    How far apart do you feel Golovkin and Saunders are in resume?

    Im not asking who you think is the better fighter but in resume. Say if you took the top 5 wins for either.
    I know some wins become thought of as better or worse as time goes on but how far apart do you think they are with their win resumes

    Golovkin arguably top 5 wins (or whatever you would put down as)

    Jacobs
    Derevyanchenko
    Lemieux
    Geale
    Brook


    Saunders arguably top 5 wins (or whatever you would put down as)

    Lee
    Eubank Jnr
    Ryder
    Lemieux
    O'Sullivan



    I think it looks fairly close. Golovkin a fighter with many MW title wins and Saunders a 2 weight champ

    GGG by a mile.

    Saunders resume is paper thin. It as thin as a Minimumweight. Overall it's a pathetic resume.

    Ridiculous to mention Golovkin's resume without factoring in he was stiffed twice by the MW Ed Sheeran.. Saunders is a tit who wasted his talent. Golovkin has a way better resume. Saunders a two weight champ thing is meaningless too .. look who he fought for it .. Saunders' later career is a ****ing embarrassment to be honest.. when he should have been peaking he looked like shyte, except for maybe one performance

    Why do you feel the resume is so much greater? What particular wins

    This wasnt the question and im not out to dispute your opinions on this, just with wins on paper, whos do you think is the greater and due to which wins. Forget the Alvarez fights with Golovkin. However you may feel about them, they were scored a draw and loss, so with win resumes, whos do you think is the greater. Not which fighter you think is the greater

    Their resumes are close only if you don't consider that GGG was the deserved winner in both fights against Canelo.

    the list you posted so Ryder and eubanks he fought both of them when he and them were at British level. Spike O Sullivan wouldn’t even be in golovkin’s best 15 wins if you want to put that in top 5 as well of Saunders.

    also I don’t think brook is one of golovkin’s five best wins the version of Matthew macklin he beat was better than brook.

    they have similar names like monroe jr who actually I would put in Saunders best win because that was at world level and Martin Murray but look at how golovkin looked absolute levels above them both looked great against Lemieux though I grant you that.

    golovkin was avoided Saunders just couldn’t keep his nose clean.

    I’m not shitting on Saunders either he was extremely talented but golovkin’s resume is so much deeper than Saunders and he’s soon to add Murata to it who is world level middleweight.

    They aren't that far apart, but it is to be expected since this era does not have a lot of established names.

    Its difficult because there is no doubt that GGG was avoided namely Sturm in Germany so his World title fight happened later , then Darren Barker had the belt & when GGG was next he retired ...

    So best fighter & pressure fighter The G man all day
    Master technician elusive sweet mover BJS

    GGG 19
    BJS 10...

    Golovkins is much better than Saunders.

    Golovkins resume "sucks" when people talk about him as an ATG and a legend who would KO Marciano in three minutes but when comparing him to the mighty Billy Hoe Saunders... just no.

    A good deal apart. Even if you respect the official scorecards, GGG’s “draw” against Canelo is probably enough to put him ahead of Saunders. Saunders can call himself 2 division world champion, but we all know his “championship” at 168 is less meaningful than Golovkin’s “interim” WBA championship around 2010-2012.

    Also, Ryder getting a decision over well faded Jacobs doesn’t mean anything for Saunders, which I’m guessing is what this thread is about. The actual correlation between Saunders and Jacobs is that Hearn tried to make a fight between the two a couple of years ago for BJS’s WBO middleweight belt and Billy priced himself out.

    Golovkins is much better and has a better resume. Saunders haven't even stopped one top fighter.
    Saunders was stopped by Canelo. Golovkin beat Canelo twice.
    Golovkin's wins vs Rubio and Macklin are better than wins vs Lee, Eubank jr and O'Sullivan
