    The same Golovkin who only edged past Danny Jacobs by the skin of his teeth?

    Hearns beats GGG.

    Golovkin never proved he was a great fighter, and he ducked Ward like a coward.

    The same Hearns who got his eggshell chin exploded by Barkley? :lol: Make another joke.

    At basketball ... and even then, who knows.

    Golovkin proved that YDKSAB and that Ward ducked him like a coward.

    Ward ducked Golovkin? Lol.

    Ok, man...

    You're literally making up the opposite of what occurred to make yourself feel better.

    HBO wanted Ward-Golovkin and so did Ward.

    Triple Duck was too much of a chickensh!!t to test himself at 168.

    He opted to pick on smaller guys like Brook and Canelo, and his strategy backfired against Canelo.

    Barkley did little outside beating Hearns and consistently lost to the best guys he faced. Legacy wise he is nowhere near Canelo. He's far closer to someone like Jacobs in terms of accomplishments

    154 Hearns has a case to be top 20 all time. That should answer it.

    Hearns is a legit ATG.

    GGG ko highlights is based on a Rubio win, the same Rubio that Kofi Jantuah also stopped in 1 round with 1 punch...

    The fact GGG was like 30 when he came to the big picture may have to do with it. At one time, he seemed invincible, tbh.
