    I think if he becomes an undisputed MW champion and then beats the best SMW at the time (Ward may be at light heavy by then), he will be above Klitchkos, Tsiu and every other boxer from post-Soviet states.

    Of course, Lomachenko, Kovalev, Beterbiev, Usyk, Kudryashov, etc. could do something similar, so it is hard to say.

    You do know that Golovkin is from Kazakhstan right? You know, the place were Borat is from, which is NOT Russia.

    Kievan Rus' look it up, its because most of them are. the 'Stans have a mixture of Turkic and Russian inhabitants. GGG's dad is Russian that is a fact.

    So El Chicano, GGG you say is Russian... can we just cut out all the rubbish and you explain to me how you are going to tie GGG to Putin, The Cold War, MH17, Ukraine and all thing you perceive evil?

    You seem to have a real dislike GGG so I'm just expecting you to twist this subject.

    Duran's father was Mexican, so that's a reasonable idea.
