    Beating BJS and Canelo, then winning a title at 168 would be a start.

    But let's be real, GGG is already 34. Floyd was a multiple weight champion by his 20s. There's no way he can surpass Floyd.

    way too late to think about this. floyds old school, they used to set out to wni wordl titles in their 20s, not this new wave who rest on their laurels until their 30s before trying for world level in the easiest cowayrdzaghe possible


    no disrespect, 3g is a serious KO artist, but hes waited till 32 to fight at world level. floyd could have retired at that age and still have been ahead of him whatever 3g does. MW greats like haggler and sugar ray were packing in their top flight careers at age 32, having earned their oats already....3g just got started! ... no way can he compete now.

    Beating Canelo and Ward would get him close.

    He'd have to go to heavyweight and reign there.

    Unify? Unify bogus titles lol... Mofo, all he has to do is beat the lineal champion, and GG has not done that.

    Yeah, I know.

    When Ward lays a beating on Kovalev, I expect everyone from 168 to cruiser will avoid Ward like the plague. Bumlovkin included..

    Floyd won every belt there is the be won at WW and was the WBA, WBO, WBC and lineal champion after defeating Manny Pacquaio. He also unified the Wba, wbc and lineal belts at JMW. His fight with Corrales at SFW was supposed to be for the WBC and IBF belts but the IBF stripped Corrales for fighting mayweather.

    no, title defences after winning the world title for an organistion, not including 2nd tier titles like silver/regular.

    if we start including regular/silver then we might as well include "international title" defences too.

    so 3g has at most six defences, with the addendum that he never beat a titleholder to get his title, nor fought someone for that vacant title in order to win it. if danny geale is counted as the vacant title fight then hes only got 5 defences.
