Golovkin on the cusp of being the greatest ever MW?

It´s an impressive list IMO. And if we look for example Rosado and Ishida we have a bit clearer picture;

P4P 9# fighter Canelo is fighting in his next fight man called Kirkland who was demolished by Ishida in a brutal fashion. Afterwards GGG KO Ishida easily. Kirkland hasn´t done much since Ishida fight.

And what about Rosado? Rosado gave Quillin all that he could handle and more. It happened after Rosado was softened by GGG. Who can say GGG doesn´t have a world class record?

Do you need a win against Cotto to believe? Cotto who his a WW. Like Hopkins when he beat DLH, WW who had lost to Sturm. What a hypocrisy.

 

He can't be the greatest ever MW, there's not enough names for him at middleweight currently. And with someone who preaches about resume as much as you do, you should know this OP.

 

Man, I like Golovkin but the hype train is really going off the rails. I do hope he continues to deliver and has a stellar career.

 

It would have been interesting to have seen how GGG would have got on at MW a few years ago with Hopkins, Holmes, Joppy, Eastman, Echols, Cherifi, McCracken, Simon, Krajnc, Schenk to name just a few. Simon and Hopkins I would possibly favour and a fighter like Eastman I dont think would have been blasted out

 

Again with this ****... What has he done so far to put him near Hagler, Hearns, Monzon, RJJ or Toney? And don't even try to pretend you can even compare his career so far to MW Hopkins or Robinson.
It's guys like the OP that make GGG fans look bad.

 

OP is blinded by man love ...

 

If GGG moved down to 154lbs & beats Canelo & then jumps upto 168 & beats Ward, we'll talk.

 

Hagler struggled in many his fight against below elite level opponents. Somehow people tend to forget these bad nights.

 

I think he just read greatest ever lol

 

His lv of opponants at 160 are non excistant or refused to fight him.
Stick any of the ATG MW vs his resume. Their records would be undeafeated with a high KO ratio.
The other ATG at MW moved weights and fought each other.
Till GGG has somes names on his resume, he's not an ATG.

I think he will one day, till that day... Top ten MW ever, as of this moment.

 

Yes his win over the previously unbeaten Martin Murray will surpass him against the likes of Hopkins Hagler and even the great Carloz Monzon !








Oh wait I almost forgot Murray was beat by Martinez ....Never mind!

 

Toney title fights at 160:

Glenn Wolfe (28-2-1) 12UD
Dave Tiberi (22-2-3) 12SD
Mike McCallum (42-1-0) 12 Draw
Francesco Dell`Aquila (31-1-2) 4TKO
Reggie Johnson (29-1-1) 12SD
Michael Nunn (36-0-0) 11TKO

Its quite a good list but still..Very short and level of competition varies a lot. Then if you add what he was doing before title fight and compare it to GGG resume, picture gets much clearer. You can compare them at MW and you should.

GGG would never struggle with those kind of cab drivers (for example Amundsen, Sosa, Williams).

 

Lets be clear about one thing, Hagler would have dismantled Golovkin.

Golovkin for all his talent and punch power is peaking during an era of poor competition at 160, not his fault but thats how it is.

Wlad is suffering the same problem.

 

So pray tell why you are constantly making predictions about the outcome of Golovkin fights ?

You seemed to have tripped yourself up there old chap.

 

he will be great , how great only time will tell ... bump the thread in 6 or 7 years and we will continue .
