    He was already avoided in his late 20's by Sturm, Geale and Mundine

    I don't have him ranked in my top 10 not based on H2H either.

    And whilst people can rate him highly H2H if they want, theres over 20 Middleweights that could've beaten Golovkin. The Middleweight has alot of deep history with very strong fighters.

    I think there are 11 middles that are clearly greater than him, and two that are probably greater than him.

    How many Eurasian Kings have these supposedly ''greater'' MWs beaten?

    Hagler?
    Monzon?
    Greb?
    SRR?

    I've scanned through their entire respective records and I couldn't find a single Eurasian King in their combined 666 fights. Hmm..

    Like him or not BHop had whiskers. Dont see him succumbing to GGGs power but def think GGG dictates pace for awhile depending on how hurt/discouraged he got from counters

    you gotta give GGG a bump up or two in the rankings for being the only guy to bring the "big drama show."

    nah, bhop would be in full control. Hed do whatever he wants. box from the outside or take it inside and dominate.

    The 90s era of MWs were crazy stacked but Golo would give them all a rought night, IMO besides maybe McCallum and Roy Jones. People have Lamotta and Ketchel in their top top 10. Golo would knock their heads off.

    There was a window when GGG could have fought Martinez in a massive middleweight fight. A win there could have given him a massive boost.

    As good as GGG looked in the ring, his resume is not that good and it's hard to place him in the top 10 based on that.

    Not sure why people are talking about China here. Yes I love my Chinese brothers but they are not my Eurasian brothers. Eurasian Kings like GGG are blessed with both Bruce Lee Asian Chi-Force shocking power and Russian bear nuclear holocaust power.

    Take another Eurasian King like Bivol. He's one deep Eurasian brother like GGG but he was blessed with Soviet bear strength and poker face and Asian ninja precision, and snake speed and mongoose reflexes.

    Both Kings but with different attributes
