Very interesting article from boxing247 about GGG and other top fighters in current boxers and their opposition:
https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-new...ovkin-american
*The world rankings of the four major organisations (IBF, WBO, WBC, WBA) do not accurately reflect who the best boxers in each weight division are. Case in point: arguably the five best heavyweights in the world – Klitschko, Wilder, Ortiz, Fury and Povetkin – do not feature in the IBF heavyweight top 10. Therefore the Transnational Boxing Rankings have been referred to in this article.
Some weird haters (and Canelo) keep claiming that GGG has a bad resume and there you have it. He actually has the best resume of all active fighters.
Now dont even start arguing that Canelo knocking out old and small Cotto or chinny Khan is more impressive than GGG stopping Lemieux and Murray.
Also you can check out the latest Fight Game with Jim Lampley, he has GGG on #1 P4P now.

Since making his American debut on 1st September 2012 GGG has beaten more top 10 contenders than any other active professional boxer in the sport. More impressively still, Golovkin has barely been tested in any of these fights and none of these foes have heard the final bell. Clearly, Gennady has “earned his shot.” However, a convincing victory over pay per view TV star and Lineal champion, “Canelo”, would undoubtedly go some way to further silencing his detractors.
Below is a list of ten of the most talented fighters in boxing today, ranked by the number of different top 10 opponents (as rated by the Transnational Boxing Rankings at the time that each particular fight happened) they have beaten since September 2012.
