    The division, like 112, is deep. Narvaez had a lot of boxrec points so beating him gives Inoue a lot. Also Inoue's record at 108 (wins against Hernandez and Taguchi) will have helped with his boxrec points, especially considering what Taguchi has done since.

    So you're saying you don't know who Taguchi or Hernandez are.

    ...or you don't consider either "top opposition"?

    Ward hasn't been active enough to maintain a P4P ranking in my view and he's highly lucky to still have his title, he should've been stripped.

    Gonzalez and GGG are actually quite similar, they've both beat "good" fighters and Gonzalez has beaten some "great' fighters - but neither of them have stepped in there with another fighter ranked Top 3 in their weight class or anyone ranked P4P.

    "Best bang for your entertainment buck" is code for HBO gets him for peanuts to fight so-so competition and doesn't feel compelled to throw out big money to make more meaningful GGG fights.

    wouldn't his style be less effective if he didn't always press tho?

    Round 1

    Golovkin is stalking as Monroe circles and pops right jabs and straight pot shot left hand leads in rhythm. Golovkin loops a right hand behind the jab and clips Monroe on the chin as he is sidling along the ropes. Golovkin stepping forward with combinations and grazing Monroe on the head. Monroe is working the southpaw jab but getting parried aside with a windshield-wiper motion of Golovkin's forearms. Golovkin catches a jab on the back of his left wrist and flips it outside, creating a lane to land his right. Monroe clinches.

    10-9 Golovkin
