Enough time has passed that Gennadiy Golovkin’s name has officially been placed on the International Boxing Hall of Fame ballot.
As voters now ponder on whether or not the former middleweight champion should be inducted in, there's one man who doesn't believe he should.
“Triple G really had no great victories,” Ryan Garcia said on the latest episode of "Inside The Ring". “It’s a little hard for me to put him in the Hall of Fame. I just don’t see him as a Hall of Famer. I can’t give him that nod.”
For now, Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs) will have to sit patiently and await his fate. As for his resume, however, it stacks up with some of the all-time greats. He was a two-time middleweight champion, having held all but one of the 160-pound titles. He also held those straps for nearly a decade and once KO’d 23 consecutive opponents.
Still, despite overwhelming success, what plagued Golovkin’s career was his lack of credible opponents. Outside of his trilogy with Canelo Alvarez, where he failed to win any of their three fights officially on paper, Golovkin struggled in competing too many notable names.
That lack of star power on his resume is something Garcia cares deeply about. But for the welterweight contender who’s looking to pick up the pieces of his own career following an upset loss to Rolando Romero in May, he doesn’t want to sweep Golovkin’s career under the rug.
“The thing that I will give him is that he was one of the superstars in boxing, for a long time,” Garcia admitted. “I will give him that.”
