How would you grade golovkins career (A* to F)

[Boxing_1013]

This is your quote:



I didn't just make it up.

And I challenge you to give the names of 20 middleweights that would beat him at his best and/or had achieved more than he has.

Not a top 20 MW....lol....this site sometimes is so bizarre

[Boxing_1013]

Yes, he has nothing next to the all-time greats is what I said. Not nothing in general. You are twisting it.

I am not a fan of mythical matches as they are purely speculation. I’ll say the following are greater middleweights though:-

Harry Greb
Sugar Ray Robinson
Carlos Monzon
Marvin Hagler
Stanley Ketchel
Charley Burley
Holman Williams
Mike Gibbons
Jake LaMotta
Marcel Cerdan
Bernard Hopkins
Tommy Ryan
Mickey Walker
Tiger Flowers
**** Tiger
Tony Zale
Freddie Steele
Fred Apostoli
Teddy Yarosz
Jack Dillon
Joey Giardello

Off the top and then there’s a bunch of guys with solid arguments of better careers like Gene Fullmer, Bert Lytell, Emile Griffith, Nino Benvenutti etc;

I’m sure he would beat a number of these guys but measuring greatness relative to their era I have a hard time seeing him too 20 much less top 10.

Lol man it is honestly wild that you have some of those 20 resume wise over GGG, let alone if you just put on film of some of them relative to GGG.

Golovkin gets an "A" from me. It was not his fault the division was not good when he won the title.

C- or C

Horrible time management and consistently fought bums over legitimate opponents

who is they? you don't even have your own opinion? i seriously doubt you even watched the fight lol. this is what happens when you have no credibility. follower types like you just take "their" word for it

They say is for people around saying pvssy-g lost & i say that cuz i didnt see the fight so I'm not going to say he did lose. I aint like you, all fake & shet

[bojangles1987]

It's a solid B or B+. He was the best middleweight in the world, one of the best fighters in the world, and whatever the official decision, most people know he beat Saul Alvarez in the first fight. He was probably the best middleweight since Hopkins left the division.

He has had a hell of a career. We'll see what else he has in the tank to add to it.

C-

His best win is a guy who had already been KO'ed by Dmitry Pirog.

[GGG Gloveking]

Triple FFF.

[KTFOKING]

He's had a really solid career. Whenever matched up against a quality opponent, he will hold his own and will be in a very good fight. He hasn't shown the ability to separate himself against the other top MWs, but also has never been outclassed either.

I'll go with the letter grade B.

[Nay_Sayer]

He was probably the best middleweight since Hopkins left the division.

Not according to his resume.

Taylor, Pavlik and Martinez all have better wins..
