If Golovkin retired today, would he be a HOFer?

    but lil g was worried he would get schooled by ward and then no one would care about him fighting canelo....so he tucked his sack in like kate jenner
    He never said that and you know it. Ward was already on his way to 175, and said he would never go down again.

      he did say that...in fact when ward contacted them he had just fought paul smith and weighed 171lbs for that fight at LHW in case he had to go back to 168 for a golovkin fight

      but golovkin tucked his little raisins in

        So Golovkin would have to move up a whole division, but Ward would not?

            oh no!!! the horror! lol

            I already called you on your lie/misinfo...now you're crying about this? lol

            mr "154-168 easy for me" cant move up?

            fact is ward weighed in 171 for the paul smith fight in case golovkin was interested....once he realized golovkin wasn't interested he went to 175 and said he wasn't going back

            I know its tough realizing your hero tucked his tiny sack in to bring up kell brook from two divisions south...lolol

            what a clown

              They don't.
              Jacobs, Saunders, Derevyanchenko, Murata.. hasn't moved up
              Monzon, Hagler, Thil... Didn't move up

              You understand that GGG started his pro career late, right?

                Jacobs is Jacobs...saunder is saunders

                now lets look at a list of guys that have moved...Floyd, cotto, canelo, ward, pac....etc etc....legends and hall of famers....now we can also compile a long list of current fighters who aren't quite legendary but are borderline hall of famers and/or quality fighters

                just stfu u clown...wave your pom poms and stfu

                  hopefully not. eventually you're going to water the hall of fame down so much that you're allowing everybody who made it to TV.

                    but i absolutely love when people cite older fighters who never moved divisions or older guys that got in with their resumes...as if the landscape never changes and we hold all fighters to the same exact standard...these days more guys move divisions than ever....holding hagler and golovkin to the same standard, or benitez, simply isnt rational

                    hey! lets run the USA on the same standards and principals we did 200 years ago!!!
                    Wtf kind of reasoning is this? So monzon and hagler can dominate a single division their entire career and be recognized as atg, But ggg a guy who you have a weird obsession/hatred for isn't allowed because you think everyone should move up because you deem it right?
                    What a great argument you have their, and your logic is foolproof. You hold him to standards that are beyond anyone else

                      yet a disgrace like Andre Ward should get in with his illegal wrestling tactics and home town judges/refs?
