    excpet take the unified lineal and wb crowns. to date ggg had taken the ibf crown.




    true he had better rating in a magazine



    ggg first title taken in the ring aged 34, thats when he was relevant from. froch earlier, thats why he fought more.

    Froch clearly has the better resume, he had the benefit of fighting in a more stacked division which mean you could fight more big names.

    Golovkin didn't have this luxury like Froch he never ducked anyone and fought the best available but the difference was his division wasn't littered with big names, so I don't think you can put that against GGG but then again you can't say he has a better resume.

    As for H2H, hard to say who wins. Golovkin's power was negated by the defence of Canelo and while Froch is practically unmissable he's the one guy around then I could see eating GGG's bombs and not flinching. Both had good jabs, though Froch was rangier but I see Golovkin getting inside on Froch if he starts losing the battle of the jabs, but then GGG really isn't an inside fighter, he'd end up fighting at Froch's range a lot of the time. Froch might be the one guy Golovkin doesn't want to end up in a battle of attrition with.

    No. Triple G had to give Jacobs way more than his fair share of the purse to persuade him to take the fight. And this was the mandatory challenger.

    Your boy spent two years trying to get a middleweight title fight not at middleweight, then insisted on coming to the ring last despite being the challenger.

    Them's the facts. And those were just the fighters who he eventually did tempt into the ring. Darren Barker's trainer, for example, flat out refused to even consider the idea.

    its a bizarre thing that not only did froch fight and beat better smws than ggg best mws, he also beat more better mws than ggg too.

    gggs best mw wins - mw contender jacobs, mw titlist lemmy

    frochs mw elites - long term champ abe, undisputed mw champ taylor. better scalps by far, though they were of courses smw by then.

    That was directed to Isal... And i didn't move anything. No one ever considered beating Lacy a great win FFS...

    you were told lacy win means u r serious as a smw, not that lacy was great.

    now u changed it to be a claim lacy was great win.

    Changed? That was a simple mistake. Jesus....you are overly defensive aren't ya?

    Beating Jeff Lacy does NOT make you a serious SprMW. Better? WHat a joke..trying to tout Lacy as a serious win... trolly troll..

    Resume wise, Froch. As for who's the better fighter - GGG.

    Why can't you G stans be honest?

    So what if Jacobs was asking for more. He played his cards well. It's not like it was unreasonable. WHO else asked for more than what they were worth?? Oh yeah, Golovkin when he fought Canelo.

    Canelo had his first MW defense in May 2016. In April 2017 Canelo had signed to fight GGG that Sept. Tell me how that is two years?

    Other fighters who called out GGG or were more than willing to fight him but GGG refused are:

    Erislandy Lara (who I'm sure you thought beat Canelo)
    Austin Trout (who you probably also believe beat Canelo)
    Andre Ward @ 168
    Sergeyi Derevyenchnko (GGG got stripped for refusing him)
    Jermall Charlo who supposedly doesn't bring enough money to the table to fight GGG

    its serious enough to be Joe C's 2nd best SMW win, ok, but not enough for Taylor to be a a solid SMW entry win... you've dug enough holes for my liking, you are let off now.

    he was using it to put down Groves, if you'd paid attention like everyone else.
