Yet Gennady golovkin gets all this credit lol honestly it must be the surprise factor more than anything.
Real talk, who here knew who the hell GGG was until his scheduled fight with Proska in late 2012? it was an impressive performance no doubt but then this causes a frenzy when people hear the hype from the fanboy HBO crew, then fans check his record on BoxRec and see he has an impressive knockout ratio but they ignore the nobodies on the resume beside Proska, that my friends is the chain of events which cause HYPEEEE.
Peter Quillin by no means has the most amazing resume but this is my point about GGG being so highly hyped despite not having an amazing resume.
Gennady Golovkin's notable wins: -Proska
-Rosado
-Macklin
-Stevens
Peter Quillin's notable wins: - Ronald Wright*
- N'Dam
- Guerrero
- Rosado
*(past his best I know)
As you can see there really isn't a major difference win you take into account the difference in praise. Stevens is a solid contender and a good win for Golovkin although do you see Jesse Brinkley or Marcos Primera get the praise GGG gets? After all, they did beat Stevens before him. In other words, it was a good win but nothing special.
Peter Quillin defeated the tough champion Hassan N'dam when he was undefeated, knocking him down 6 times in the process. This is a more impressive win than anything on Golovkin's resume. Yeah sure Macklin is a good win but it's similar to the Curtis Stevens win, it's already been achieved by Jamie Moore and Andrew Facey so it's nothing special and shouldn't be such a hyped win, not to mention champions at the time like Martinez and Sturm had defeated him BEFORE Golovkin.
That leave Rosado who Golovkin did get to first, another solid win from Golovkin but nothing special when you consider the hype to quality of opponent ratio.
