    Does Golovkin deserve to go in the boxing hall of fame? Who apart from Jacobs has he really beat and when he fought a future hall of famer in canelo he got a draw and a loss.

    I am surely not objective but:
    - Amateur World Champion and Olympic Vice Champion
    - Unified world champion of middleweight for four years
    - Winner against Jacobs
    - Winner by KO against Lemieux, Murray and Rubio.
    - Produced two instant classics against Canelo whose results are very controversial.

    I think this deserves the HOF.

    Alvarez has been lineal at 154 and 160. Golovkin hasn't been lineal at any weight.

    Not as it stands. Despite being a fan favorite he just hasn’t done enough.

    By that logic Canelo is greater than Sam Langford

    We're talking about Golovkin not Langford. Langford did more than fight at just 160 his entire career and not have a meaningful victory.

    So Korobov deserves a future hall of fame being a double world amateur
    Martin Murray I totally respect. Billy Joe had an easier night with Lemieux even know he didn't stopo him. Why does Golovkin no fight Billy Joe? And Kovobov was a double world amateurr champ.

    Seeing how low the bar has been set to get in the HOF nowadays there's no denying that GGG is getting in eventually. ATG is another story.

    Everyone gets into the HOF these days.

    ATG is a different story.
