GGG unfortunaley will not become a boxing legend

neither will Canelo, Crawford, Loma Spence, Thurman or anyone else you can mention.

If you are going to become a superstar an absolute fucking legend then you need need to be well on your way by the time that you are 27/28 and you also need a strong division which will interest people.

GGG beats Canelo, then what

Crawford hasn't beat anyone mainstream, same as Loma, when I say mainstream I mean a big name that the casual fan knows, and unfortunately for them they are too old now, not too old to be massive stars but too old to hit the heights that certain other boxers have hit.
unfortunately for spence the British casual doesn't appreciate the win, they see it as 'Brook wasn't good enough' (thank you GGG who was 2 weights above Brook, but that doesn't matter to the casual)

The only man that can become a 'boxing legend' at the moment is AJ, and that isn't because he is a 'boxing legend' it is just that he is the most marketable, casual fans don't seem to care about the strength of the heavyweight division as long as you look good.

I've had a drink, a very good fucking drink so I will revisit this tomorrow and edit as I find appropriate, but for now it makes just about enough sense for me to click sumbit

end of the day, it is the casual fans that make a modern day boxing legend because they are the ones that are noticed, mugs like you and me pay our money regardless because we appreciate the fight, the casuals are the ones who get behind the media machine and when a fighter is marketed correctly they will get millions more viewers than just 'a good fight'
