    Yep, he lost a close barn burner with Barker, he stopped Karmazin in the 12th, and defeated Sylvester officially too. I underestimated him because for the most part, the first time i saw him was vs GGG.

    It was the first time i saw GGG and you cant ask for a more impressive introduction to an American audience.

    He beat Canelo in both fights. Boxing, or chasing Canelo around the ring.

    Canelo moved up 2 division's because he is the bigger fighter.

    I had Golovkin beating Canelo in the first fight clearly. But his resume is very thin. Barely beat Jacobs and Derev too. He was a good fighter but very overrated. Middleweight was a horrid division.

    I just dont get how you can rate a fight you actually think he lost, as his second best win.

    You mean if we are to ignore what actually happens in the ring and just go by the weight of the name?

    Little Floyd beat Canelo, Bivol schooled Canelo.

    Golovkin went life and death with Canelo, and Canelo retired him too. Facts

    He should have 2 official wins over Canelo but not counting them I’d go with the following.
    1. Jacobs
    2. Sergei D
    3. Murata
    4. Lemieux
    5. Murray

    One post above you said you cant see how a fight he didnt win would rank high yet you do the same thing.

    a) He said he thought G lost the SD fight.

    b) He then ranks the SD win as his second best win.

    c) So I reply, how can you rate a fight you felt he lost, as one of his best wins. Doesnt really make sense unless you're not taking into account what actually happened in the ring and are going by paper and names only.


    ....

    Golovkin vs Canelo.

    - I had Golovkin clearly beating Canelo.

    - Therefore I have it as his best win.

    - So I am not rating a fight I felt he lost, as a win.


    The two arent the same thing.


    Get it now?

    Not EXACTLY the same but in the same universe.

    Seems a little hypocritical imo but whatever.
    I thought he beat Canelo aswell but he didnt get his hand raised.

    If you think its hypocritical then you dont get it. The two are nothing alike.

    The point was rating a loss as a good win. Makes no sense.

    Since G officially won the SD fight, I am obviously talking about losses to our own view.

    Golovkin won the Canelo fight clearly to me, hence I am rating a Golovkin win, not a Golovkin loss. Like I was referring to and making my post about.


    For someone that likes to spam about how not smart I am, you have a lot of comprehension issues.

    I didnt say you spammed how smart you are. I said, you spammed how not smart I am.

    Again, the comprehension.

    And Im not emotional. Dont confuse a simple observation with getting emotional.
