    How good is he?

    Is he another Hagler?

    Or just over rated?

    People like Billy Graham have long said the guys the best boxer on the planet

    Time will tell, most very likely - no.

    Is he overrated?

    I'd say in general, yes. But he's still a very good fighter.

    How good is he? Very good

    Is he another Hagler? No, he's the first Golovkin.

    Or just over rated? By some, and underrated by others.

    One of the strangest things is that the guys who say he's a fraud, come up with a former P4P #2 from a higher weightdivision -who might not even be able to make that weight on his comeback- to beat him...

    Been saying that for years, they're almost themselves admitting how good he is by picking Ward to "expose" him. :lol::patsch

    I find it hard to believe hes over rated with 350 am wins

    His haters used to say maybe he has a fragile chin

    Its been shown its cast iron

    So we have a 350 fight am experienced guy whos moved into the pros. fought good to very good opposition, and utterly destroyed them

    GGG and Rigo are the two guys in boxing who can not be overrated even if you wanted to.

    All the attention right now is on the Steamroller

    (and as a side effec Kovalev)


    i cant wait to see GGG again, this time not against a slow unmovable object, but against a fast slickster

    He's so overrated nobody can find someone in his weight class able to even survive against him.

    So overrated, haters have resort to insist he HAS to climb weight divisions and fight against boxers much bigger than him, since in his own weight class there's NOBODY he can't beat, included boxers from other weight classes.

    Is this enough overrated for you :thumbsup ?

    IMO He's better than people generally realize. He's walking the same footsteps as Hagler and Monzon. People are missing his prime and don't even realize it. Fighters like GGG don't come very often.
