Golovkin to Become the Rightful Successor of Floyd

Wlad was knocked out 3 times, also has extensive amateur backround, and is almost 40, and completely dominating the HW scene

of course, both Wlad and GGG are light years ahead of the rest in their weight class, but all the same, GGG has a few good years ahead of him, to say the least

 

Yep, completely agree.

 

Yes he its the best! Look how great its his record and he is so young!:rofl

 

Crawford, Canelo, & Wilder have the best chance to me. Canelo & Crawford can beat most around there divisions and Wilder really only has Wlad to get through.

 

Lol lol lol lol thread

 

The rightful heir is Kell Brook.

 

It's going to be canelo. His fight style is pleasing to watch, he says the right things all the time, he's charming, women love him as was evident Saturday, he already has two of the largest boxing Markets cheering him, and who doesn't appreciate a fighter who fights for the fans and fights the best.

 

True, but they're both dreamy and that's what really matters.

:gayfight

 

Alvarez is the best candidate.

Thurman and Crawford will become very important.

Ward, GGG, and Kovalev will be right up there as well.

But in terms of longevity, it's got to be Alvarez. Thurman and Crawford will do alright if they keep winning.

 

Canelo is taking over May 5th weekend and Sept. 15th Weekend, boxing's biggest dates since Oscar De La Hoya made those his.

If Canelo beats Cotto he further cements his legitimacy as a true elite. If he continues to succeed and seek to fight the best, having a loss here and there should not affect his mainstream appeal. It didn't affect De La Hoya's or Pacquiao's.

Mayweather had a unique case because his entire marketing persona had more to do with him being Undefeated and being a complete ass about it. Mayweather with a loss has no viewers, but fighters like Canelo, De La Hoya, Pacquiao can have losses since they take big chances and make exciting fights.
