    GGG will lose

    GGG will lose, no one with his style ever won indefinitely and retired undefeated. So enjoy his style and fights while they last... his publicity and level of entertainment help the sport of boxing. especially when he moves up in weight...

        He probably will. It's just a question of when?


        We don't know his thoughts on retirement. Is he retiring in a year or two? Is he retiring at 40? Is he pulling a Roy on us and going to keep fighting even when he's really old and shot?

          Way to go out on a limb with that prediction. 99.99999% of fighters lose in their career.

            No he won't. Remember he only shows this style because no one at his weight is on his level. He is a different beast. Both him and his coach have confirmed that he will indeed need to change his style a bit when he moves up or whenever its required. In the first part of the fight against Lemule he showed that he can box in addition to his huge amateur background he can be a Ward/Mayweather type when its required and I believe him.
            As he said, currently he doesnt need to box his opponent's ears off when he can knock them out.

              I disagree. I think he's being handled in a way that keeps him away from matches in which he might lose. As a fight fan, I am highly critical of that. As a businessman, I totally understand and would likely do the same if I were managing him. I don't think he's going to be put in a losing situation any time soon and will retire in 2 years, at 36. He can save up a lot of scratch between now and then, if he hasn't already.

                i don't know about that, his at this time is too aggressive, eventually something will have to give. But like some other poster said if he changes his style when he does fight stronger opposition then he might go undefeated for ever or at least as long as he retires before he shows considerable decline. Either way i can't recall many fighters who were this aggressive and stayed undefeated their entire careers.

                  Who cares?

                  I can't think of an undefeated (& retired) fighter in history I have much respect for. All of their records were full of asterisks and convenience.

                  The best fighters all had plenty of losses.
