    I think that's fair.

    GGG is better, for sure.

    Really don't think that's unreasonable or a negative description.

    I've seen people call GGG a discount Kostya.

    He’s not nearly as skilled as GGG was, he’s a young guy with a big punch and confidence. He’s fun to watch and I hope he beats Charlo but he’s not a top top level talent. Ggg was

    What he is, is a full time boxer, who fights regularly against credible opponents.
    Would that the lumps in the heavyweights and many others would follow his example

    Certainly doesn’t have GGG’s power, jab, or relentless style that made him a special fighter.

    People in here call themselves fight fans yet they are determined to tear down one of the only top level guys in the sport who actually wants to fight and put on a show. Plus he’s a banger, a really fun guy to watch.

    Yet people want to insult the guy and tear him down? It’s truly pathetic.

    This sport needs fighters like Tim Tszyu.

    He's young, don't write him off just yet. GGG was blatantly ducked especially by Canelo. No one wanted any part of him in the ring. To Me GGG was way above Canelo in their primes like Pac was over Floyd. The so called Vegas cash cows never gave any opponent an even break they always had their HELP!! both legal & illegql
