Gennady Golovkin Legacy

[DreamFighter]

Everyone is a contender by definition to champions with multiple belts. Being pedantic is of no use.

whats wrong with you? Are you faking being ****** on purpose?

defences against contenders arent superstar fights. SUperstars fights are when the elite boys or above go H2H eg canelo GGG, or .Hagler Hearns

But kell brook jojo dan is not a superstar fight!

Superstar is a tier above a title defence.

koing vanes is not a superstar fight you clown.

So title defenses always includes only one elite fighter and one bum and can never have two elite fighters duking it out? If Canelo-GGG which exceeded a revenue of 100 million is your minimum criteria for a superstar fight, then the world has not seen many superstar fights by your standards.

Okay, so you meant Wikipedia. Not just unnamed wiki.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middleweight&oldid=839510488

But here it says 18.
Right now it says 20.

You do know that Wikipedia isn't a source in and off itself, right?
As you can see in the history section of that everyone is able to edit this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middleweight&action=history

So your 10 hinges on the fact that someone thought it was so.

[stealthradon]

he got the actual title just before the geale fight.

one body cannot award the world title to 2 people..since theres only one world.

There is one europe, not 2 europes.
The is one USA, not 2 USAs.
There is one Britain, not two Britains.

Once you offer evidence that theres more than 1 world, we can accept what you say that there are 2 world titles. please begin your proof now.

Since you already linked to Wikipedia as a source, you should accept this.

I'm not sure if boxers are expected to be gods or something. History looks at context. The only possible dent in GGG's resume is the absence of the Ward fight.

Gennady drug Kell Brook up to 160 instead of CW of 157

Gennady refused CW of 157 with Canelo when Canelo fought at JMW

Gennady retracted Andre Ward challenge after it was accepted

Gennady fought Vanes instead of other available (and willing) champion level opposition (Andrade and Dervenchenko)

Gennady never fought at more than 1 weight class

Gennadys best two performances were controversial. A draw or loss against Danny Jacobs can legitimately be made. A flat out loss to Canelo (instead of the draw) can legitimately be made.

40 professional fights. 5 past/present/future champion opponents and 1 of them was a 147 fighter at 160.

Could go on and on...very average "legacy". Definitely not a cab driver tho since hes beaten so many

You can write like that about most boxers.

GGG will always be remembered as a middleweight champ they fought an average Ww. He has no legacy.
