GGG needs to do what Hopkins did- have another 16 fights at Middleweight before moving up

    Lol! THEY seem to like to try that. Kinda Like that turd BRAIN DAMAGE not thinking people can think for themselves and the little “B.. Bu.. But he got da W doe! TKO6 Doe!” tactic wins arguments.

    As far as breaking Hopkins' MW defense record, the longevity is impressive.

    But... "it's just a number."

    Like comparing Marciano to Mayweather. Marciano didn't fight a ranked opponent until his 30-something fight.

    Hopkins and Golovkin have had two different reigns. Compare the opposition if you would like to debate which reign was better.

    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam is not a legend because he has 90+ wins.

    He's a legend because he has 15 or so highly relevant victories over quality contenders/titlists.

    Braindamage is shitfilth! The guy wished permanent injury on GGG before the Jacobs fight. Said something to the effect of how he wished GGG would sustain neurological injuries of a permanent nature that would prohibit him from interacting with his children. Y

    When I remind the board of this he calls it "crying" just like he does when anyone brings up corruption that screws over an E.E. fighter.

    Nope. His 25th fight actually after not having much of an amateur career, plus he fought a tough fight with another prospect in Vingo and beat a guy who was just rated in the top 10 in Phil Muscato.

    Mayweather stepped up in his 18th fight if I'm not mistaken after not fighting any noteworthy guys. So I wouldn't say the difference is that huge. Overall, Mayweather ultimately fought more rated guys but he was active in multiple divisions where as Marciano was a heavyweight. For a career heavyweight that was active less than a decade, Maricano holds up pretty well on rated opposition.

    I agree with that approach.
