    GGG will break the middleweight record tonight, is he the greatest middleweight ever?

    Where does ggg rank in terms of all time middleweights?

    He’s going to break the record for most successful Middleweight title defences of all time tonight with a huge 21.

    But he did lose both times to the best of his era Canelo.

    Where do you rank him

    I'd put him in top 100 middleweights maybe.

      Neither he lost to Alvarez both fights nor it is sure he'll break the record.

        WBA regular doesn't count as a title though so B-hops records intact & Bhop didn't lose along the way.

          GGG is a handful for any MW, all around quality, has big power with a granite chin, determined to win and always brings it, Gennady is a true professional.

            345-5 amateur record, Olympic silver medal, 6 junior amateur championships, 40-1 as a pro only loss at age 35 to arguably the current top p4p fighter. Never been knocked down as an amateur or pro.

            Doesn’t talk ****, doesn’t have a criminal history, no entourage...probably top 15 middleweight all time.

            Obviously he’s no Ray Robinson or Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler or Bernard Hopkins...hell he’s not even a James Toney or Roy Jones but he is an awesome boxer.
            Every thread on this casual packed forum is on him and how his credentials are meaningless. Cuz, u know, going 345-5 in amateur boxing is easy, Olympic medals are easy, and not losing ur first pro fight until you were 35 against the top p4p fighter by razor close/controversial fashion means nothing to casuals on boxingscene.

                Top 10 all-time MW definitely. He's been the best MW of his generation.

                    GGG was robbed in both Canelo fights, but still managed a draw.
