    Call me when Munguia actually has a belt, like Murata.

    It was actually about 90% on the ESB poll.

    Light middleweight is not middleweight

    So what, Murata has a murderous row of victims like Brant and ndam. Munguia would feast on those guys!:lol:

    Munguia looked like crap against Tureano Johnson. He's got some way to go before he feasts on anybody.

    As mentioned, I can understand why you would want that to be a true comparison.

    Macklin gave an ageing Martinez some trouble before being KO'd, doesn't say much. Certainly wasn't life and death.

    But perhaps you mean Murray? Cotto came around in the next fight and showed how much was left at Martinez at that stage.

    If it was a competitive fight where Geale faded down the stretch, sure question could be asked whether he was weakened by cutting a lot.. But it wasn't. He was utterly dominated. By small, old Cotto.

    Golovkin had 9 defenses.

    I'm very sorry HBO lied to you and you failed for it.

    I’m not going to do your homework for you, but I’ve already done it in the past and yes, ring magazine is the source of my information. Many of them were in the bottom 10 of the ring magazine rankings. I don’t care if you don’t believe me you can look for it yourself.

    Canelo was moving up in weight from 154.

    It was Canelo's first real fight at 160, against the Champion.

    Canelo arguably won the first four rounds and arguably won the last three. You can make a case for Golovkin winning.. ok, but it was a close fight.

    Golovkin's best fight is having a close fight against a Jr.MW. lol

    Derevyanchenko beat Golovkin, but Golovkin was the benefactor of A side privileges.

    Anyone that says GGG dominated a fight where he was outlanded in power punches is either a troll or lying to themselves.
