I think resumes are a fabrication, much like KO percentages, paper titles, all that other stuff that means nothing. Look at the UFC in comparison. The best geniunely fight the best, everyone has tough fights, and it's normal for a fighter with 20 fights to have a couple of losses. Resumes can be manufactured and show nothing really, it's all about talent.

Are resumes overrated?

Are they overrated? Yes and no. It really depends on the situation. Resumes are certainly important when ranking someone on an ATG list, not as much on a P4P list. Resumes are important when talking about who has fought better competition, but not so much on what the outcome of a paticular matchup might be. Thats not even getting into the subjective nature of rating a resume, especially for current fighters.

this.
i'll also add that golovkin's resume is the best in the world at MW right now, if you consider who he beat, when, and how, and compare it to the rest of the top MWs.
