Gennady Golovkin Legacy

[Citizen Koba]

but given that you are sure there are two planet Earths, then we all know what we can do with your surety.

You see me say there were two earths, man? You see anyone saying that? Maybe you can find a quote. You keep repeating that phrase over and over again like it has some meaning in this context and is the killer blow that makes your way of totting up title defenses superior to all the others.

It doesn't. It just makes you sound silly.

Anyway. You said 'we can all agree' as if you believe that most people agree with your proposition. All I'm doing is suggesting we put that to the test. You game?

--- Highest regard for both Gennady and Canelo, but at the end of the day, Gennady blinked first over a few ninnygrams of a substance in the Mexican food chain.

He lost out on at least $20 million payday and had to come crawling back to Golden Boy after his diva snitfit with all the bad things said about Canelo, except now for this fight, the playing field has evened up with Canelo now having access to BALCO VADA Vic's drugcheat vitamins same as Golovkin...Can't make this stuff up boys...you and VADA and Vic and Vegas ruining boxing...only in boxing!

[stealthradon]

why does it not matter that there is only one planet Earth? surely thats pretty important to all life on earth. except you apparently,.

Your opinion and argument is entirely moot because every single fúcking boxing organisation recognize the two belts from WBA.
Nothing you think can change that.

Those are the rules of boxing.

I know you think you are trying to prove a point by trolling or just being ******ed, but that is just what you are, ******ed.

This thread is about legacy and you suggest income is relevant??

Do you consider JCC Jr. ATG than??

Fucking immigrant. I hope US locks you in concentration camp and throws away the key

Jokes on you, I don't even live in the U.S This forum contains some of the dumbest dudes I have seen. Implying that GGG has no legacy is being dishonest to yourself. His income is absolutely related to the work he has put into MW division, slowly building up his resume and finally getting the marquee fights. JCCC jr has failed every test and big challenge that he has faced. He had many opportunities to make his father's legacy and his own nationality work his way. His potential earning was surely over the roof but he has failed to materialize it and that too is correlated to his failing legacy.

Suggesting that either of Loma and Crawford is even close to GGG's level of their career is laughable. Crawford specially, has completely failed in establishing a fanbase. End of the day, a star boxer like GGG will be remembered. Larry from Alabama's opinion matters not. You may look at it in a way where he has fought very few champions but others have a different perspective and realize that he shook, reignited and ruled an og division like middleweight. One's legacy is judged and legitimized by the masses because determining how difficult the challenges he faced will always be subjective.

With 3-4 wins more against top competition he can be the Greatest middleweight of all time. He might not have the resume of Monzon but his boxing style and level of dominance make up for it

even the WBA thinks its a bad idea and want to change it back to what it is for everyone else.

Nothing you think can change that.

shame the WBA are changing it back. shame 4 u that is.

Those are the rules of boxing.

nothing to do with rules of boxing

yeh you said there are two world belts from the wba, so proof there are two worlds.

oh you havent ok.

[Madison Boxing]

not an amazing resume as things stand but with a good performance against canelo in the rematch and a win against saunders it could look very solid. he might be able to knock out charlo as a stay busy fight in between too.

If he did all that he'd have a case at being in the top 10 in middleweight history. As of now he's probably between 15-20 on that list.

Here's two words for you, man.

Dumb. Ass.

I've never advocated counting two titles from one sanctioning org simultaneously. My rules are simple: you count the world title as the premier title unless there is an incumbent Super champion, in which case he/she is the fighter regarded as champion.

Can you explain your set of rules in a simple sentence? Best I can tell yours goes something like: You count the Super title sometimes and other times you count the World title, but not if your name starts with G and you come from Kazakhstan. Have I got that about right?

You ready to put this ish to the poll yet? You seem quite convinced you're putting up a strong argument here - shall we see what everyone else thinks?
