    I got Kovalev, people harp on how they look in their respective fight's but you have to account for level of comp. Kovalev might seem more vulnerable but he's fighting B+/A- type guys, GGG is fighting C/C+ level guys with 1/2 B- type fighter's.

    Personally I can see "The Krusher" beating Stevenson,Ward, Chavez ect.. While I can see GGG losing to guys like Canelo,Andrade,ect...Not even mentioning Ward.

    I'll take competitive fight's vs top comp over steamrolling bums any day, that's just my opinion though.

    Hopkins & Pascal fighting Kovalev is kind of like the equivalent of Cotto & Quillin fighting Golovkin- and it's through no fault of Golovkin's that Cotto and Quillin would rather fight other guys.

    And no, the guys GGG has steamrolled aren't just bums. :patsch

    I agree with this. I still think Golovkin is the more dangerous of the 2 though.

    Currently I'd say Kovalev. He's operated at a higher level against the best in his division and come through impressively. He showed against Hopkins he wasn't just all pressure and power but could move well, box and counter effectively. He's simply shown us more so far.

    These are my two favorites at the moment.

    I think GGG would win if they faced off at say, 170 or even 175

    GGG is more dangerous and will end up being the better fighter PFP in history

    Kovalev looks pretty big at 175. Reckon he might be drained to hell if they fought there- and who would want a GGG body shot while drained. :yikes

    Not really Quillin is really no more proven than GGG neither has that real standout win to make you say yeah there doing something. Right now there just solid contender types. On the issue of Cotto if the Canelo fight had come off that's not a duck. That's fighting the better more established fighter. Right now Canelo is the bigger scalp, i mean Canelo is going to fight Kirkland, GGG is fighting Monroe there are level's.

    Kovalev dominated an ATG, Unified vs Champions, and just stopped another solid contender. Pascal is better than anyone on GGG's resume no lie, who are you going to argue Murray who's beat known for LOSING to a injured Martinez, Rubio who's best known for LOSING to Chavez, or maybe the super paper IBA Champ Geale smh. **** GGG just ducked Lara it seems like(And I Fu*king hate Lara) so maybe we should be patient and see what happens.

    Ducked the guy who just recently said he's staying at 154, despite his supposed "call out?"

    Pascal is best known for LOSING to Froch & Hopkins (who are better known than his biggest win Dawson).

    Ducked Lara? A man who doesn't have the courage to stand and trade with Canelo is going to move up in weight and tackle Triple G but not try and make a complete farce of a fight and that's a duck (despite I haven't seen any proof that Lara has even tried to get that fight other than run his mouth a couple of times- why not move up and get himself into a mandatory position?).

    Golovkin could have defeaedt all the top 10 middleweights and his haters would still say all he's beat are bums and blown up jr middles/ welters.

    So BHop.....beats Murat and Shumenov, whom Campillo and Cleverly both beat.
    Pascal lost to BHop and Froch, who lost to Ward and Kessler.

    These are titlists and former titlists that Kovalev is beating.

    GGG beats Murray, who BEAT 2 titlists including the lineal champion, Martinez.
    GGG beat Geale who also beat Sturm, and beat Mundine who beat former titlist in 3 different classes.

    GGG beat former titlist Ouma.

    You downplay GGGs resume simply b/c there is NO BHop at MW...an OLD school fighter looking to prove something.

    Martinez would likely try to prove he's still the best MW vs GGG, but if GGG KOd him in 2 rd, he'd be garbage in your estimation.

    Problem for kovalev, is his division was led by a glass jawed undedicated fighter only 18 months ago. So Sergey took over a weak division, that he WILL dominate until Beterbiev comes along, or Ward grows a pair. And I think KOvalev takes em.

    But fact remains that even shot Martinez is still<Glass Dawson, and Murray is far and above Jean Pascal. :nono

    Kovalev's KOs are brutal.

    So are GGG's but I'd rather be punched by Triple G because after Krusher knocked me out he tell me I'm a right knob head, when GGG knocks me out he'd call me a good boy. :lol:

    Kovalev is pretty vicious with that reach and power but Golovkin is in another league with his talent, plus he has some power too.
