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

This only works if you provide some kinda examples for your grading scale otherwise everyone gonna be talking different things.

Let's say modern era... talking Floyd and Manny at A+ and Kristian Laight at F then GGGs probably A to A+. If you just talking about Champion level fighters where you got Floyd and Manny at A+ and Rene Alvarado at E or F then possibly you could place GGG as a B (though I'd still personally say A)

If you're grading Golovkin's career against that of elite televised champions of the last 30 years you might rank differently a B or even C depending on exactly how exclusive you want to make that category... see what I'm saying?

I wouldn't like to just put a letter on it, Golovking for whatever reason couldn't get the fights in the beginning of his reign, I think mostly because he was avoided, but it was a combination of that, weak competition at 160, and his team weren't willing to risk him above 160lb (understandably)

This phase of his career was annoying, because c o c k gobblers like you got carried away with his KO's over C and D level's and I had to hear about this guy was p4p #1. He was never a top 3-4 p4p guy to me even then

From Kell Brook on, I have really enjoyed his career. That was his first fight with an elite but smaller fighter and for the first time, we can properly start to assess Golovkin.

Daniel Jacob's in his next fight - again we see the strength's and weaknesses, close fight, I think the knockdown was the difference. At this point I had my own confirmation on a lot of things, and we got a much more complete profile over him as a fighter at top level, that yes Golovkin was over hyped in terms of punching power, he can be out boxed, he doesnt have a great delivery system for his power shots in an elite environment...BUT my God what a jab, to me this fight established him as an elite fighter, his consistency and mental strength to stay on his opponent, all time great chin, great engine.

To me Jacob's is a B+ fighter so this established Golovkin as an elite but it also showed he wasnt stand out, he is in that kind of mix.

The two Canelo fights and fight with Derev have kind of nailed down this opinion, controversy aside, I think you can make an argument that these fights came a bit later than they could have for Golovkin, but at the same time Canelo is a better fighter today than two years ago.

All in all, sure fire HOFer...maybe sc****s in the top 10 middlweights of all time, def top 15. H2h he wouldnt be out of his depth with anyone and he would beat at least half of them.

If Ali or SRR are A+ you'd give him a solid B

i think B is fair...no plus or minus....

how the fcuk can you compare Golovkin to May/Pac you dribbling idiot?

my god... please tell us another story about how you are definitely not one of those ret4rded excuse-making golovkin fans

[aboutfkntime]

Mayweather and Pacquiao both over-achieved, and both have numerous genuine accomplishments in the sport... Golovkin under-achieved, and will retire with little/no genuine accomplishments

so yea, I definitely do not grade Golovkin... " A "

You still trying to talk to me ****wit? I ain't even reading your posts anymore.

C+ at best - once he stepped up, he lost (don’t care for the official cards, he lost on mines)

He got credited for his humble speaking, but he honestly didn’t do anything inside the ring

[Citizen Koba]

i think B is fair...no plus or minus....

Who you got at C and D level, man? Like I say it's all relative. By any measure any elite P4P represents someone in the top 0.1% of their profession and even the most limited champion the top 1%....the question itself and any answer only makes sense when you give it some context
... Like we can all agree Floyd and Pac belong at the top of the scale but who are putting at the bottom? Sturm? Indongo? Ricky Burns? Rocky Fielding? Derrick Findley? Or is it Mr Reliable?

B+ skills, B- career.. underachieved imo...
