and Jacobs one right after another in less than a year's time and beat all of them. He can't put a gun to their heads and make them fight him. I believe he will go down in history as a great fighter. Time will tell.
