Better Resume: Chavez Jr. or Golovkin?

Golovkin, it is not just who you beat but also the manner of victory. As quality opponents Rubio, Zbik, Lee is pretty much comparable to Macklin, Proksa, Stevens, Rosado, Adama but Golovkin lost at most 2 rounds in those 5 fights whereas Chavez's fights were a lot more competitive. Indeed the Zbik decision could easily have went Zbik's way, Chavez lost at least a few rounds against Rubio and was losing to Lee before he stopped him. The idea that Chavez's resume is better than Golovkin's does not withstand reason.

I find it funny that GGG's best win (Macklin) was one of Martinez's left overs. Golovkin's best win had already been stopped by Martinez and had only gotten (less than) one round in 16 months when GGG got to him. And now he's fighting Chavez Jr's left over in Andy Lee, which will probably be the 2nd best fighter on his resume.

Junior, he got mad stick for his run with the WBC title but he beat guys like a prime Lee, Rubio and a few others, all of them better than 99.9% of names on GGGs resume...he also stopped those guys yet GGG gets mad love but Junior gets hate. He didn't stop those guys, he stopped fragile Andy Lee, non top 10 rated. He has like 2 stoppages in the past 9 fights. 1 Ring rated top 10 win in Zbik, who many had winning.

Voted Golovkin, meant to vote Chavez jr.

If you just count opponent level it's Jr by a country mile - if you're looking at opponents beaten it's pretty close probably going to Jr, if you take opponents beaten uncontroversially it's Golovkin, if one takes into account the manner of victory against similar opposition it's Golovkin and ain't close. Curiously Abel Sanchez paints Jr as one of the fights he'd really like to see for GGG, and I guess if the kid was motivated it could be, but the blob that got outworked by Vera brings nothing to the table but a fat paycheck and the ability to take a beating.

Chavez doesn't have a very good resume but I think he takes this.

IF you didn't know he had a belt you would think he would be on FNF lol Or Showtime undercard, like that guy that likes to fight the guys GGG destroyed

It's funny because Chavez has a better resume but GGG would chop him down badly

Gennady Golovkin. His resume reads "Domination" :boxing: IF you didn't know he had a belt you would think he would be on FNF lol

Gennady Golovkin. His resume reads "Domination" :boxing:

One of the best amateur boxers of all time, incredible fight record of 345-5... 3 gold medals and a silver Highest knockout ratio of middleweight history ever Beating the top tens of the MW division easily when they have the guts to actually face them (Macklin).... Then you have Chavez Jnr........ Beating easily by a guy GGG would flatten within a few rounds, Sergio the duck Martinez. Sergio ducks no man. HE will be on PPV vs Cotto while GGG fights Andy Lee lmao

So are you saying that Golovkin has a better resume? In terms of wins, it's pretty close. Macklin is about Zbik's level, though did way better vs Sturm. Lee+Rubio not much different than Rosado+Stevens+Proksa. So it depends on whether you feel the near shutout loss to Sergio boosts his resume, or maybe the very controversial win over Vera.

He also has a winner over 154 pounds IBF champ Carlos Molina. The word... Controversial, heard of it?

Chavez has never beaten a top 10 fighter and should have lost to Zbik and Vera along with Sergio So are you saying that Golovkin has a better resume?

Chavez jr which is sad.

Sergio had to chase Jr. Ward/Froch are chasing Jr. It helps to be the son of a legend. Not to say that he's bad. But his name value is far above his ability.

Ggg looked bored vs adama.

Rubio is lower top 10 these days, though he wasn't at the time Chavez fought him. The Transnational Rankings has Lee at #10, so he would qualify as borderline top 10. I didn't score the Zbik fight, so I can't say.
