    No way in hell does Thurman have a better resume than Golovkin. That's absurd. Guerrero is Thurman's ONLY Top 10 victory.

    Golovkin has Stevens, Macklin, Geale, Rubio, Murray. Everyone except Stevens was Top 5.

    Bunch of hypebeasts, you tools. Lacking any sort of perspective.

    This is clearly NOT true. Thurman is visibly the better fighter.

    Silly question.

    Thurman is 26 with 25 fights.

    GGG is 32 with 32 fights.

    The general thrust is correct, but when was Stevens ever top 5??

    Even Rubio is a bit of a stretch

    I don't think being a 4 division champ should matter. The only thing that should matter is how good he is as a WW because that is the weight Thurman fought him at.

    GGG. His resume has more recognizable names, and rated fighters.

    Everyone Thurman has faced is past it or losers except for Chaves, Bundu and Guerrero.
    Everyone GGG has faced are all similar Chaves Bundu Guerrero level fighters, So GGG takes it.

    Quantity as well as quality are on GGG's side at this this stage.

    At 147 Guerreros best achievement is a close win over Berto and he's struggled against pretty average competition. Murray has put in much better performances at MW than Guerrero has at WW and he should have been world champ after getting jobbed in Argentina. Your definition of what a journeyman is must be way off.

    Exposure. It's a lot of bollox.

    Guerrero is more well known but the better win is Murray.

    Golovkin by quite a wide margin.

    Why do people act like Guerrero is some world level fighter just cause he fought floyd GTFO he would lose to everyone in the top 10 of the welterweight division, he barely got passed Selcuk Aydin ffs and Aydin is hardly European level.

    Both of their records are pretty thin

    Guerrero win is better than Murray win to me

    But either way its definitely close imo

    Sorry when did Guerrero become a 4 weight world champion, last time i checked he only won the title in two divisions. I did't know we consider Interim titles as world a title now.

    guerrero by himself is far better than anybody on ggg's resume...clearly thurman has a better resume.
