    ATG in what sense?

    ATG overall with every boxer? No.

    ATG middleweight? Maybe, depends. Top 20 middleweight of all time for sure. Might be top 10, even. Is that ATG to you? Then sure. Just depends what you consider ATG middleweight, I suppose.

    HOF? Yes, undoubtedly.

      if we let GGG in then does this automatically mean we let in every other MW to ATG who ever won title and defended it for 3 years and 3 fights?
      Because that means we need to upgrade another 40 MWs alongside GGG, and add another 400 from across all divisions too.

        In his prime, he was avoided. No doubt about it. Don't lie about it.



        Golovkin was a very good fighter.

          GGG’s legacy is he feasted on buns for years but when he stepped up the competition he didn’t look nearly as good.
          Canelo will anoint him with a third ass whipping later this year and then he’ll finish out what’s left of his career with a few more part time fighters like Rolls.

            prime "he was avoided for 10 years"
            "gets beat in 40 minutes" not prime suddenly!

            take a look at yourself!

              Not even close. I put him slightly below Kostya Tszyu level.

                His win over the ATG Gabor Balogh is immense. TBE hands down

                  What are you even saying ?


                  Check yourself weirdo.


                  He beat a prime Canelo and rewatched, Canelo edged him the 2nd.


                  You telling me fighters wanted to fight him during those years ?

                    Not sure about that though since GGG’s chin would have made him dangerous for any opponent. They’ll have to go 12 rounds of exhaustion to beat him since he keeps coming forward even after being hit.
                    He ain’t never been carved up with a legit elite middleweight before..

                    Micheal nunn
                    Bernard Hopkins
                    Gerald McClellan
                    James toney
                    Roy Jones
                    Nigel bean
                    Chris Eubanks
                    Mike mccallum


                    Middleweight use to be stacked, ggg loses and loses badly to most of those guys, toney and Hopkins would legit carve the **** up golovkin and probably stop him.. I know toney would, 100% no doubt, early 90s toney beats the living hell out of ggg. Honestly it’s probab a massacre with toney standing right in front of ggg, rolling with all of ggg’s powershots, and dropping straight up counter BOMBS. Left hook, straight right, body shot, uppercut, toney would have had a field day with ggg.
