    To become an ATG, you definitely require an ATG fight against a potentially great opponent.
    Canelo-Golovkin is a good fight, but not as great as Ward-Kovalev and definitely not a P4P awarding fight.
    Seems all other paths are closed.
    Discuss.

    you have to dare to be great

    gstring could have had bunch of chips in his belt. atg-bho hof-froch good fighters lara , ward, degale

    Then with that resume and pedegree, when you fight clownelo , oh hell yeah the fans are clamoring and you have your 100million fight.

    but as it stands honest fans know this is nothing but a tomato can king. Sad really and truly it is.

    Ward v Kovalev is huge only for Ward. For Kovalev Ward is just another overrated bum to add on his destruction list

    For a so called nobody, like you said, GGG is getting a lot of your attention. So stop BS. Golovkin is the most important fighter in your world as a boxing fan.
    Just like Floyd is for MVC.
    Only you choose to give NEGATIVE attention towards your most important fighter.
    Whaterver floats your boat man
    But who are you fooling with ur "nobody" posts ?
    Your a loyal ( negative) fan.
    Works for GGG

    Floyd ducked him. Canelo is 2 levels below, so no. But it's not his fault.

    A KO win over Froch would have been massive, but Froch ran into retirement.

    How do you duck a fighter not in your weight class, you brainless scarecrow?

    By killing yourself to make weight to remain in one division below. By creating a 155 pound division. By calling yourself the Middleweight Champion and then vacating the belt.

    The fight would have been at 154. It would have been the highest PPV option outside of a Pacquiao rematch. Floyd called him basic. He didn't want none.

    GGG won't even make 155 for Canelo, and looked like a string bean in the weigh in for Brook. He wouldn't dare make a 154 pound fight for Floyd.. That was all nonsense man.

    Nope. Golovkin made it crystal clear that the ONLY PERSON he would go to 154 was Floyd (for the money AND the chance at snatching that 0). And being drained against a light hitting Floyd is different than being drained against a Fatty who rehydrates to 175-180.

    Go to 154 and he loses.
