    I can't see Floyd beating GGG at this point.

    If he did and won (at 160lb), would it make him 'P4P #1 G.O.A.T' ?

    It would give him a claim to it now. However, it would really depend on what GGG did afterward. It's the this enhances Roy's legacy thing.

    Take Lennox, for example. 7/5 favorite over Grant, no big deal win. 7/5 favorite over Akinwande, no big deal win (although I consider this to be a big win, most don't). Slight favorite over Vitali, however, huge win, probably Lennox's best win.

    Nut huggers can sometimes force a decent win to mean a lot more than it should, though. See Duran over Moore, for example.

    As good as GGG seems, his resume still lacks. Just ask REED. If he fell apart after a Floyd loss, Floyd would win in the $$$ sense, as always, but he would lose historically, in retrospect.

    About as much a chance as a major tv network giving OJ his own primetime cooking show.

    I forgot about fightbeat's #1 fetish. Guys with terrible resumes and shit competition.

    GGG
    Spence
    Brook
    Verdejo

    The gods of fightbeat with one decent opponent between four fucking guys. And as good as Crawford has looked in the ring, the biggest feather in his cap is coming back against a Cuban dwarf who had eaten his way out of two weight classes.

    As much as I like GGG, his career has pretty much turned into a huge dissapointment. He's no spring chicken. He has to do something soon, or he'll go out as a Calzaghe at best.

    I think that If GGG cant make the canelo fight by the end of the year, he should move to smw. While the champs over there arent all that, they are a million times better than the clowns he fights currently

    The knock on Calzaghe was that he stayed in Europe too long. He was fighting top level European fighters. Then we came over to the US he did fight Lacy when Lacy was a Showtime money fighter and an undefeated Olympian. This victory lost its luster because Lacy did fuck all after that. Then of course the Kessler fight which was an impressive win and later on in his career Hopkins and RJJ. Okay, they were old but so was he.

    GGG is a Euro fighting shit competition in America. "Nobody will fight me" only goes so far especially when you're accepting opponents like Wade and Rubio and you're supposedly a P4P top fighter.

    Calzaghe...as shitty as he was....his competition is A+ compared to GGG....Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins(even that version) are 100x better than anyone in GGG resume...

    As much as i hate to say it, Calzaghe opposition is indeed much better than GGG opposition. Though id say that Lacy is at about the same level as Lemieux

    The Brewer and Mitchell fights were in Europe and were against far far bigger opponents, literally and figuratively, than anything GGG has managed thus far.

    Brewer and Mitchell weren't any better than Lemoo and that English guy.

    That is not what was said. It was said he was bigger, literally and figuratively, than anything that GGG has managed.
