    Geale is much more proven

    Geale deserves the two spot based on his accomplishments, even though I feel very strongly that GGG would knock him out.

    Course, nobody's ever had an issue fighting him. :D

    Props to Matty Mack, but June 29th is going to be a satisfying day.

    By beating Sylvester who Proksa destroyed? or by beating Sturm who lost to Solimon, macklin, murry etc. ?

    I would say GGG destroying Proksa, Rosado and Ishida in way bigger fashion is actually more impressive. Not that either is well proven yet.

    If ducking GGG is considered an accomplishment, than yes. But perhaps fighters who duck top Fighters should actually be punished in the rankings?

    Look at Geale's last five fights, two Split Decisions and no ko's. GGG hasn't lost a round in five fights and had 5 ko's.

    Would you rather be Geale or Golovkin going into that matchup?

    Geale by a decisive, inarguable margin.

    Unless your ranking ONLY factors in your H2H opinion.

    I look at it like this, if both fought everyone in the top 10 - who would most likely end up with the best record? To me, Geale is much more beatable than GGG.

    Geale.
    Although I strongly feel rankings award ducking, and like others say, GGG will KO him.
    If GGG hadn't been ducked he would probably have been the #2 by a wide margin, or even been the #1 right now.

    Golovkin would win, but Geale is rated higher
