How far apart do you feel Golovkin and Saunders are in resume?

    Not close. GGG is the much better fighter who was robbed twice vs. Roidelo.

    Not answering your question. But i think Saunders has a very good chance against GGG. The jacobs fight is a sneak peak and blueprint of a boxer against GGG. I think Saunders is better than Jacobs. Not a perfect analysis but im basing it off How GGG performed against someone with the same Style.

    Ggg has the better resume.

    GGG has the better resume and I wouldn't have Brook as a top 5 win although a good boxer was a career Welter.
    We should also consider that GGG was one of the most avoided fighters until he was in his mid 30's so it's not as deep as it should be considering his reign at Middle. So I can't really blame GGG for that as I believe as a fighter he'd be willing to take on anyone if the other top dogs avoid him. or in the case of Canelo age him out then that's not his fault to be fair.
    Saunders is a lot like Fury in many ways where his resume does not match his clear skills as a boxer and has generally been idle and low effort compared to other champs. He has won belts at two weights but has looked less than convincing at Super Middle again like Fury his conditioning has been poor and has scraped through on skill.
    When we look at the resumes GGG has both better level of competition and more quantity. As if we do a top 10 for both Saunders resume looks weak as within his top 10 would be British level rather than world. If you just do a top 5 it's less obvious but the question is framed as the whole resume and to me that's pretty clear.

    Even the stiffed Draw against Alvarez gives GGG a much better resume IMO.

    As others have said if it wasn't for corruption it wouldn't even be a serious question - and that's also not counting in the amount of times GGG has been ducked.

    It was in response to something someone else said and as you should know, conversation drifts on ESB from the original discussion at times

    No. Just when I have answered you, don't accept you trying to speak for me.
    I think it is you on be the hind legs as you felt a need to try and put forward something that isn't, which often happens when something is irking someone

    I made a statement where I said I felt it could be close in terms of win resume. Not about who I think is greater, but about win resume
    No. I asked the question of what others thought
    I haven't said that anything more than the top 5 can't be added. Far from. I mentioned GGG had many MW wins and the other is a 2 weight champ

    The reason I mentioned what could possibly be deemed as 5 best wins for either is that I have found many times on here that posters tend to rate certain fighters higher for a couple of wins rather than a whole resume, but of course you have to look at everything

    I was really trying to stay on the win resume subject but drifting off

    Wasn't aware of the hydration issue
    Thanks for mentioning

    GGG didn't get the decision in the Alvarez fights. It was win resumes
    You could argue that Saunders beat a fresh Eubank jnr, fresh Ryder, fresh O Sullivan

    This wasn't about who you think is better but about win resumes
