    I'm arguing either boxing fans know who the real champ is(Golovkin), or there is no champ at 160.

    Except you don't speak for all boxing fans. You should learn the difference between the divisions champion and the divisions best fighter

    If you're talking about who's viewed as the best, then Golovkin is clearly head and shoulders above the rest at 160.

    But he is not the legitimate lineal champion. For better or worse, that distinction currently belongs to Cotto.

    Who's the divisions champion then? I'll agree if you say it's no one.

    If you want to get really technical it belongs to Adonis Stevenson. Hopkins beat Pavlik then Dawson beat Hopkins then Stevenson beat Dawson.

    Cotto is the champ. Do I think he'd beat GGG, no I don't. But that doesn't award the championship to GGG like it does in your made up commission

    Sure they did, because it's Hopkins and Ward. Their achievements speak for themselves. What has GGG done exactly to call for a payday like this?. The stupidity of GGG fans never fails to impress.

    He hasn't done anything to deserve that kind of a payday. Your point was that Golovkin was calling out guys much smaller then him. I was merely pointing out that almost everyone is calling out Floyd.

    GGG is just a normal title holder. Not a legend like Bhop. Bhop is asking too much.

    Hopkins was 40 years old when he lost to Taylor in a fight that can be argued he won.

    Golovkin, with that Swiss Cheese "defense", will be put of boxing LONG before he's 40.

    Who's fault is it that Bumlovkin has done nothing other than knock over TOMATO CANs?

    Ward is a chicken who can never beat Gennady legitimately, at a 50/50 weight split.
    It seems that you acknowledge that no fighter in the world weighing in at 164 or less has a legit chance at beating GGG. Is that correct?

    It's certainly not his fault that Cotto doesn't want to fight him. I'm just arguing as it concerns to becoming undisputed champ he is doing all he can.
