Examples of "all time greats" exposed worse than GGG

Golovkin is a 35 year old pro fighter, and the first time in his entire pro career that he's put in the ring with a full-sized middleweight with legit boxing ability, he sc****s by the fight on the edge of his seat.

Roy Jones Jr was 34 years old when he went up to heavyweight to beat John Ruiz, after twelve defenses of his light heavy title, made the mistake of tearing off the extra muscle too quickly, and still had enough ability to knock off a top fighter just coming into form.

Golovkin has arguably one of the ****tiest fight resumes of a possible HOF fighter.

Please tell me you didn't just say Jacobs was his first real test.

If he was American or a few shades darker, he'd be rating Martin Murray the same way Ward fans rate Carl Froch.

Yep cause it has nothing to do with the fact Martin Murray lost all of his big fights and never beat anyone worth a damn

All the fighters that you've tried to parallel to Golovkin were all known and proven commodities by the time they were 35 years old.

Marvin Hagler, after dropping those two fights early, would become the middleweight champion within three years, make 14 successful defenses of the championship and almost beat Ray Leonard for his 15th defense.

Carlos Monzon did lose 3 of his first 20 fights (5 draws in his first 30 fights), but you've deliberately ignored the fact that Monzon made 15 defenses of the middleweight championship and was unbeaten for the 30 fights following his last draw (went 71-0-9 from his final defeat).

James Toney was 66-4-2 by the time he was 35, but he'd been 160lb world champion, 168lb world champion, won a regional light heavyweight title, cruiserweight world champion, and was a few months removed from winning a regional heavy title.

Felix Trinidad made 16 defenses of his welterweight world title, won a 154lb world title, only ran into issue when he was fighting well over his head at middleweight.

Golovkin is 35 years old, and has just had his first legitimate fight (two if you want to count Kell Brook)

They all lost and or got exposed to WORSE OPPOSITION THAN DANNY JACOBS. You're naming accomplishments of those fighters. Big deal. GGG is about break hopkins record and become undisputed. Translation. It's okay for the old timers to lose and exposed to bums but not ggg. I got it.

[HeadShots]

Only issue is all the fighters you listed fought at a much higher level then GGG..at 35 Jacobs is literally his best win man..That is the only knock on GGG Jacobs was the best fight he faced and look how bad he struggled..

the losses and draws he listed were to absolute bums for the most part.


do you know how to read?

Elton John looked at this thread then looked in the mirror and said I've never seen anything that fucking gay in my life.

But but but but our master Floyd said GGG is just basic up and down and easy work so he have to follow orders and hate on him! We rather protect and cherish all the fighters that are ducking GGG and make it sound like todays fighters around MW are all trash yet the old fighters we saw a couple terrible quality highlight clips on YUTUB were soooo much better doe!

Hahahahaha.

[Jubei]

The biggest joke of this thread they claim GGG got exposed by CLEARLY winning a UD.

The same way Floyd, BHop, Ward and many other US american heroes were winning most of their career.

By these dummy logic the US fighters were all UTTER TRASH.

Is Triple L even a HOF fighter? He's far from an ATG and it's been HIMSELF to blame for that so far.

Called out Ward, renig'd on callout, ducked Ward. Called out Canelo, refused weight compromise (same thing HE REQUIRED Ward to do), passed up career high payday, still ducking to this day.

He's had the opportunities to fight these guys, but his best wins are against #3 P4P fighter welterweight Kell Brook and #2 P4P Danny Jacobs. Not the best resume

I wouldn't put him anywhere near in, but boxing politics are what they are; K2 has maneuvered him through enough defenses, his angle is the type of stuff that a lot of these boxing writers jizz themselves over, HBO is backing him, etc.

Kell Brook is a really good fighter; he's in the top 3 fighters at his weight, and he's arguably in the top 20 fighters p4p. Daniel Jacobs is a really good fighter; he's clearly the #2 fighter at middleweight, and in the top 50 of fighters p4p (how high on that list can be argued).

Beyond those two, Golovkin will have fought not a single fighter who has a chance to be remember in even five years times
