American welterweight contender Ryan Garcia says he doesn\u2019t see former Middleweight Champion Gennadiy \u201cTriple G\u201d Golovkin as a Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

Garcia, who has made this comment prior, maintained his stance when he made an appearance on boxing show \u201cInside The Ring\u201d at a time Golovkin is eligible to be inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

27 year old Garcia based his argument on the lack of big name opponents, aside Golovkin\u2019s trio of bouts against Saul Canelo Alvarez, on the Kazakh boxing icon\u2019s CV.<\/p>\n

\u201cTriple G really had no great victories. It\u2019s a little hard for me to put him in the Hall of Fame. I just don\u2019t see him as a Hall of Famer. I can\u2019t give him that nod\u201d Garcia said and added that<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that I will give him is that he was one of the superstars in boxing, for a long time, I will give him that.\u201d<\/p>\n
