    So, you missed Brook, Rubio, and Szeremeta, all Ring top 10. He is 12-2-1 with (10) ko's against Rings top 10. Robberies and all.

    No , Kell never made the P4P list.

    He had a run of poor opponents after beating Porter.
    Jo Jo Dan
    Frankie Gavin
    Kevin Bizer
    Not the the calibre of wins to put somebody on the P4P list

    Anyway, GGG was a MW and Brook was a career Welter. Bully boy cherry picking is what that was. Greats look up for challenges , not down.

    Yet Monzone gets cretit for defeating
    All but two of them were by devastating KO. That also matters.

    When Ward was spouting his garbage he claimed he offered GGG @ 168 No serious offer was made. GGG's answer when asked said " "Sure at c/w 164 " Ward couldn't have made 168 let alone 164 lol. It was Ward the Head butting, Testes bashing dirtiest player in the game that dropped out. He robbed Kovalev when he should have got DQ'd himself , then retired to avoid Beterbiev, Bivol etc GGG would have kicked his butt

    ??? Kell Brook the 147er at 160? Rubio? Szermeta? Those were all awful fights.

    And why is it every GGG stan focuses on Canelo fights but ignores beneficial judging of Jacobs and Dervenchenko fights?? Why does Andre Ward duck get a pass? Why does GGG not get any blame for Canelo fight taking too long? Canelo initially wanted a CW but GGG refused so it delayed another year...partially GGGs fault...GGG offered Rosado 158lb catchweight years prior so what changed??

    I see that you still haven't gotten past the first sticking point for your argument

    Until it comes to Hopkins and Trinidad. Then this reasoning is forgotten :deal:

    One of Hopkins title defense wins was a no contest, does that even count? If not he's down to 19.

    While its true that Ward ducked Golovkin by demanding and then refusing a fight at 168, that fight would have had little impact on Golovkin's legacy at 160.

    I still haven't seen you addressing their resumes past the defenses thing. The only thing you've done close to that is mocking Hopkins's wins and era, as if the Middleweight wasteland of the last 10 years was any better. Hopkins literally has both the better top wins, and a deeper resume against ranked men.

    Apparently the NC is a legit defence. Golovkin's draw against Canelo is likewise a defence of his belts.

    GGG smashed the courageous Geale who beat the courageous Sturm to unify, both of who ran for the hills when GGG'S name was mentioned. Start making some sense.
