    GGG. He has cleared out most of the Top 10 at 160.

    Give Haye his credit though. Without a big network like Box Nation or HBO he still packs a crowd and makes millions fighting bums like he just started boxing . He did it without ever stepping foot on U.S. soil.

    Lil G by far, Haye at least fought the best HW fighter at that time.

    Haye fought Valuev a guy that was at least 200lbs heavier than him. Golovkin ducked Ward because he weighed 15 pounds more.

    The Ring's #10-rated Middleweight Grzegorz Proksa (28-1, 21 KO). Golovkin's fifth-round TKO was Proksa's first loss by knockout.

    The Ring's #9-rated Junior Middleweight Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13
    KO).

    The Ring's # 6-rated Middleweight Matthew Macklin (29-4, 20 KO).

    On March 30, 2013, Golovkin became the first to knock out former WBA interim super welterweight champion Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KO), finishing him in the third round with a vicious overhand right.

    The Ring's #9-rated Middleweight Curtis Stevens (25-3, 18 KO).

    The Ring's #2-rated Middleweight[27] Daniel Geale via a third round stoppage.

    THE Ring’s #6-rated middleweight Martin Murrray.

    The Ring's #4-rated Middleweight/champion David Lemieux.

    Recently ducked by Canelo Alvarez, Cotto, Saunders, etc

    Jacobs, Quillen, priced themselves out of fights with him.

    What was Rubio ranked at the time of the fight? I couldn't find his exact Ring ranking.

    That can be applied to Andre Ward. He is Black, respectful, humble and cleared out his division. He is undefeated and has moved up and beat up the mando for the #1 guy in the division to legitimize himself there and 100% of the hate comes from White guys. Surprise right?

    I'm a GGG fan but have to agree with you here. Even if there's racially motivated hatred towards fighters, It goes for both sides.

    What do you mean by "quality bums"? Fighters who are excellent at being bums, or just fighters who are slightly less bummy than other fighters?

    I think there are a lot of frustrations with Ward. He's managed his career horribly in recent years and prevented himself from becoming one of the biggest attractions in world sport.

    I like GGG and Ward but see their flaws. It's amazing how some 'Ward fans' cling onto a several year old Golovkin quote saying 154-168 when he was trying to win the FMJ sweepstakes but ignore Wards boasts of being able to win a heavyweight title. There is no consistency on these boards other than certain posters racial/nationalistic biases.

    u know why nobody takes wards boast seriously or holds him to it...because they know it wasn't realistic....just like ward saying "160 for Floyd"...people know Floyd has said 160 is too far and has never pursued fights at 160

    ggg has signed his name on dotted line to fight 168 guys and mentions them regularly...that's the difference.....dummy
