So many of the fights were "NO DECISION" in those days it's actually quite impressive to get a win at all.
Put a 213 pound or whatever (no weigh limit) Jimmy Young in the ring with Golovkin's opponents (who all have to be 160 or less the day before)...
Winning fights is the only thing that matters. Fighters shouldn't get ranked based on an admirer telling the world they have "talent". It is...
His wins are Ken Norton and Jimmy Young. Norton had 1-1-1 in his last 3 fights. Young had lost 4 of his last 7 fights.
