The only thing people will remember 30 years from now between Canelo and GGG will be.

[GGG Gloveking]

WOULD YOU **** OSCAR FOR 10 MILLION?

For $10M, Id even give him a reach around

[SN!PER]

The fight's gonna happen.

We just have to wait til 2020.

Loeffler may not be able to make deals but he's winning the PR war. The casual observer doesn't understand why Canelo needed to defend the 160 belt at 155 and doesn't understand why he gave up his belt. It's a bad look.

Golovkin will be remembered 30 years from now?

[eco1]

he never left 154 he won the belt at a catchweight and had no intentions of going to 160 yet so gave up the belt but still offered ggg a fight a catchweight if he really wants to fight but ggg denied it, now canelo offering him his biggiest payday at the fullweight 160 and ggg still denying to sign the fight. FACTS.

Why are you delusional?
Do u feel:

Irritable,in a low mood maybe a bit angry?
Are u seeing, hearing, or feeling things?

You know, voices, aliens?

Casual observer dont know that Canelo droped the belt.

If Golovkin doesn't land this, it's unlikely people will be talking about this or him in 30 years because he's not going up in weight and there's no one on his resume that anyone will be talking about in 30 years.
That's not bashing, just being honest about the fact that if it doesn't happen, no one will be talking about it in 30 years. He needs to establish a legacy now if he's going to do it.

I think you are wrong about nobody talking about GGG in 30 years. The guy has about 17 straight KOs and about 15 successful world title defenses all by KO. Anybody who does that will always be remembered even if he only beat average contenders. It doesn't make a bit of difference if he moves up or not. On the contrary if he moves up and fighting naturally bigger men costs him a fight it will hurt his legacy. All he needs to do is keep on winning and knocking people. If he won't be remembered then nobody fighting today will be remembered. I visit this board a couple of times a day every day. I know GGG is talked about 5 or 10 times more than any other boxer. It may be mostly haters trashing him and saying how ****ty his resume is be it's still GGG you all are talking about.

I've really given that sort of thing a lot of thought and it seems that, in boxing, no matter how many guys you KO you will not be remembered if you don't share the ring with at least one or two big names. I even made a thread asking people to name a boxer who had a Golovkin-like resume (dominant but no names) and I got one good name given. Everyone else had nada.

I'm not taking anything away from how dominant Golovkin has been or what he's capable of but it seems that boxing history is unkind to those who don't share the ring with big names, even if they are past-prime ones.

[FeFist]

30 years from now Golovkin won't be remembered.

As long as they fight a year or two from now I think few f#cks will be given about all the dodging GGG **** if Canelo wins. And if GGG wins there will be more luster in the story with some tales of Canelo and others avoiding him, but ultimately the result will be the story as it almost always is.

If they never fight and GGG loses to some random cat or even a top 5ish opponent plus still has a resume similar to his resume now he'll be on some Dariuisz Michalczewski kinda level historical although a lil higher probably. If he goes undefeated I'm curious how the story will go and what the top 3 or so opponent's on his resume would end up being as that will largely define his historic standing for the boxing nerds...but I seriously doubt that happens anyway.
