Well, dude, you could guess who would give a damn about that...

Buddy, you’re in the wrong place to ask for us to be easy. These chumps are relentless. I on the other hand, like your style. Your opinion on this one is pretty whacky but at least you told how you felt.
To put Rigo in a conversation with GGG historically is not even close to fair. GGG has not only never lost or been on the canvas, he’s never even been hurt for that matter. Rigo has been knocked down in most of his fights and quit inside the ring.
So you people that hate GGG, don’t be ridiculous with your comparisons. The guy deserves credit because he’s been probably the only boxer that tried to do it right. He wanted to fight the best. He was avoided and had little to work with but when he got in with quality, he beat everyone that tried. It’s sad that boxing fans can’t give in to their pride and just give the guy his due. It’s not like he’s a Charlo yapping like a fool. GGG is respectful and down to earth and has been great for this game. The poor guy got screwed out of his legacy so can’t you just let him have what he deserves. He’s a great champion and all time great.
As much as I must stay respectful, pointing out that I'm no fan of anyone or anything (I just respect competence), I must state, as it's pretty obvious but still unread by myself in this context, that GGG's not a happy era for middleweights: the times of Monzon, Hagler, and even Minter, are sadly gone.
Any boxer at least at Sergio Martinez' level (proficient, I reckon) would eat good GGG alive. A dangerous outsider, I can see it, but not an all-timer. Maybe in an all-time-middleweight-top-30 (very, very "generously" -or ignorantly-), but he would be in an above-named-weight class-top-20 more for the stink of his farts than for his boxing skills.
Forget any respectable p4p list... Soviet crap.
I'm beginning to feel quite fed up with this. Most probably this could be my last post in this thread, then I'll let yourself boil in your own broth.
If good GGG has struggled against Canelo who is arguably future all-of-fame material, but he's still a natural superwelterweight, how could you think he would have related to Leonard or Hearns..? Do you know that couple of guys, dude? How on Earth could GGG even dream about setting up the pace Hagler kept in the Hearns fight?
Either you're kidding me, or you must be GGG's mother, if he ever got a blind mother.
Look, I'm still convinced that Pavlik and Jermain Taylor would just need to train hard enough with the right entourage and they could give this clearly ovethyped GGG the time of his life, if not else. Boxing-hall-of-fame editors aren't any messiah, and even if they were, I still wouldn't judge a boxer by the fact that he figures in the hall of fame or not, as much as I know that there are soccer/European football players that haven't won the ballon d'or, stronger than some who have won it...
Digression closed, end of paragraph.
I've seen GGG get ting hit flush enough by that Canelo guy... snapping his head back like a bowling pin... no middleweight all-timer whatsoever would take a punch like that from a naturally-lighter guy like the still-great Saul Alvarez, sure as f*ck.
Perhaps defense is the most overrated GGG's feature.
Besides, I have a lot of respect for Canelo: facing MayweatherJr. while you're 23 years old or so, takes quite a pair of balls: now, if great-at-welterweight Floyd Jr. handled hard-hitting, prime, and already expert Canelo, who humbled GGG in an unquestionable way, how do you think GGG would relate to the likes of Hearns, Leonard and Duran, who would give Mayweather Jr. a harder time if not else..?
Now take all the time you want to answer: either way, by now, I feel I've got nothing more to say about GGG, and this might last for a while in this forum...
So you might sleep well tonight. ;) Cheers.
