    None, imo.

    I dont consider Jacobs or any other current middleweight true elite. Nor do I the 35 year old inactive Golovkin he beat.

    Id say the closest he can come is if he beats Jacobs.

    Canelo was the one inactive and coming off leg surgery going into the rematch.

    How is that (Canelos condition) relevant though?
    Canelo coming off a suspension for PEDS doesn't magically make Golovkin an elite fighter when they fought.

    It isn't, but the fact remains that Canelo was the inactive fighter, not Golovkin.

    True and GGG was the clean fighter
    I have them 1-1
    Come the 3rd fight Canelo will destroy GGG IMO:headbash

    Fair enough. Seems like an odd hair to split though to imply Golovkin wasnt inactive... probably depends on your definition of active. I wouldnt exactly say fighting two rounds in the year leading into their fight as active... but maybe calling him inactive was a bit too much.

    Canelo began a fight camp for Golovkin 2 but then got suspended, so fought 0 times in between their fight... Golovkin fought once... two rounds. Not that big a difference.

    Regardless... the underlying point of my post remains the same. I dont consider Golovkin elite anymore.

    he probably not 6, but ...
    no sour grapes, friend, he won at least 4 elite bouts, plus dawson arguably elite.

    Dawson was a drained corpse, Kovalev didnt count, Abraham was a bloated up middleweight past his best. Sakio Bika? LOL, two at best.

    sakio bikia isnt elite, but noone said he was. Perhaps you wrote that for fake ammo, since u didnt have any valid point.

    yuh so why come elites dont count as elites when it comes to elite ward beating them.

    Dawson was a drained zombie, and lost afterwards.

    Kovalev already beat Ward.

    See a pattern?
