Man the requirements to be great has really been lowered

I was talking about this yesterday with my friend. What has any of the fighters GGG has fought accomplished?

What's Martin Murray's best win? His loss to Sergio? Same with Macklin, Geale etc. Lemieux had some decent wins over N'Dam and Rosado I suppose. There's no way you can look at his resume and claim he's great right now.

Danny Garcia gets so much crap, but he's fought much better fighters than GGG.

The fighters that refuse to fight him (Canelo, Martinez, Froch etc) already took an L from GGG.

Its hard to argue against GGG being a top fighter, but with his resume it feels incorrect to say he's great. Then again there are plenty of fighters in divisions with no real opponents who just have long reigns who are considered great. And if we assume that Canelo is really a Caneloweight fighter than who exactly is GGG supposed to build his resume up by fighting? Its an unfair demand of him. So basically I can understand the side that says GGG is great, but he just doesn't feel great to me yet.

Golovkin is a great fighter you can tell that by watching his fights but he wasnt tested yet.
There are still boxers that want to fight him but his promoter dont want them fights to happen

He had a chance to be great. He passed.

FACTS only!

He's (arguably) the best Kazakh boxer in history. Not saying much but its saying something.

Golovkin is already GREAT
