    It's about skill set, period. Not resume etc.

    It's about fantasy actually. I mean if they are all to be the same size, what size are we talking? I mean the concept itself!! loolz if Wlad was a Fw that would make him much quicker and his skillset would adjust accordingly same goes for Rigo as a HW he'd be slower and a bigger target.. The notion is actually silly really and flawed! So don't tell me what's its about period when it's an intangible & subjective concept and ultimately a load of bullock's. Why its took years for people to see this ill never know.. I just have fun with it.

    ggg shouldn't be in the top 10 p4p. He's HBO's most hyped guy so that's why he's in there. Boxing politics.

    HBO thinks the General Public is dumber than what they really are. Yes the casual fan is usually an ignorant fan, but even casuals can read and see how pathetic Ggg's resume is. Hence the reason he baely did 850K in his very last HBO televised fight against his most popular opponent.

    You realize that you need to showcase your skillset against Top level opposition to gauge it and compare it to other fighters right?

    Anyone can look impressive KO bums, has-beens, and low level opponents.

    Completely this. I also find it amusing how people argue over this ish like it has any meaning at all. No-one can even agree on a definition or a judgement criteria for fucks sake. It's basically a 'fighters I like plus a few I grudgingly admit are pretty good so people will take me seriously' list in most cases.

    Perhaps a few of them should start doing it then, rack up a 91% KO rate and maybe HBO will give them the hype too. Just sayin.

    I mean what size are we having em Koba? MW? LW? Wouldn't being a different size alter a fighters skillset anyway? You work to your advantages...

    Being 18 stone would totally alter Pac for instance lol

    You obviously DKSAB.

    There are plenty of guys out there who have similar KO%, if not higher, but they are not the right size, color, have a cute face and or have very popular arch rivals like Golovkin enjoys.

    Edwin Valero never got this kind of hype, and he was much better at being a KO artist than Ggg is.

    You realize that if Ggg retires without facing an elite fighter, he will be lucky to get into the HoF.

    It seems only Ggg fans seem to think he is GREATER and bigger than what he really is.

    You're absolutely right, I DKSAB, I only come here to poke fun at dudes like you if I'm honest. But I'm not honest so I might be lying about one or both of the above. You pick.:D

    The only way to prove your skillset is by beating quality opposition. So in reality, resume is everything. GGG fans tend to ignore this.

    There ya go. This man Knows Sh1t About Boxing. It says so in his name. Unfortunately the only way of objectively comparing resumes across weightclasses is sh1t like Boxrec and they just suck carrots.
