    The fact that Chang amassed a deeper resume in a division far less historically talented than middleweight certainly reflects poorly on Triple Myth. No middleweight great should have a resume inferior to a junior flyweight great (105-108 shouldnt even exist, imo), but Golovkin managed to do so...

    However, in Golovkin's defense, he should have two wins over the freckle faced fraud. The first fight being an absurd robbery.

    Still, his career was a disappointment.

    I hold Chang in higher regard, even though his prime was extremely brief.

    I had GGG up twice, but there were enough swing rounds in both fights where the official result is a perfectly legitimate outcome in both cases.

    Anyway, Chang's greater. Zapata p4p is probably as relevant as anyone GGG ever defeated.

    @DrederickTatum Chang is a great fighter to watch. Very entertaining, very skilled.

    Cheers man!

    Just watched a highlight reel and I'm interested, reminds me of a tiny, tiny Joe Frazier.
    His hair is as enthralling as his boxing.

    Gonna watch the Zapata fights tomorrow.

    Well, if you're in for a monster run of awesome fights, I'd say go for the Tokashiki fight first (best fight from him imo), then the Ohashi fights are good. First is an amazing performance whilst the second is a great fight. His best wins, or thereabouts, are probably the Chitalada fights. Both awesome. His final fight was one his best again Muangchai Kittikasem.

    If you can find Torres 1, it's a great performance, so is 3. I've never seen 2 but it's controversial (I think?), then obviously the Zapata fights. The 2nd is probably the best performance below flyweight.

    :lol: I'm glad!

    Chang might actually be the best blend of ability and entertainment I've recommended you so far.

    'Greater' implies that both things being compared are already great. Clearly only one of the two are great. I think we all know who that is.

    :deal:

    A couple of narrow victories over Canelo (which GGG does in fact deserve) would be well & nice, but not legend-makers.

    Chang has overall greater depth.

    I dunno mate, I really liked watching Harada.

    Dude was immensely ****ing talented in a way that I can't really put my finger on, you don't really see many styles like it, it was special.

    Proper fun to watch too, if he tops that I'll be surprised.

    I love Harada. Despite everything he achieved he was still hard done by.

    Harada was as entertaining as as they come, I wish the full Aoki fight was available, the few minutes with have of it basically World War III.

    Chang isn't too dissimilar to Harada actually.

    And the finish would make Julian Jackson blush.
    Absolute mayhem.

    Harada was a class above both Chang and Golovkin.
