Who was the greater middleweight Golovkin or Hopkins?

Imagine Golovkin fighting Macklin and Gaele five times.

 

I think if Golovkin had gotten at least one of the decisions against Canelo folks might be seeing it a bit different.

Bernard's losses to Taylor mar his 160 resume a bit, but Jermain was an athletic beast at 160 back then and a bad style match up for Hops and just seemed to have his number.

It's very close on the whole, with Hops probably edging it out - but those 2 blips for GGG against Ginger make it murky

 

the WBO was not recognized or acknowledged as a real title until Hopkins won it in 2008 hints the start of the 4-belt era.
The WBO had never been a respected organization Hopkins legitimized that title.

 

Answer the question.

 

That´s one white boy dat wud tap foul Bernie

 

De la Hoya’s body of work shows he was great.
Any win over him holds weight especially one inside the distance.

 

All of the ones mentioned I guess.
He just doesnt have the resume.

 

Bruh Oscar and Tito are some of the greatest fighters OF ALL TIME. Jacobs and Lemuix aren’t even great fighters in THEY OWN ERA.
My friend Kell Brook resume at 148”7 is ass meanwhile Oscar and Tito fought and beat everybody and are multi division unified titlist.
You hyping up Lemuix who has never beaten an ELITE FIGHTER EVER or Dervy who lost 3/4 fights b2b2b no disrespect but all disrespect you GGG fans are clowns.
Hopkins taking an early loss to Roy jones is better than GGG entire career

 

The question was which lower weight fighters would Golovkin receive credit for beating.

If you wouldn't credit him for beating Canelo and Charlo you're nothing but a hater.

 

You honestly think Martin Murray was better thsn even middleweight Trinidad?

 

Doesn't matter. You asked which lower weight fighters he'd receive credit for beating. Those two undoubtedly fit that bill.
