Who's the Greater Fighter: GGG or Evander Holyfield?

[R-C]

Watch the usual dorks that criticize Canelo and defend GGG, pick GGG because supposedly has unbeaten record and has “20 successful defense titles “ with a JR title

[boliodogs]

Both great but GGG never had a loss or a draw until he was 36. Nobody could beat him in his prime.

One of the most overrated hype job cherry picker bum beaters EVER! VS a legit ATG PED cheat. I give it to Holyfield with ease. GGG is a bum compared to Evander.

I was gonna say it's Holyfield easily.. but it's closer than I think. Still Holyfield though, by a margin.

The biggest difference is due to the eras they fought in. Today, it's very difficult to build a resume due to boxing politics. Holyfield fought a lot of big names, lose some, win some. That gives him a huge edge in the resume department. With Golovkin, it will always be a "what if" question. He has two extremely close fights against the unarguably Top3 fighter of today's era, and he was almost a decade older. If Golovkin got exposure 2-3 years earlier, his career would have been very different even if he lost a couple on the way.

No fighter today has a 'great' resume (not counting Pac). Hell, only a few fighters even have a 'good' resume - Canelo, Fury, Ward, Loma.. and that's about it.

Evander "Evan Fields" took steroids.

GGG takes the cake.

The steroids thing is definitely a factor to some people and I can’t even be mad off that reasoning alone no matter how much I like Holyfield.

However, GGG technically lost his biggest fight.

I wouldn’t argue against someone saying GGG is a better MW in the grand scheme of MW than Holyfield was a HW...but then you can’t ignore CW...or the roids for that matter.

This is almost a trolly thread that upon further review is actually not that cut and dry imo when you take the fame and sheer spectacle of HW for those couple years.

P4p GGG may very well be the better fighter...but p4p isnt a thing at HW and that’s what made Evander Evander. He didnt NEED to be the same size. What a weird thing the more you think about it and try to remove the bias we tend to have for Holyfield

Anyone who would say Gennady Golovkin should turn off from Boxing. It ain't for you.

[Lomasexual]

Holyfield. Easily.

This topic just seems to be a way to hate on GGG. I don't know what motivates this kind of thing?

[Citizen Koba]

I'm assuming this is some kinda trolling, but even the most ardent of Golovkin fans - and I'm a big admirer - has to acknowledge that Evander accomplished far, far more.

Terms of P4P and skill - the eye test - harder to say, I don't think you can make any meaningful comparison.

If you did this poll on youtube a few years ago it would be alot closer.

That being said if you vote GGG the mods should give you a lifeban

Yea I'm glad u brought it up. I also have no problem with dudes feeling like his PED use tainted his career.

But still yet how can you sleep at night....as a boxing fan picking GGG over Evander
