Golovkin on the cusp of being the greatest ever MW?

On what the hell basis is that.
GGG has almost exclusively power he is not a silky smooth boxer.

 

GGG has the potential to be the GOAT at 160 but he
hasn't the accolades to be anointed that yet. He's as
intelligent in the ring as any middle ever and hits as hard
as the killers like monzon. Whatever he accomplishes or
doesn't, he's a joy to watch for the purists and is much
see TV.

 

At this point Andrade is just as proven as GGG which is not very much GGG just has the hype. You maybe right about needing a bit more experience between the two I favor Andrade due to size, athleticism, & style. Canelo I'd favor because he's sinply a better boxer imo also his big fight experience..

 

GGG had to be tested a few times, to see if he can over come adversity to determine how great he really is, until then he's just a good MW.

 

Get the **** out.

 

You have just showed everyone on this site that YOU DONT KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING!

 

This all damn day!

 

How can you say that?

 

Geale and Rubio were both ranked top 5 (Ring Magazine).

 

Agree they have better wins but Golovkin is the better fighter/boxer

 

I agree with what you wrote, but would bet the farm on GGG over Ketchel. The other fights could go either way.

 

Look at some of the guys Hagler struggled with that were lower tier fighters, he was a mean, badass fighter with a great chin and relentless offense, but he wasn't a master tactician.

Golovkin may not have the chin, or the will to win like Hagler, but technique wise - he does things Hagler would never have even thought of. Hagler fought Angry, Golovkin is composed and much better at setting guys up, avoiding shots, countering, and catching the runners.

Hagler wasn't a very good amateur, he could out-tough anyone that wanted to bang, but he didn't know how to capture and evade the slick fighters.

Golovkin may not be as tough or strong, but he certainly has more skills to work with.

 

Geale and Macklin were legit top 5 guys, due to the near deplorable state of the division.

I don't care what Ring Magazine said, Rubio was not even a top 10 Middleweight in my opinion and if he was in anyones' opinion, they better have had him in their ass end ass end of the top 10 MW.

Geale is clearly his best win. And even then, he was less than a year removed from getting bested in an upset against Darren Barker himself.

 

atsch Lets not get carried away :deal

 

With respect Smoak, and I consider you a fairly educated Flomo, your opinion pales in significance compared with that of Ring Magazine whose rankings echo within the history of the sport.

Golovkin has beaten two top 5 opponents, and five top 10 opponents.

Proksa #9
Macklin #6
Stevens #9
Geale #2
Rubio #5

Next opponent: Murray #6
