If GGG gets beat by Jacobs does it discredit everything he has ever done?

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Why would it?

Jacobs hasn't lost to anyone but Pirog. It doesn't mean anything. For all we know, Jacobs could end up beating the **** out of everyone at 160 and 168.

[Elroy The Great]

no. 3g did indeed beat up all of those bums. cant ever take that away.

GGG is a disgrace to boxing win, lose or draw. No ambition, no drive, no guts, no honour...he makes wanna ****ing puke.

[Mr.Fantastic]

It shouldn't but people are going to do it anyways because he called Mayweather out.

[LetOutTheCage]

His defenses are already done, they're in the record books in what ever place he's in at MW. Yes if he loses to Jacobs that will look bad, just like anyone who loses to someone they should've beaten. I don't see Jacobs winning, he's too chinny and the fight that has people a little bit hyped of Jacobs is the Quillin fight and we all know Quilin was ridiculued as a paper champ who never fought anyone of note (like GGG). Maybe Jacobs exposes another guy with a weak resume but I doubt it, GGG is legit, he's the only MW with an Olympic medal and he has something like 300+ wins and 5 losses, so he is a legit fighter in a weight class with no one near his success as an amatuer or a pro. Jacobs is in big trouble here, not GGG, he could take a punch. If Jacobs wins though, you can say goodbye to the hype because although Jacobs is a step-up he's not all that anyway, already been KO'ed.

Pretty much agree with the above.

Yes, but that's ignoring the fact that the HBO spin machine is invested in Golovkin

If he loses to Jacobs people will say the only time he fought a competent world class Middleweight he lost
All his 20+ defences wouldnt mean a damn thing, its not how many you beat its about when you step up do you actually deliver.

I feel unlike a lot of fighters who lose if GGG loses now, it will really really stain his career and wouldnt even be considered for the HOF.

He could be known as the guy who fooled the public for as long as he possibly could

If Jacobs boxes the **** out of Golovkin and stops him early, air gets let out of the balloon for a bit, with eyes going to now look back on the record.

Went to war with a faded Kassim Ouma, had a good scrap with Gabriel Rosado debuting at 160lbs, going 11 rounds with durable "almost man" Matthew Macklin, Kell Brook being his best opponent even though he was coming up to weight classes, etc.

The amount of hype that went into building Golovkin up would be made flatly clear, with the reactions to that being what they are.

If Jacobs and Golovkin end up having a back-and-forth 12 round war, where Jacobs closes strong down the stretch for an 8-4 or 7-5 win (or a stoppage in the championship rounds of the fight), Golovkin's legacy moves on without too much damage (Golovkin would've shown that his skills were top world-level, though not at that pinacle)

maybe but it would certainly disprove ATG, P4P, would beat Hagler/Robinson/Monzon garbage the g string ball gaggers post on here day after day.

I don't think I've seen posts lie that.
