    Rosado was vaporized in 2 rounds by slow motion pinata Angulo.

    Macklin:-(
    Did you see his last fight??

    Stevens stuck around long enough to expose serious flaws sending GG's team back to the drawing board and fighting off TV.

    GG just recently fought Rosado...Charlo is fighting him next.

    It looks bad when one of your best wins is being used by a greenhorn.

    i think he is not his fault though I just think some people are rating him a bit too high for example Lampley putting him ahead of Rigodeaux when Rigo clearly has a far better resume as well as some of his fans especially here. I think hes the real deal its just we cannot rate him anywhere near top 10-15 p4p until he has fights more meaningful opponents

    What does that have to do with right now? I love watching "The beast from the Far East", but as of now many are talking like he's an ATG and he hasn't beaten anyone yet. I think he'll become lineal, I also think he's the best in the division. That doesn't mean he doesn't have to prove it.

    I thought Floyd won but I didn't think it was that bad. I seen worse at the London Olympics.

    Yes he has to prove it but other people also have to prove they're the best by beating him. I don't think it's GGG ducking the other MW's. Nobody can force someone to fight them. All GGG can do is fight the guys willing to fight him and beat them more impressively than others do. That is another way to rate fighters, by their performances. Floyd and Pac never fought but people rated one over the other based on their performances.

    I don't agree, who has Floyd beaten-? What other ATG has Floyd beaten in their prime? Oscar got robbed beating Mosley in their 2nd fight and Trinidad, but he also beat Pernel whitaker at the end of Pernell prime, but he was still rated P4P #1 in the world. Not to mention Vargas, Quartey,PRIME, undefeated Genaro Hernandez who floyd claims is his own best victory -- an oscar left over! LOL Oscar was only truly beaten once in his prime against mosley in their first fight.
    Oscars resume destroys floyds, all Floyd has is his "0" yet hasnt even had one career defining fight. When history looks back and see's his shallow resume, he won't be regarding as high in the list. He didnt take all comers, hes cherry picked his way through beating up some good fighters for their decade but wheres the mega fights? Floyd vs Canelo LOL, is like Oscar vs. Mayorga, and that is as good as it gets for Floyd.

    People are jumping the gun yes but it's always the way when boxers are winning by ko/tko.
