    Would GGG be accepted as record holder at 51-0 if he fought more bums?

    Let's say GGG wins this fight then continues his career fighting bums because no fighter wants to get in the ring with him, would he be considered the GOAT if he retired at 51-0 or better?

    Do you consider Mayweather the GOAT?

    Who you fought is more important. So no he wouldn't be GOAT.

      The division is getting tougher, he is getting older. He couldn't make 51-0.

        What record are you talking about? If you're talking about Marciano's "record," Robinson smashed that years ago.

          His streak would be as meaningless as Marciano's

            Marciano has Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles on his resume and was a unified champion and it was meaningless? Yeah, fair enough.

                    Joe Louis was damn near 40 when he fought Rocky. Marciano only fought old guys and cans. And I've read that most of his fights were fixed by the Mafia anyway.
