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

    The two Canelo wins for starters. Then go from there, then you have look at the way GGG wins.

    GGG is the Sun, and Saunders is Pluto, which isn't even a planet anymore.

    When both were undefeated as well
    it's not necessarily what I want to put, I just gave 5 as an example but wrote, put what you think
    O Sullivan was also undefeated I believe, when Saunders fought him
    Which 15 wins of Golovkins do you rate higher?

    I think it is debatable as well. Please read that I wrote, whatever you think.
    Still you note Macklin and comment about Saunders beating fighters at British level but that is where Macklin picked up some losses

    Not sure I agree but either way, that doesn't matter.
    So what are your 5 top wins for Golovkin?

    I'm not asking about avoiding or better fighters. Just win resume

    I was answering a question from another poster, not addressing your initial post.

    Please note
    I wrote win resume, not who you think is better

    Why do you rate the win over Rubio who had lost several times previously as greater than beating undefeated Eubank jnr or the win over Macklin as greater than beating Lee?

    Lee was a world champ at that time

    The thing is not that we look at the 'top 5 wins' and compare them and say "hmmm they are close-ish". It's that GGG's next 5 wins are as good and possibly the next 5 as well.

    Jacobs
    Derevyanchenko
    Lemieux
    Murray
    Rubio
    Geale
    Brook
    Martirosiyan
    Stevens
    Macklin
    Proksa
    Rosado

    Are all solid wins and good opponents. The lower stringers like Adama, Ouma are not bad names either. Even if you ignore the defence against Canelo, that's a stiff lineup right there.

    Saunders might have done greater things if he'd been more serious about his career. Instead Spike o Sullivan is one of his top 5 wins. Sad.
