    The funny thing about GGG is that no matter what 'experts' have to say about his credibility, nobody who has fought him has called him a hype job or overrated. In fact, everyone basically confirms that he's the best they've faced.
    Just the other day Martin Murray was interviewed by Frampton and confirmed Golovkin was the best all around fighter with basically no exploitable weaknesses when he fought him. Murray has fought a lot of champs in the amateurs and pros.

    I think it's the way he moved up in weight and beat big guys at Heavyweight at an advanced age. I don't rate him highly my self but his best wins are head and shoulders above Golovkins imo

    I gave your post a like because of the" jockstrap in the teeth" comment LOL. Anyway, care explaining how Chavez Jr. did more at 160 than G. I mean, 20+ title defenses with 20+ ko's is very impressive. I just don't recall Jr. Having any significant runs like that.

    There's a lot of MWs who'd beat him.
    Hopkins, Hagler Monzon, Ketchel, SRR, Jones, Toney.

    That's not a lot mate, and its only your opinion. If they were the only ones that could beat him, that for me would be you acknowledging him as an atg

    He's good but nothing great. Resumes speak louder than anything. The only reason Canelo will have a better legacy is because of the names he's faced.hes younger as well and also plans on moving up to 175 to fight kovalev. So in the long run Canelos legacy will be better overall than ggg

    There not the only ones, just the first that come to mind, and people like Greb and Langford don't have enough footage to make a claim about who wins.

    After a longer think these are some who I think also beat GGG
    Ezzard Charles, Bob Fitzsimmons, Charley Burley, Tony Zale, Gerald McClellan, Emile Griffith and Gene Fulmer has a shot. He's not bad but he isn't one of the greatest MW h2h
