    A huge difference in money and prestige. Even if he stops both B-Hop and Ward early on and back to back he won't get near the money and recognition he would if he would draw or edge the smaller Floyd.

    That's just the way how things work.

    Triple GGG is a solid fighter but i just don't see how you guys have him beating the like of Floyd , lara and any other one of these "A" class fighters. I believe he's developing into something special but you dude take it to far. When the quality of fighters improve, there we will see how solid he really is.

    No one among Golovkin fans is pushing for a Floyd fight or for him to compete at 154. That's the "Murricans" and people from across the Atlantic's doing, who for some reason can't handle the Kazakh's success.

    As for Lara, which of his 154 performances makes him a favorite if Golovkin moved down : being outhustled by King Carlos or getting beat up by Angulo ?
    People pairing him and Floyd like they're on the same level must be joking.

    Sweeping generalization not in line with why people are critical of Golovkin. Being from a certain part of the world is irrelevant to 9 out of 10 critics on here, it's the frenetic hype over beating nobodys that's odd and irritates people.

    Shhhhhhh...

    The Golovtards consider it blasphemy whenever someone mentions Ward's name...

    When did I bypass Quillin?

    I'm on record saying Quillin beats TOMATOdy GolovCAN. I'm also on record saying a healthy Martinez beats him.

    The only reason why GolovCAN hasn't come close to losing is because the quality of his opposition SUCKS. The guys is the most protected fighter in boxing since Pacquiao.

    At this point of the division, probably. The division's in a rather mediocre state sadly.

    As said by another poster, resumes don't fight.

    -Golovkin cuts the ring off better than any of May/Lara's recent opponents
    -Golovkin has a better engine and better accuracy than any of May/Lara's recent opponents

    Using the above, Golovkin lands at some point. It's not like May/Lara's recent opponents have not landed at all either, but Golovkin has the potential to surpass that considerably. Says Sanchez, "I would just have to drop him sooner". Say he's not drained... that's a shitload of power for 154, nevermind a small guy like Floyd.



    It all doesn't matter because those fights will never happen.
