Can GGG be an ATG without ever facing a 1st ballot hall of fame fighter?

[Godsfly]

lol. no.. come on now. An ATG w/ that resume? He's got a lot of work to do. Needs to start collecting some legit scalps. Getting that nod over Jacobs was a good start, even at 35 years of age

i think the jacobs fight did more harm then good......so many think jacobs snipped that. people are devided all over the place. and it seems golovkins confidence is way low from the fight.


in short he wouldn't be able to do anything with hagler, middleweight hearns, hopkins, monzon, jones jr, toney, so on so fourth. just can't see it.....



i honestly think michael nunn would box golovkins ears right off let alone ATG's

[Godsfly]

Floyd became an ATG without fighting a single ¨1st ballot HOFer¨ in his prime, so why not

dude.......u guys are trying to say golovkin is HOF if he beats canelo. the canelo that mayweather 12 zipped? along with all of mayweathers other accomplishments?


first things first. golovkin doesn't do HOF moves. he was suppose to give jacobs a straight away rematch. they want 5 fights in the future LOL he was suppose to unfy against a weak opponent in saunders. golovkin refuses.....those aren't HOF actions. screw what ever else u want to say.

Beating Canelo certainly helps. If GGG keeps beating every ranked contender in front of him in the upcoming years, he'll be considered a HOFer and ATG even if he never fights anyone considered ¨elite¨

Finito Lopez is considered the GOAT of his weight class out of sheer dominance, even if he never beat a HOFer. Something similar could happen with GGG if the big names keep ducking him

[Tomjas]

Jeff Fenech never beat a HOFer (although he was robbed against Nelson) and I am sure that there are plenty of others

[Teetotaler]

Why make threads like these then when someone posts a solid argument you ignore them and cherry pick a dumbass poster with no point (which is also like you)?

[Raonic]

GGG will be a 1st ballot HOF himself when he retires even if he retires without facing a 1st ballot HOFer. So yes, he would be an ATG.

[TOBYLEE1]

With his resume as it is now he won't. Only his fans boys will say that he currently should be. They will go away as soon as he loses or he retires.

Triple G has a few fights he has to win to qualify as a first ballot HOF

[Raonic]

Worst people than GGG have made the HOF and we don't exactly have geniuses voting. There's little doubt he would be a legit contender for 1st ballot.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

He's had a hell of a run at 160, but the division hasn't been spectacular. I'd say wins over Canelo, maybe Charlo, Eubank, Jr. and a few other big names. I mean, his amateur background plays a part as well. But it will be tough.

Notice how you tried to slide in "PRIME" GGG hasnt even faced a past prime hall of fame worthy fighter..try harder
