    Both the same for me.

    For me, that's when Floyd was the real deal. And now, Golovkin is must-see TV.

    I could (and do) happily watch either or both.

    GGG hasn't fought anybody worth a damn yet.

    He's convinced me though. I was on the fence, but I'd be lying if I said he didnt have that "special" glow around him.

    At the moment id say floyd, but I can't see anyone beating golovkin at middleweight so it depends how long he stays there to see how dominant he could be.

    Both exciting and leagues above their competition at those weights.

    I say Mayweather easily while GGG is must watch boxing PBF was equally as dominant vs a higher caliber of fighters. It's one thing to be exciting/dominate vs 2/3rd stringers it's harder to do vs top level comp. Should be interesting to see what Gennandy does next.

    I see GGG as the real deal now. It took me a minute, but I do see the hype. The question is, why are his fans so against him going to 168? MW right now is a wasteland. Nothing there for him to be honest. At 168 he could rack wins vs Froch, Ward, Kessler, Bika, Chavez Jr, etc. And that would go a lot further than a MW reign in a weak generation. That would only be his 2nd weight class, and he's already what 32? It's only a matter of time before he's slows down. Shouldn't we as fans want him in against the best before he goes? What's wrong with that?

    excitement and dominance are not necessarily mutually inclusive, competitive bouts tend to be better viewing. it's a bit early in ggg's reign to say, but the way he's finishing his opponents means if forced to give an answer it'd be him.

    If Floyd and GGG are fighting on the same night, different networks, non PPV fight against equally matched opponent...who you watching?
