Except he's a long way off.

Go for it GGG! Do not pay attention to the mad dogs.

Go for it GGG! Do not pay attention to the mad dogs. They know how to bark only, and run when they find their match.

The record books will show otherwise, regardless of how ridiculous it may be. Golovkin's a beneficiary of the absurd multiplication of titles by the WBA, and their standards do deserve question. I fall on the side of those who say it that only one titlist should be counted by each org, but I do also think that if you're going to overule the WBA on counting GGG as a titlist from 2010 onwards it's also legitimate to question why Sturm was elevated for no obvious reason when Golovkin was his mando.

...are all good fights for me.
Even if some fights are not done he still has full 3 to 4 busy years in MW.

Problem is nobody on that list is willing to fight him. Unfortunately his only option is to move up or retire.

Yeh get 30 defences and be best middleweight of all time

Hopkins isn't the best middleweight of all time so that's not how it works Hughie my boy.

Yes but that's mainly cos bh lost to rjj, Wright, taylor type guys and beat a lot of chumps. And didn't ko everyone like ggg does.
Can't compare the two really. Ggg is seen as more of a phenomenon at 160. By was underdog against Trinidad so people underestimated what bh was all about. Good that by redeemed himself after that.

Yep, it's official. He is not changing weight classes at all in this career of boxing. It went from belts, to defenses, and something else will emerge after that.

This, guy has been all talk, no action. I think he should rematch Wade, or maybe Rubio!

The Sturm situation is whatever. Jacobs isn't the champion now, so GGG wasn't then either.

Shut up...
