    You are a living joke, man. Seriously. You should try with curling, boxing is not for you.

    Golovkin has fought numerous guys that were rated #1 contender in the world. Lemieux, Murray, Jacobs, etc. Were pretty much all considered the 2nd best MW in the world when they fought GGG.

    Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but the last thing GGG can be accused of is being a ducker.

    Also believe it or not some fighters actually raise their stock after a fight. Who would have thought? If Jacobs wasn't rated on this board before the GGG fight then he sure as hell is after the GGG fight. Jacobs is still 30 and his career is incomplete. That win over Jacobs could start looking a lot better in a few years.

    Crawford beating every former ATG threads are non existent. You get them on a regular basis with Golovkin. GGG attracts a lot of casual fanboys.

    But i think Crawford is around the same level to GGG resume wise. Neither guy is a h2h ATG beater.

    No , thats false. He never beat a #1 Rated MW since he himself has been the #1 Rated MW for the last 2-3 years.. Jacobs was the only #2 Rated MW GGG ever fought.
    Lemiuex was top 5. Murray lower end of the top 10

    It still stands that he never beat a #1 Rated MW. You said he beat many of them.

    Was speaking more along the lines of consensus. If you go back to lineal terms GGG wasn't even the champ. But he was the consensus champ in the eyes of the media, fans and fighters.

    BJS even said in a matter of fact tone about GGG when he was in his prime a few years ago that "GGG knocks out me and Eubank Jr. out on the same night". And he wasn't even joking. That's the respect that GGG had years ago as a dominant champion. That's why he received so many threads and praise. Because everybody knew that you fight this man at 160 you're getting KTFO.

    You don't really have concrete data to support this. In general, and we have to generalize everything, Golovkin gets more holes poked in his resume because there's more people claiming he's P4P #1 than there is Crawford. You see it the opposite because you like Golovkin more so the hate stands out to you more. But that's just the way it is; the higher you climb, the more people want to pull you down. In fact, the amount of hate you receive is often a good indication of your success, you're doing something right.

    A Mayweather fan will say Floyd gets hated on the most. A Pacquiao fan will say Pacquiao gets hated on the most.

    This one's easy.

    Unifying
    Crawford is very likely to unify this year. Golovkin postponed negotiations, whether you feel legit or not, to get a cash grab with Canelo.

    Age
    I never said or implied Crawford is a "young pup" or "prospect". But he's currently 29 to Golovkin's 35. That's 6 years, and they've accomplished about the same amount of work, give or take.

    Weight
    Crawford has already moved up once, and is young enough to move again, and he will move to 147. Golovkin on the other hand, will likely NOT move up at all. Crawford is likely to be a 3 weight division champ to Golovkin's 1.

    I'm not saying Crawford is better, just countering your points.

    Who gives a ****? None of those guys were worth a damn that he fought. Monore Jr. Wade you talking about trash like them? What rating was Brook at 160? What about Rosado at 160? GGG's resume is a cruel joke for someone who's 35 and has as much hype as him and has been in the game as long as he has. Lemieux paper champ? Murray never even won a world title and Jacobs never rated by anyone here almost forgotten about expected to get destroyed. All of a sudden GGG goes life and death with him and he's some legit fighter. Funny how that works. Crawford is 29 and his resume is superior.

    Ishida never quit like a little ho. Who's Farenas? Who's Castellanos?

    Answer:

    Both no namers; the former took Shamboa deep and the latter brutally beat down and retired Shamboa!

    You're welcome.

    Are you new here? People talking about G like he's a god! Some even said he' s the greatest middle weight period. It doesn't take a genius to realize when such statements are made, that fans will naturally ask who has he fought! Understand? I have not read any posts that say Crawford brutilizes Duran at 140. Yet a thread was made about G brutilizimg Hagler. You starting to get the picture? G's fans are his worst enemy! The man is a great talent, but any fighter will get the same flack he has gotten when their over the top fans make ridiculous claims like they do with G!
