    What I'd like to know is how many of you have actually seen a Langford, Greb or Pep etc. match. All these lists are utter BS:rofl

    And if so, where were you able to find enough footage to ascertain that they were in fact The GOAT's.

    Only of those whom I know their fights were for real. Mostly born from 1940 and on . Golovkin may disappoint, but if he keeps it this way, he is not far from having it won. 3-4 years from now (2017-2018 ) , and it may be like this: Golovkin Duran McCallum Holyfield Hagler Sanchez Carbajal Orlin Norris McCall Qawi LaPorte Tua Mosley Froch Chavez Camacho Toney Marquez Pacquiao Tyson Tucker Jesus Rojas Yober Ortega Melchor Cob Castro Rodrigo Valdez Whitaker Antonio Cermeno Silvio Gamez Jose Luis Lopez Vincent Phillips How come Golovkin over Duran already? 1) Golovkin may still disappoint and be ranked lower 2) Golovkin's opposition @ 160 better than Duran's @ 135 3) Does anyone imagine Golovkin getting dropped by a 160lbs fighter @ 168 while dropping the decision as well and then being floored yet again in their rematch @ 160? The ana*log did happen to Duran vbs DeJesus. 4) Golovkin did not need to cheat so far , unlike Duran against Buchanan and Davey Moore.
