Why I think GGG is a top 15 all-time middleweight.

I like the part you said about his power the most because I`m slightly confused as to how hard GGG hits but third best is near the truth for me and the thing I don`t like is when people say he couldn`t punch like Hagler, I would like to know what Hagler`s KO percentage was because where his falls would be pretty close to the mark but a lot of those stoppages weren`t one punch KO`s, Hagler finished a lot of fighters of with vicious combo`s so did Tyson who stopped more opponents earlier than Hagler in his respective division, that would be another good stat, what percentage of GGG`s KO`s were before the fourth round compared to Marvin who often took a while to wear down opposition, thanks.

 

SRR was in bad shape when he lost to Turpin.

 

GGG`s jab would be too much for a prime Roy, the worse thing you can do v GGG is back up, Roy was easy to trap on the ropes with the jab and GGG`s jab is far better than any Roy had to deal with, Jacobs gave GGG problems but he threw more punches than Roy would who was scared to throw v good counter punches, even someone who wasn`t very good like Griffin made Roy hesitant in therir first fight because he had the speed to counter Roy, GGG doesn`t have that kind of speed but you have to punch to keep him off and Roy would not do this and Roy didn`t know how to escape from the ropes like Canelo did, he`d just lie there with his gloves up trying to counter which is harder to do while you`re blocking, I feel Roy loses for these reasons.

 

Nunn was awful v Starling, GGG is great at getting around high guards, I saw that in a film study, GGG would of beaten Tate and Curry easily, Curry had really slowed down after he moved to middle and had already been beat by Noris by this stage, he tended to fade the more a fight went on, but Nunn was very open v Curry.

 

None of the other middles in history faced a power punching light heavy on the level of Kov, that`s like saying Hagler should of fought Spinks and the same goes for Ward who was as skilled as Spinks and was a super middle with a decent reach, I don`t think Hagler would of stood a chance v Ward at super middle, he might of been really slow being that short and bulking up, he was shorter than Leonard who started at welter!

 

Sensationalized and spin doctored to within an inch of its life. Floyd Mayweather didn't get extra points for winning / dominating fights just because he was over 35 and neither will Golovkin. The Vanes fight will prove that it was the competition that affected his performances against the two best guys he faced.
Your arguments are as shallow as triple Gs resume.

 

lol!

 

Suzie, they're still talking about the MIDDLEWIGT DIVISION.

He has only fought at Middleweight, so far.

Just like Monzon and Hagler and Graziano and a host of other MWs.

If the discussion were about p4p, you might have a point.

 

I see both sides of the debate. My eyes tell me Triple G is great or at least was/he does seem to be fading of late- which is unfortunate because he was CLEARLY avoided by everyone in the division for years. So now haters will come out of the woodwork and claim he only looked as good as he did- because of the level of fighter around him. My eyes and his amateur record tell a different story.
On the other side their is no way to skirt the issue- the names on his resume on not top quality. His resume IS light.

I see Triple G Landing in the top 20 I believe he could hang with anyone the version of 3 years ago. But eventually people will pick against him in fantasy matchups because he doesn’t have any great names on his ledger.

Jacobs and Canelo are two very good wins.
Lemieux and the rest are ok.
It’s a nice resume but not ATG worthy.
But that happens when you have an extensive amateur career and a rep as a destroyer in the pros.
I hope he get at least 2 more good wins.
