    with Golovkin's now, before he's gotten his lineal shot. Whose resume do you prefer overall and why? As big a difference as they are in age and time in the game as pros and amateurs, you've got Foreman at 37-0 with 34 KO's, and Golovkin at 35-0 with 32 KO's. What say you?

    Frazier thought of Foreman's opponents in disdain. Then Frazier is bouncing off the canvas 6 times. Probably GGG has had a couple more opponents that could actually threaten him than Foreman did...in comparison.

    Golovkin, hands down. No offense to Clarence Boone, Stamford Harris, or Ollie Wilson.

    Like Tunney did for Dempsey, Foreman was being prepared "long haul" to fight Frazier....Foreman got the window of opportunity and took advantage of it.

    No one can seriously argue Foreman has a better pre title resume.

    I watched both of the Peralta fights.....and unfortunately for George, Ali did too...but no one at the time knew what it meant.

    You're not seriously arguing it though.

    However, you are seriously arguing that you're seriously arguing.

    So what if I think Golovkin sparks Jersey Joe?

    Justify ranking Foreman's pre title resume above Golovkin's, por favor.

    Was Peralta and Chuvalo both in the top 10 when George beat them? In that case I think they were the only ones of his pre-title opponents.

    Golovkin must have beat more ranked guys than that surely? And higher ranked guys.
