I agree he didn't appear to be any Boogeyman when he actually fought good opposition

Most overated fighter of this era . Fought bums all the way . Was trying to fight the smaller weaker cotto a ,he was willing to fight against Chavez and froch at 168 but wanted a catchwreight of 164 against ward . Ward didn't wait around for GGG he moved up to 175 for a fight against Kovalev ward took risks . GGG called out Canelo and waits for Canelo,Canelo is the one who steps to middleweight once again another fighter who actually takes risks . As soon as the middleweight division is filled with good fighters GGG's only focus is Canelo and always has been. He gives up his belt ibf to avoid his dangerous mandatory in derevyanchenko to fight Canelo he goes ask for "Mexican style " and gets backed up by the smaller man dosent do mexican style . He comes back signs with dazn says he wants to fight the best the best and says he would still fight Canelo if Canelo loses the Jacobs once again still after Canelo he is obsessed with Canelo his entire career revolves around him . In his next few fights he is just gonna bum bash his next 4 four fights . He is rates #2 best middleweight by espn he is the most overated fighter of this generation. Never moved up will always obsess with Canelo . Even in his grave he will be obsessed with Canelo. Best record( one controversial draw one controversial loss both against canelo another controversial win against Danny Jacobs (refuses to rematch) best name and officall win David Lemieux or Kell Brook . So get mad if you want or don't . He never took risks was never about it .(154-168) never happened ducked Lara ,Andrade ,Ward,Charlo ,Derevy Derevyancheno, most overated boxer of this generation. Was never about 154-168 was never about that Mexican style either

Dude how about quit making bashing threads and talk about up coming fights or something. I am not a GGG fan either, but there sure are alot of guys on here making threads about Wilder, Joshua, Fury, Canelo, Charlo the big one, GGG, Mayweather, Pacquaio etc. Judging them etc. You all l do realize all these guys could kick any of our ***es, dont you all. ?

A fighter that overrated when have been convincingly defeated by now. A guy that's over 35 years old and still competing at that high of a level against guys that are that much his junior says otherwise to me. It's unfortunate his level stepped up when he got to an age where most athletes are retired or are a performing at a level different from late 20s to early 30s.

he's so overrated that there's a weekly hate thread about the guy even though he hasn't even been in front of a camera in six months

Knocking people down is considered the holy grail, not outpointing people. If you try make a case for Wilder doing so well on the basis of only knocking fury down? Wilder didn't even knock fury out, only knocked him down. GGG knocked people out, so that's even better than knocking someone down. GGG would have koed all of Nelos oppoenents, even if he didn't ko Nelo. He would have koed all of Jacobs opponents even if he didn't ko Jacobs.

So GGG isn't overated. Why aren't his kos, better than your points wins?

This proves why gay fans exist for GGG. How you compare Wilder with the variance for Heavyweight sizes to GGG is ******ed.

I thought El Phag was gay, but some diehard GGG fans go to classical gayness beyond the time of Jesus to assure he did no wrong doing !

He's one of the most obsessed over fighters from his fans to his haters. It's bizarre. I think both sides are wrong on him. He's not the messiah and one of the best ever but he's not a bum and a coward. He's been a very good fighter, mostly avoided during his prime and still competitive (IMO and most other neutral opinions he's unbeaten) at an advanced age points to him being good at least in his prime.

The idea that he "refuses" to re-match Jacobs is a strange one that the OP suggested. The Canelo fight was always going to be the one and it was the immediate fight after Jacobs and then a re-match was signed, which Canelo cheated so it got postponed and then by the time the re-match happened Canelo was fighting Jacobs, which Jacobs obviously wasn't going to turn down so I am confused on when the re-match should have happened.
