    I voted no then thought this guy has gone through his last 18 opponents by ko/tko. Sometimes its more the guy you're fighting then you, but at 18 finishes in a row its you. So I'll give him credit because he's the real deal, the only thing hurting him is his resume. He needs one of the elite notable fighters as a notch in his belt to truly his stardom.

    It's good to see over 75% of the voters can evaluate Golovkin without prejudice. :good

    He's clearly now in the top ten P4P, although he needs a big win to enter the top 5. Golovkin has been not only beating top ten middleweights, he's been doing it IMPRESSIVELY and that's what sets him above most boxers! :thumbsup

    To discredit him, some bigots may say the middleweight division is weak, same as they repeatedly said the HW division in bad to discredit Wladimir. But thankfully most people are too honorable to discredit ring warriors, no matter where they are from.

    He's in my top 10. As far as I'm concerned he is by far the best middleweight in the world.

    Don't forget what Danny accomplished prior to his horrible 2014 year. Damn, 1 or 2 bad fights and people forget everything else.

    Theh heavyweight division is at an all time low. The good news is GGG can become a great top 10 fighter if he can get e of the other top middleweightst to fight him. Cant wait to see more of this seek and destroy fighter! So much better than watching a guy with every advantage hold all fight long. :good

    Obviously strong performance get you in so why would poor performances preclude you from dropping out?

    Yet he has beaten far lesser opposition.

    If we are talking about opinion of skills, then sure, you can rank whoever you want in the top 10 from Giovani Segura to Marco Antonio Rubio, since resume wouldn't then matter.

    But if you are using a criteria that involves who they've fought and how they performed against the opposition, then all those guys are clearly above Golovkin for now, even if only marginally.
