Vernon Forrest and Steve Collins<\/a>\u00a0are also in the running alongside ‘GGG’.<\/p>\n The Kazakhstani has been out of action since he suffered his second loss to Canelo Alvarez<\/a> in 2022, which means he is now eligible for the Men\u2019s Modern category entrance.<\/p>\n As the boxing fraternity share their predictions on who this year’s inductees will be, Garcia has given his controversial opinion.<\/p>\n He said on DAZN\u2019s Inside The Ring: \u201cTriple G had no really great victories.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, who did he beat?\u201d<\/p>\n As host Max Kellerman reiterated that many believe ‘GGG’ won at least one of his clashes with Canelo, Garcia remained unfazed.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI do see that, but we\u2019re talking about Hall of Fame, we\u2019re not talking about eras. <\/p>\n “I\u2019m talking about overall, all of boxing. <\/p>\n “I just don\u2019t see him in the Hall of Fame yet, I can\u2019t give him that nod.\u201d<\/p>\n Garcia’s opinion seems to be a hot-take, as many fellow boxers believe that Golovkin has certainly earned his nomination.<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n The boxing fraternity remain divided over Golovkin and Canelo’s first two clashes with many believing that GGG should have been given the nodCredit: Ed Mulholland\/MatchroomWhat has GGG done in his career that has earned a nomination for the Hall of Fame?<\/p>\n Golovkin began his professional boxing career in 2006, after taking home a silver medal at the 2004\u00a0Olympics<\/a> for Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n ‘GGG’ went unbeaten for 18 fights and scored a first-round stoppage against Milton Nunez to claim the interim WBA world middleweight title.<\/p>\n After just four years on the pro scene, he then secured the WBA ‘regular’ belt in 2010, before being upgraded to full champion subsequently in 2014.<\/p>\n In 2015, he then added the IBF world title to his growing collection with a breakout win over David Lemieux.<\/p>\n He went on a 23-KO unbeaten streak, a sensational record before a sensational points win Daniel Jacobs in 2017, which broke his streak but earned him his biggest fight yet.<\/p>\n Canelo and Golovkin fought to a famous and controversial draw in 2017, before being handed his first career defeat in yet another contentious points decision in their subsequent rematch a year later.<\/p>\n But a year after the majority decision loss to his fellow great in 2018, Golovkin became a two-time world champion.<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n Golovkin is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history and a legendary middleweight world championCredit: Ed Mulholland\/Matchroom 4<\/p>\n Golovkin hung up his gloves with a pro record of 42-2-1Credit: Melina Pizano\/Matchroom<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/EM1_1499.jpg\")
