    I just think Lemieux has improved a lot with his new team, same way Cotto has improved with Roach. His win over Ndam is a legit win over a top middleweight imo.

    And sorry mistook you for one of the guys who claim GGG has fought no one. A lot of hate for him recently.

    Personally I think Martinez ruined Macklin, he'd had 1 round in the ring between the Martinez and Golovkin match, add to that Macklin showed up doughy looking and was scared ****less from the moment he stepped in the ring, that wasn't the game Macklin who faced Martinez, but I'm not saying this because I don't like Matthew, I'm a fan of his, but his best days were behind him when he faced GGG, as evidenced by his struggles against Russ and brutal KO loss to Heiland.

    He has improved and I respect him for coming back after such bad defeats.

    And nah I think GGG is legit, not his fault he's ducked

    I think you're reaching, even Macklin admitted GGG ran through him fair and square

    Macklin drew with Sturm in my opinion, drew with Murray, lost to Geale and to Soliman, and to Chudinov and drew with Stieglitz, I like Sturm but he's not the GOAT or anything. And you could make an argument that Macklin got him at the beginning of his slip in form.

    Literally everyone at middleweight. You can make the argument Golovkin should fight Ward but Ward needs to build himself up to the point where he can get more than 500k people to watch him on free t.v.

    Or you could argue he caused it, one 12 round war too many for Sturm? See, anybody could "make an argument" for anything

    Hmmmm.... I wouldn't count that as the WBC gave Cotto voluntary defenses. If he somehow defeats Canelo he's forced to fight GGG next or Vacate.. if he chooses the latter i would agree he ducked, but for right now it's a bit premature to say that...

    If I'm a top ranked fighter and I fight a guy like Golovkin who ends up outclassing, battering and literally breaking my ribs in less than 9 minutes, I might rate him too

    is this the Devils Advocate on coke?

    Cotto was afraid, and to quote my friend there, "I like" Miguel, but he wanted NO part of GGG
