    GGG ain't no killer maybe a bum killer that's about it, Alvarez is faster better offensively and defensively.

    Just off the top of my head guys based of resume and accomplishments that are closer to being an ATG than GGG.

    Alvarez, D.Garcia, Broner, R.Gonzalaz, G.Rigonduex, A.Ward, S.Kovalev, N.Walters, A.Khan, T.Crawford, that's just a start. GGG hasn't done more than any of the, doesn't have as good a resume and those are just his contemporaries I could name another 10 guys and keep going.

    because he throws combos? gennady has better punch placement, and he can actually cut off the ring lol, he also has better timing and he's a superior counter puncher to canelo, he also hits 20x harder than canelo but yet canelo can beat him.. makes sense

    The only thing GGG has over Canelo is power and footwork every other skill Alvarez edges him. Just because I'm critical of GGG doesn't mean I don't watch the fights Alvarez is more skilled than GGG.

    If Golovkin was as bad as you make him out to be he wouldn't of ducked Lara I guy I'd bet on GGG beating but is still better than his entire resume.

    Also doesn't change the fact that I can name 20-30 fighters just from this era who are more accomplished and have better resumes than GGG and I don't think any of them are considered ATGs so GGG definitely isn't. Could he get there sure technically anybody can, will he based off what he's doing no.

    because he's the king of the middleweight division. and he's about to unify the titles. floyd's run at 130 is equivalent to GiGi's run at 160.. what great names did floyd beat at 130? but yet he's TBE at 130 :patsch

    see where im getting at?

    in terms of equivalence, rubio is the same as corrales. corrales is in the hall of fame, and there's no reason why rubio wouldn't be inducted into it. sh*t even gatti got inducted, what did he accomplish? the series he had with ward? what?

    **** like this is why GGG gets bashed I'm pretty sure 70% of the people critical of GGG have no problem with him and are just keeping it real about where he's at.

    Mayweathers career at 130 is probably going to be better than GGGs whole career. Wins over Corales, G.Hernandez, C.Hernandez, J.Chavez are greater than anything GGG has done or can do at MW besides beating the Cotto-Canelo winner.

    yes he ducked lara for lemeiux who is way more dangerous. and i thought lara fought at 54. but i'll entertain you. lara made canelo look like absolute sh*t, he had no answer for that stick and move style while GiGi who knows how to cut off the ring would definitely have an answer.

    a win over lemieux and cotto and canelo in the future is better than wins over corrales, hernandez, and chavez. maybe not hernandez but definitely corrales and chavez.

    A win over the Cotto-Canelo winner maybe a win over Lemieux is definitely not. C.Hernandez who was a top SFW Champ after losing to PBF, Chavez who was a dominate SFW & LW Champ after losing, Corales who also was an unbeaten P4P Champ before and went on to win titles at SFW & LW after are all better than GGGs entire resume. Also GGG likely loses to Alvarez so a lose isn't better than a win.

    Lara has been calling GGG out for a few years now he originally ducked Lara for Adama. I'd bet on GGG to beat Lara doesn't mean GGG didn't duck to face lesser fighters, also Lara would still be GGGs best win.

    This dude is so badass he ducked a guy that ran from Canelo for half the fight smh. Also what does 154 have to do with anything, who said they'd fight anyone from 154-68, is currently trying to fight a WW, and also came up with excuses when top fighters started calling him out. The answer is Gennandy Golovkin.
