    Just reading his comments and he goes into about GGG slipping, yet he had Pacman on his list at number 9. :/
    He has Spence as well... before the Brook fight. Hmmm.

    Teddy's reasoning makes no sense at all.

    It makes no sense at all. None. His continual badmouthing of Golovkin always seemed illogical.

    Credit to him, he seems to have figured it out in the last week, even if he has GGG lower than the other writers. #5 is still better than not even on the list.

    Loma should be lower... He's talented but come on now. Spence KO'ing Brook + Thurman beating Swift is more impressive than Vasyl's entire resume.

    I agree.

    There has been almost like a "cult" of boxing media and fans who seemed to want to downplay GGG's ability and accomplishments. Teddy appeared to be a central figure in that cult, kind of reinforcing their irrationality.

    But Atlas apparently got things straight in the last 7 days. Not sure what happened, but glad he seemed to right the ship.

    Yeah.

    Loma is a 2-division champion in just 10 fights, but I know what you mean.

    I think he is being rated on talent and skill here, as much as on accomplishments. Even though he's obviously done quite a bit in his short career.

    That's fine, when I think about p4p I'm looking at who you beat and how you beat them.

    I agree..what's Lomo had? 10 fights?? And he lost one...I think he is as skilled as anyone, but needs more fights to get on the list...

    Golovkin has been #1 for a long time now

    His win over roided cruiserweight Jacobs (who happened to be a monster puncher at 160 - and the second middleweight on the planet who fought the perfect strategical fight) is ridiculous. One of the most underrated wins in many a year

    Golovkin's so damn good people knock him if he doesn't KO massive roided cruiserweights who run away from him :lol:

    Can you imagine, they rather put somebody like Ward as number 1 pound per pound rather than GGG, despite Ward needing to cheat through officials in order to beat Kovalev, Kovalev being a MUCH more inferior boxer to Golovkin.

    Fact is Golovkin and Kovalev> Ward
    Me> Ward fanatics.

    G fans in celebration over this lol

    This is just to hype the rematch. Get you guys all buttered up. G is getting KOed in the rematch. He had only one plan which was to move forward and try to win on volume without going to the body. No plan B. He doesn't have p4p skills. Just power and chin and both of those traits are now questionable but do continue to celebrate please.

    GGG outlanded and dominated the fight.

    Canelo looked good for 20 secs per round, it was an easy fight to score Canelo won 3 maybe 4 rounds at most.

    What amazes me are the Canelo fans who claimed he beat Lara because all Lara did was run yet claim Canelo beat GGG by using tge same tactics but being less effective.
