    No, and neither would Ward, Froch, or Kessler.

    He could be, if Ward, Froch, Chavez Jr, Cotto, Floyd and Quillin wouldn't have ducked him since 2012. Right now, not. Based on his skills? Yes, of course.

    No. I have mentioned this in another thread. Every thread I take sides against GGG.

    Let me get this straight in this thread. I am not anti GGG. I like what I see. He has huge potential. And he is knocking guys out spectacular left and right.

    Just with him having so many unrealistic fan boys, got to say it.

    I am very aware this is an anti GGG thread.

    What I posted is: The thread starter is using an argument I made in another thread as the thread title.

    So I went on to explain that me myself am starting to begin to be a bit of a GGG fan.

    But to claim things like "We as GGG fans" like its some sort of cult man really I feel like taking a counter position.

    GGG he is very likeable, he reminds me of your little brother or the guy you were cool with in highschool.

    He is good, he got skill, he got power, he has a high KO ratio, and he fights all comers. He is on his way of cleaning out the division.

    I think he should fight Cotto next. Let Cotto be A side and give him 70/30 split in MSG if he wants. Just to get the exposure. It would be like Hagler fighting Duran in a way. It would be good for his public exposure. Him and Cotto both got charisma and it could do well on PPV.

    But to claim he is all time great or this indestructible monster. Time still has to tell.

    I love the guy but he is yet to prove himself as a true champion.

    Golovkin has a lot of decent names on his resume.
    Stevens
    Rosado
    Proksa
    Fuchigami
    Simon

    But he has only faced 4* legitimate top 10 fighters.
    Macklin
    Geale
    Rubio
    Murray*
