Pretty much. What a silly statement by Campbell but real boxing fans know better.

my trainer used to say. I've seen hundreds of guys look like a future champion work the bags and the mitts. Look like world beaters vs overmatched opponents. Its when you step in the ring that shows a fighters worth, and you're only as good as your opposition.

Based of that statement alone GGG probably doesnt make top 50....we had so many great fighters, talented fighters who accomplished a lot
