    Wait...there is a large difference between their resumes. They’re close at 160, but Hopkins is in a totally different league if you include his work above 160.

    Golovkin has a LONG way to go to reach Hopkins accomplishments.

    We're talking about them at 160. Obviously Hopkins achieved more if you look at what he did above 160.

    Not at 160, a proper W against Canelo would’ve made them about even right now, give it 3-4 more fights (fingers crossed BJS is one of them) and he’s ahead. Out side 160, sure.

    At 160 GGG has arguably passed what Hopkins has done.

    Hopkins made a career of beating C/D level opposition and GGG wouldn't need 3 fights to prove he's better than Robert Allen, like Hopkins did.

    Also people may deride Golovkin's opposition at least he wasn't going 12 rounds with D level opposition like Hopkins did and he also didn't draw with a fighter on the level of Mercado.

    so I would say that you are way off mark there.

    fro someone with less than half the defences of hopkins its a bold claim.

    I am fairly sure something has been lost in translation - no way 3G says something so obtuse, hes a humble man.

    he'd be half way, but I trust 3G to notch up another 10 and draw with hopkins.

    however we cant make up results for him, thats an insult to 3G. He will make them himself, like any winning boxer would. Try not to insult his good name, my man, thanks.

    Instead, trust in the power of 3G. And if you trust then you will believe. Drink it up, people.
