    There aren't enough good fighters at 154, 160, 168, 175 for Golovkin to beat a legacy like Pacquiao's. That's assuming that all of these fights could be made.

    I wish Golovkin fought Ward, Lara, Charlo bros, catchweight with Froch, Canelo, catchweight with Kovalev, Jacobs, Saunders, Dirrell, C. Molina. Even if he could get these guys to stop ducking, and even if he steamrolled them he still might not touch a legacy like Pacquiao's.

    His road to becoming a legend would be to come down to 155 and ko Canelo (I assume if Golovkin agreed some other roadblock would come up thought), then win titles at 154, 168, and 175.

    I'm a big fan of Golovkin and he honestly looks unbeatable. The only fighters that I think could beat him are either bigger than him or are too afraid to even fight him. I think the only fighters that have a chance are Ward, Kovalev, and for some reason I think Jermall Charlo could at least be competitive.

          His dad is pure Russian. You could also say he is one of the best boxers Russia has produced..with that logic. He also looked a bit more russian...

            Khaosai Galaxy deserves an honorable mention.

                It is way too early to put him ahead of Pacquiao. The Pacman is the first Asian boxing superstar and it will be very hard to Golovkin to go over his accomplishments. Just because he is at the end doesn't mean Pac was not at one time, the man in boxing.

                    Pacman pacquiao is the greatest orient fighter to ever lace them up its not even close, no other oriental or china man can compare with his accomplishments.

                    Even that dude named donnie nietes should rank higher than ggg at this point.

                      Uh Pacman?

                      Donaire is a greater fighter too (gets mistaken for being American but born in Philippines). I'm a big GGG fan, but seriously? This thread is a joke.
