    No. Not until he proves it by beating elite opposition like Joe did.

    I don't think his oppositions's been very good at all. With all those belts nowadays you don't have to be anything special to be a champ, and Geale has only beat Sturm as a decent name, and he's 1-1 with Mundine who's not great at all plus he lost to Barker. Def. not world class imo.
    Macklin and Murray aren't elite either, and they haven't beaten many reconigzeable names.
    GGG's record might not be bad for most fighters but for a 33 year old p4p top 5 with more than 30 fights it's not good at all.
    I mean who has he beaten to deserve even be mentioned in a fantasy fight against Hagler, RJJ or a prime Hopkins? i find that disturbing.

    Golovkin offered to fight Void at 154, he wants Cotto next, he knocked out Geale, former world champion, Quillin runs from him, Alvarez will not fight him....................Golovkin can't simply force them to fight him, but Golovkin is, by far, the best middleweight fighting today.................

    It's a weak division so when half of the fighters available choose not to fight you it can be tricky. He's basically hanging around to see if a Cotto or Alvarez say yes to a fight. They won't. Ggg has to go to 68. Fight Kessler, Froch and Ward in that order.

    If no one will fight him, then you can't hold him accountable. SIMPLE AS THAT.

    Exactly, he has already mentally beaten them and that is their problem not his.

    Golovkin can't force the other middleweights to fight him. Those who claim that Golovkin has fought nobody claim that Wilder has fought only the best...............

    Golovkin has beaten 5 RING magazine top 10 middles
    at the time he fought them, which is more than any other
    160lb'er in the world right now has done. I really don't give
    any fighter at 160 a chance, including cotto, to even go
    the distance with this assassin. The divisions bangers
    like curtis stevens and rubio couldn't put a dent in him
    and the boxer movers like Geale and Proksa got trapped
    quick. The tough guys like Macklin and Rubio got crushed
    fast. So......GGG has met all styles and from what i've seen
    hasn't even gotten out of 1st gear, except for Stevens because
    he hid from round 2 'til the stoppage. Whatever this man has had
    to do, he's done impressively. I don't believe GGG will be tested
    until he moves up and fights the elite at '68.

    Golovkin has to be considered elite right now. Not just on resume', but also on the way that he moves, cuts the ring, his monstrous power and what looks like an excellent chin. Whether he is considered ATG will depend on if he continues the rampage or not. My guess is that he does.

    Since none of the other top fighters are too keen on facing him the best that he can do is fight often and fight a long string of solid fighters. Quantity is also a kind of quality, especially if the wins are crushing. My guess is that he will face Canelo, Chavez jr in the next 18 months. Cotto won't fight him.

    He beat N'dam. That's a very good win.
