    If Golovkin retired tomorrow, do you think he deserves to be in the hall of fame?

    The boxing hall of fame is hard to figure out, because sometimes they put "exciting" or controversial fighters in the hall of fame before guys who are better then them, like Arturo Gatti.

    Is there a Hall of Fame for consistent can crushing? If so, then absolutely. In fact, he should retire. According to his fans he beats Prime Roy Jones so what is the point of going on when you would hypothetically do such a thing?

    if he fought Ward and won, he could easily retire with that one amazing win. No doubt end up on hall of fame.

    - Ward fight and win, he probably still could for middleweight history

    He's a strange one

    Go down as one of the most avoided fighers of all time

    Such a shame the current state of boxing can let **** lke this happen

    Cant some multi billionaires like Branson and Trump team together and put an end to this pathetic facade?

    Edwin Valero status really. Minus the hate for being a psycho murderer of course.

    No way. The bar for this has gotten SO low among boxing fans. Only the proven greats should go into the hall.

    Yes I think so. He has more title defenses than 99% MW champs and he has been very dominant in doing so.
