Can GGG ever surpass Floyd Mayweather on an ATG list?

[therealpugilist]

Just checked boxrec, GGG has only beat 3 current or former world champions.

pretty pathetic when you're so called top 3 p4p

Broner has fought more champions

Danny Garcia has fought like 3x the titleholders

Amir Khan has too...he is 11-3

even Thurman has defeated 6

Porter is 4-2 vs former/current titleholders


GGG wont get anywhere near my top ten p4p until he takes some risks or defeats a few top middleweights


excuse time is over...its been 3 years and its not that much ducking in the world....K2 cant expect to pay name fighters what they pay no name mandatories.

I bet he's devastated..

Floyd moved from 130 to 140 because he couldn't make 130 anymore!
You do grow out of weight classes when you start young!
I regard his talents higher at 140 than 147, as a welter in boxing history he gets beaten up by the greats.
If people think Maidana did good against him in their first fight imagine what Basilio could do? Basilio is Maidana but does everything better than Maidana did.

GGG is a natural 160 pounder, at 5'9-10" he is a normal sized middleweight.
All the talk about moving up is a hype job during these times where 135 to 154 pound fighters are all inter-changeable because their all 5'7-8".

Why does it matter if Mayweather moved up or GGG doesn't just enjoy what they do and stop playing matchmaker hell no one on this forum has spent a day in the sport and the whole site is "Fantasy Boxing"

Check out Canzaneri or Armstrong those guys held 3 titles at the "same time"!

of course he'd get whooped by guys who are naturally bigger...thats like saying leonard gets beat up by the greats at 160...of course, he isnt a natural middleweight

height has very little to do with size and mass.....otherwise Hearns wouldve been the GOAT between 147-160...he took all his loses by ko to shorter guys

Mayweather was weighing in at 138 on fight night for his lightweight fights, whereas JMM and Pac were weighing that and in the 140s fight night for fights at 130.....Mayweathers best division was 140...he filled out, still had the skills, athleticism, was experienced and still maintained some power

the money was at the glamour division, 147.....mayweather was never a great welterweight, he was a great fighter who could compete at ww because of his skills.

bro...Mayweather is not some black highlander...he ages just like everyone else

Maidana is a good fighter but why bring up welterweight career and just discuss fights where he is in his late 30s?

I bet he's devastated..

you seem to be bwahahahahaha....protect and defend.....3 titlists in 35 fights is pathetic....top 3 p4p doe

[1g5a22]

3 titlists in 35 fights is pathetic....top 3 p4p doe

Titlists? How many did Hopkins & Hagler beat in 35 fights?

Titlists? How many did Hopkins & Hagler beat in 35 fights?

thurman fought in one division so your point....keep it current bro...he still has faced more titlists and champions and is no where near anyone's p4p....let alone top 3


Hopkins fought in a crappy era too....was no where near anyones p4p list in 1997...he was 3-1 and only lost to Roy Jones. He defeated John David Jackson, Glen Johnson, and Lupe Aquino

Hagler didnt get a title shot until his 50th fight....he was avoided like people say GGG is....he also wasnt being hyped or paraded around like the most feared, killer, are top 3 p4p...that was in the 70s man, stay up to date...boxing was alot different then...only had the wba, and wbc....ibf came later in his career. All of his big fights came as champion

Titlists? How many did Hopkins & Hagler beat in 35 fights?

next time do your own research


compared to his contemparies and other top 3 p4p guys over the last 15 years...GGG literally has the thinnest resume

find someone who has a thinner one and holla at me

[MASTERBX]

He not skilled enough. His fans know it, HBO knows it and more importantly he knows it.
Ten years in boxing with that resume is not by happenstance that is intentional.

owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[therealpugilist]

owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont see why the guy even bothers to quote my posts...I end up schooling him on a daily '

you can tell he doesn't follow anyone besides his favorite fighters.


Gotta know the history of the sport before you anoint these guys today as something that they havent proven they are....which is being great

Hopkins and Hagler earned every title, were not booleyhooed or hyped. tHEY TOOK RISKS. They had to beat stars to become stars, they had to concede before they were A=side guys...GGG has to earn it otherwise he will never be what they are considered...ALL TIME GREATS.
