    to be fair, yes it is too early to judge 3G's power at top level based on three or four fights.

    Out of his top level ifghts (number 1 world title contender or above) he has -

    ko7 lemmy
    won UD jacobs
    draw Canman
    loss Canman

    Thats still a 25% KO ratio at top level, which is good, and 50% win ratio which is fair.

    Lets wait till he adds more top level SMW fights before we judge him.Wait till he ifghta 6 or 7 or 8. 3 top level opponent is too small a sample size to judge.

    Then, trust me, you will see 3G's top level KO ratio rise above 25% and win ratio above 50%. I know that 3G can KO more than 1 top level guy -we just gotta give him time to continue his career, not judge him on part of it.

    It means Golovkin's knockout power was exposed at the 'elite level' to be practically nonexistent.

    well lets be fair, if you've only fought one elite, how on earth can u make the judgement that he cant knock out ALL elites?

    Thats ridiculous using ONE tiny evidence as evidence for ALL. You must see that?

    I also consider Daniel Jacobs an 'elite' boxer. Thus, there have been two 'elite' level opponents Golovkin has failed to stop.

    Until Golovkin does, I'm going to have to rate him as a feather fist at that level. If he proves otherwise in the future, then I'll upgrade my rating of him. But as of now, I can't give him credit for feats he hasn't shown or achieved yet. That'd be UNFAIR!

    jacobs has prove himself world class by beating other world class, but to go elite means at least beating the world champs, the next level. We'll see. He might prove himself elite one day.
