    Don't you think he deserves it at 38-soon, with 20 MW title wins, 22 if you count the consensus wins over Canelo? He's had plenty of top fights and wars, beat a legit top 3 for his latest title and Clen DOES owe him a 3rd fight (which GGG will likely really lose this time).

    At this point of his career Floyd was cherry picking and Lewis, DHL and most ATGs were long gone.

    A: gets robbed, in UK. I don't think GGG is capable of stopping Mundo anymore. (but probably could have once)

    At 6' 3'' he's a physical freak for 168. Which is partly why he's reluctant to go up to LHW, where his natural advantages would be less both in terms of height and fight night weight gain.

    He's got solid fundementals and a stellar counter left hook but apart from that, I agree, nothing special. And he's got Tesco Joe training him, so of course, he's not evolved in any meaningful way...

    GGG was a quality fighter and he has an outstanding knock out ratio

    However, his record is trash really isn't it? He hardly faced any great fighters

    For the amount of fanboy's this guy has, you would think he was Marvin Hagler!

    Dude GGG has fought 1 current champ in his career in Lemieux who won a vacant title and lost it in his very next fight gtfoh. GGG ain't fought nobody and that defense record is fake as hell dude didn't become a REAL Champ til Geale in 2014.

    What legit high quality fighters has GGG beaten a 50/50 fight vs Jacobs and Sergu 2 guys whose accomplishments are thin and a loss and draw vs Canelo that's not great no where near it lol

    Please. Some of you act like boxers are some kind of noble creature. They're all fully flawed individuals(like we all are) who just happen to be practitioners of the sport we love. Some are cool others are scumbags.

    How is Bjs the easier opponent? I think he'd outbox Callum Smith

    The lads I fought, trained with, sold tickets for..... All good lads. Certainly not a coward among them. You're wrong and, I would suggest, don't really belong here.
