    i keep hearing idiots say "he was never tested" or "he's never fought anyone elite" these are the same idiots saying khan isn't elite.. but yet there aren't many people i can count who would beat him at 147..... idiots... GiGi is an all time great middleweight, he is probably the most devastating puncher at 160 besides julian jackson but GiGi appears to hit a little harder(the face his opponents make when he lands). now you can argue that he hasn't really beaten anyone but do you assh*les really think there's a guy out there who would be able to beat him? you guys want him to move up to 168 to fight dre.... GiGi fights at 160, why won't dre move down since he wants the fight so bad... dre is just as uninterested in that fight as GiGi is. he's an all time great. he hits like an average heavyweight plus he applies educated pressure. h2h i wouldn't bet against him unless your chin is ridiculously solid(hagler, monzon). Golovkin the Great Middleweight This Era Has Been Waiting For.

    Age is not on his side so I doubt he has the time in him to really stamp his name down as a great

    No, this is a weak era has been weak for a long time.

    GGG is an elite fighter would have been competitive with past great middleweights but I think he ships too much punishment to be considered an atg.

    so where does the "i" come in? I've seen it before, I just don't get it. Only GiGi I've heard of is Gigi Hadid.

    Why couldn't you just say option 2 or 3, they're basically the same thing, nobody can consider him an ATG right now, he simply has not faced top tier competition... not his fault at all and it's not a particularly strong era for middleweight either so he has to look up and down, thankfully Cinnamon and Cotto have had to get away from Mayweather so are on a collision course with Golovkin.

    Canelo would beat GGG, to be great you have to do something great or beat someone great he's done neither

    Yup.

    A lot of fans seem to connect legacy with excitement. One does not in of itself connect to the other.

    canelo can beat him based on what? the only thing canelo has over GiGi is speed, he can't cut off the ring and he's not that big of a banger and i doubt he'd be able to take his punches.. golovkin either knocks him out or wins a UD. canelo ain't no goddamn killer and he's not that good to begin with. he's a plodder

    he could improve his resume by fighting an elite fighter like ward

    but instead he chose to fight a rubio leftover

    In time GGG will be the greatest middleweight ever.

    Look at the list of fighters that have ducked this legend in the making so far....and still keep ducking him...

    The road to greatness starts now.
    :deal

    It's irrefutable !
