    My assessment is pathetic??. At least I have one. All you can do is ask me questions and complain about what i think. Its not about me , but i guess you find i easier to attack rather than come up with a meaningful counter argument.

    When GGG was beating little kids in 3 round amateur bouts , Froch was in real fights getting bashed up by the likes of Dale Waterman and Charles Adamu before he even reached world level.
    Your guy Golovkin is fresh as a daisy and will continue on boxing , just not against anybody with a pulse. He certainly won't get in the ring and dispatch young dangerous guys coming up like Froch did.

    Based on who Trout has beat and how highly he was thought of as a fighter when compared to Jacobs. When Trout beat Cotto it was a big deal and he was highly regarded, Jacobs was never highly regarded and his biggest win is Peter Quillen.

    Cotto is a good name but I'd take Jacobs over Cotto as Well.

    Also besides that 1 victory he's only ever beaten journeymen and lost every time he stepped up.

    THE fact that you are bragging about Froch getting bashed up by Dale Waterman and Adamu doesn't really strength his case really does it.

    You're wrong in thinking I was bragging about it.

    But world class fighters shouldn't be getting bashed up by that type of opposition.

    He wasn't world class at that point in his carrer.

    I just cannot recall GGG ever struggling at any point in his career with fighters of that ilk....interesting.

    no, he did well with quillin and showed he was world class, but never elite. if he'd kept up the quillin momentum then it might have happened but it didnt. I can understand your zeal if you are a big "Jacobite" but you mustnt let that cloud your definition of what elite is. Look at me, I never considered GGG elite UNTIL the moment he stepped out of the ring with draw from elite Clenelo. Thisis what you should do, withold judgement until it happens.

    however good choice of opponent by GGG, the number 1 contender for that belt at the time.

    It would be nice to think Lemmy was elite but...i dunno. we shall see - if he comes back and adds those world class skulls and can match an elite then mayeb he will turn out an elite too. I hope so, cos GGG's stock rises.

    I would concede that before clenelo, Jacobs was the closest 3G came to elite. but not the definitive article.

    The one guy was injured, that doesn't even count. Centeno was no worse than Rosado, Rubio, Wade, Monroe etc. so cut the crap. If Golovkin has balls, he will take his retirement party from Charlo, like a man.

    I'm speculating, but Charlo is likely better than every one of Golovkin's opponents to date.

    THE exact level of fights idiots like you claim GGG feasted on yet they enforce Charlo as a legitimate threat.

    Also Rubio, Rosado and Monroe have fought better opposition than the fighters you mentioned and Wade was a mandatory.
