    Who did Hopkins beat at middleweight? A few welterweights with big names. Do you really think Crawford and Spence could do anything with GGG? Other than that he fought B level opponents.

    Vast majority of media, fighters, and fans had GGG winning both fights.

    Golovkin literally fought 3 good opponents (Canelo, Dev and Jacobs) and struggled against all of them

    Hopkins drew with Mercado, lost to Taylor 2x and struggled in a few fights. GGG has beat quite a few good fighters easily not just those but if they're no American he gets no credit.

    In the Mercado fight he wasn't used to the altitude. Taylor was a good fighter, styles make fights so GGG probably beats him but i would favour prime Hopkins to school Dev and Jacobs

    Beat both of them? Yes. Easily I don't think so. Hopkins always used to have some problems with fast agile movers.

    End of I said they're on roughly equal pegging at MW I stand by that and if they both fought in their primes I'd expect it to go right to the wire and be a very close fight.

    No he struggled against athletic fighters with fast hands, like RJJ and Taylor

    Great Post That tells it like it is !!!! Anyone that fought Floyd or Canelo has had to fight them, The NSAC, Vegas boxing & officials all together . Not one was ever given a fair crack of the whip

    GGG is an ATG MW period.
    You don’t need to look at Rolls vs Bologna for validation amigo.
