    You ignorant fool when did GGG dare to be great? Fighting no hopers like Monroe Jr, Ishida or Wade? Who dared to be great a guy who went through 5 weights or a guy who took no risks not moving up staying in a weak division facing mandos and no hopers?:deal

    Before 1987 there were no so called quintuple champions or even any quadruple champions.

    After 1987, there have been 6 quintuple champions and 16 quadruple champions.

    Rare and impressive, or non existent for the first century of the sport but becoming increasingly common in the last 30 years.


    In the last 10 years there have been 9 new quadruple champions, 7 just within in the last 5 years. Some would describe this as a drastic upward trend that will only increase. Maybe details should be examined.


    And of these 16 men, only one began his career higher than welter, and he has failed drug tests. Make of this what you will.

    There are more weight classed than there used to be even so it's still impressive.

    That maybe so, but maybe not as impressive as the trend continues, and we see more and more fighters turn pro at a young age, fight for more years, and collect more and more available titles as they fill in. It could become another empty stat.

    Mayweather didn't fight Margarito when he looked like a bit of a beast and he gave Paul Williams a swerve.

    Wait 6 years to fight a little fella and only after the little fella was knocked spark out by somebody else.

    Mayweather as talented as he is/was isn't the brave soul he pretends to be, he wouldn't have fought any fighter as dangerous as Golovkin is at this moment in time at any point in his career, he proved that with the fighters above :good

    The saying "Daring to be great" came from a Duran documentary. The duranimals started the'daring to be great' theme on here and other forums. I'm proud to say I'm one of them but this Is just an alt of my original perma-banned account.

    Floyd man the fvck up and dare to be great already you pvssy.

    You are to Floyd what little girls are to One Direction.

    Again all the names you mention are better than anyone on Golovkin's resume but it's all relative when you take into consideration that non apart from Corrales were prime,at their optimum weight and had all lost before.

    Again Floyd has a very good resume but is it truly legendary? Not a chance.

    Does Floyd "dare to be legendary"?


    Ps both Guerrerro and Berto were Ishida level fighters, as we're Gatti. Especially when he could have fought Tszyu

    Funny how nobody is answering the subject of.the thread

    Golovkin skills are hard to.notice by casuals because he use a lot of old skills that are very simple...the way he pary and barely slip punches,his ring cuting,shifti g his weight fron orthodox to southpaw in middle of an attack and like murray said he is very good at being just in range when he attack and just out of range when he defend

    PBF couldn't have fought Zoo but you didn't know that because you don't know **** about boxing and weren't even watching the sport back then. Zoo was a showtime fighter and PBF was with HBO how was a fight between these two going to happen? Neither fighters at that point warranted a cross-promotion like PBF-Pac did but as usual if the fight doesn't happen blame PBF right?:lol::rofl I won't even mention that Zoo lost to Hatton.

    See this is the problem, Mayweather didn't fight Tsyzu when he was at the top of his game.

    Mayweather didn't fight Williams, Margarito, Pacquiao and a few others when they were at their very best.

    Mayweather says himself "the right fights at the right time, it's all about timing"

    What he basically means is "I'll wait until they get beaten up, get old or move on and I don't have to fight them"

    if pac had agreed to a drug test the fight would have happened 5-6 years earlier

    if bob arum was willing to pay Floyd an extra 6 mil over two future fights against hatton and cotto then Floyd would have fought margarita(bob confirmed this himself and its there in an archived obese dan article)

    Williams and tsyzu fights never materialized at the right times....it works that way sometimes...we don't always get to see every intriguing matchup we want

    Thats not what floyd mean by the timing is right...he only think about money

    Nobody can say he was wrong to wait...he made 300million instead of 60 by waiting to fight pac

    It is about timing, for Floyd and Golovkin as well. For instance, back in 2012 when GGG was still basicly a nobody here it was a good time for him to fight Andre Ward because he needed to get on the map. Ward was unavailable at that time.

    Now you look at 2015/16 and GGG is the mandatory for a big fight with Cotto/Canelo and a unification fight with Lemieux. It STILL would've been a bigger accomplishment to go up a weight class and beat Ward(if he could), but that no longer makes any buisiness sense.
