    You are making a weak argument. He hasn't KOed any top fighter exactly because he is being avoided.

    but Rigo absolutely embarrassed Donaire, a top P4P fighter at the time

    GGG needs that one top 10 fighter on his resume to be as high as Rigo, but the problem is thats neither Cotto, Canelo nor any other top 10 P4P guys are available for him to make that fight, and don't say Ward, because beating Paul Smith at a CW doesn't make you #2 P4P after 2 years out of the ring

    Martin Murray wasn't top 10.

    He was top 1 at 160.

    What has he done....called out Floyd, that's the only requirement to be crowned most feared, it's worked for many fighters in the past

    True, but at this moment in time I think Rigondeaux has harder time getting good fights.

    (besides the promotion issues)

    Cotto, Quillin and Froch all ducked him. That's why.
    Rigo however is the one people want to fight least. If Loma refuses to fight him, he's probably the most ducked boxer in history.

    #4 pound for pound in Ring magazine (Mayweather, Gonzalez, Wlad)
    20 straight wins by stoppage
    15 straight wins by stoppage in title fights

    Golovkin's aura right now reminds me of Tyson's back in the day. It's like a miracle and a moral victory if a guy can last the entire 12 rounds against him.

    Casuals watch boxing for the knockouts. Golovkin is a casual fan's dream come to life, like Tyson was at his best.

    Why don't you ask Froch and Cotto that.

    He has destroyed all top 10 middleweights, with the exception of the top 3 (they are avoiding him). he has destroyed B+ and A- competition, destroying the other three title holders would bring him 3 A+ level scalps.

    160lb title holders have be reluctant to face him.

    Martinez, Quillin (former), Cotto.
