    GGG has victories over fellow middleweights Rubio, Mattthew Macklin,Lemieux, Derevyachenko and Jacobs.
    Is this enough or does he need to beat Murata and Charlo and other belt holders to be considered an atg ?

    I don't think he's done enough personally.

    HOF worthy, not ATG status. Not enough great fights against other ATG or HOF worthy fighters. Right now he will be remembered like a Ron Lyle or John Mugabi type. Had great fights with ATGs, but didn't do more.

    No. He would've had his hands full with guys like G-Man and the other great MW's around that era alone. Can you imagine GGG against a prime RJJ?

    No he isn't.
    he ofc had beat Canelo in first fight regardless Vegas cards and Canelo fans or business had told.
    Even rematch might had been scored for any one of them.
    Despite Canelo fans rude approach, btw his fans now for me looks more crazy than Wilder's and Conor fans.

    Pro boxing does have judges cards and do not allow fight under MMA rules.
    Conor fans talked that Khabib is hype job and will be exposed.
    Khabib outboxed him in standup and made him to tap on ground.

    Pro boxing is easier to :bump.
    Fans too are more easier to manipulate in pro boxing than in MMA.

    If Hopkins is an ATG then Golovkin certainly has a case.

    Golovkin was a more dominant Middleweight than Hopkins.

    I'd have him on the ATG list.

    yes let prime GGG juice the way RJ was juicing and GGG lays him out . GGG went 24 rounds with juiced up Clen and won most of them, while Saunders talked more trash than anyone and then got smashed in 8.

    What evidence is there to suggest Roy Jones was juiced at 160?
