    It's beyond that it's stupid as Hell now! Almost as stupid as Manny's excuse about losing...

    I don't know man, it doesn't really matter to me if they came off losses (and some of these were controversial), what matters to me more is how they performed on those nights, they didn't get destroyed or anything like that, they all had good performances in their "losses" against top middleweights.

    He doesn't have a bad resume if you think only of MW fighters, his MW resume is okay, but is it great overall? No.

    As I said, if we look at MW only opponents and for what the division has to offer, it's okay. If you want to include fighters from SMW and JMW then yes, it's not good. I'm not going to argue with that.

    What about Rodriguez, no knees Martinez and decapitated in a few rounds by Golovkin Geale?

    Then ggg should move up then and fight ward if that's the only offers the fighters in ggg division which are c minus fighters except cotto but let's face it, cotto is small at mw which he don't belong there and let's be real would ggg get full credit if he ko cotto? I mean if mayweather didn't get a full credit for beating cotto then how can gg get a full credit?

    The out and out unmitigated audacity of Freddie Roach saying GGG is a cherry picker when his b**** ass fighter ducked Jorge Sebastien Heiland to fight one of GGG's featherfisted victims, who will still probably end up beating this farcical MW imposter.

    Not GGG's fault no named fighters are calling him out. Lara has called him out but that's a fighter who is smaller.....has a style that wouldnt produce fireworks. Golovkin is building a reputation for knockouts and excitement. Lara doesn't provide GGG many positives in furthering his efforts to force the big names at 160 to step up. I respect Lara for wanting to prove he's capable of upsetting GGG but he's not really an attractive opponent right now. I don't really think by GGG beating Lara it would do much to take GGG's popularity to that next level either. Maybe if Lara was a real middleweight I would have a different opinion.

    Because he's the middleweight champion and GGG right now is his main challenger, the way you're arguing it's almost like you're not even acknowlading the actual boxing side to boxing, it's all business eh?

    What are the standards you use when you categories names? Murray for example is not a media friendly or public figure but he sure is a good fighter. Geale has been there with the best and has done ok except against GGG. Macklin did put Sergio, Alcine and Asikainen on the floor and gave a very tough fight to Sturm. And by the way, where was Sturm and Sergio when GGG was calling them out?!

    And just to make sure my point, all of the last 13 opponents have been at least top 10 MW (At least one organization WBA, WBO, WBC), most of them top 5. One even did an easy field work for Kirkland who is now known (2015) as a good win for Canelo (Did take three times more time to KO inactive Kirkland).
