Golovkin officially surpasses Ward as ESPN's #1 Pound for Pound

Ward is number one in Ring's list. No big deal,

I like Golovkin but there's no way he's #1. I honestly had him losing to Jacobs the both times I watched the fight. Even if he won officially, it wasn't an impressive performance at all. In my opinion I think Crawford should probably be P4P best currently. Ward/Kovalev need to fight again to be able to put either of them at the top spot. And Lomachenko hasn't fought enough guys yet to be at the top spot.

Exactly I don't even have dude in my top 10. I saw an average fighter against not so slick Jacobs.

Atlas looks to be the only one with D.Garcia and Spence in his list. Pilatti has Wilder and Valdez in his.

Neither Golovkin nor Ward are #1. Kovalev is the true king. Boxingscene knows no king but the One True King, whose name is Kovalev.

ESPN. They're known for their P4P list are they? I thought not, TBRB is where it's at. yup TBRB p4p list: 1. Andre Ward 2. Sergey Kovalev 3. Roman Gonzalez 4. Manny Pacquiao 5. Terence Crawford * 6. Gennady Golovkin 7. Vasyl Lomachenko 8. Naoya Inoue 9. Leo Santa Cruz 10. Shinsuke Yamanaka http://www.tbrb.org/p4p/

that says alot more about YOU than it says about GGG...... You have just quoted my immediate thoughts when I read that post

Weird to be honest. Ward has a win over a top p4p fighter. GGG does not cuz jacobs wasnt a top p4p fighter. scratch that its even worse... go to the link and look at who's their top 10 each writer... someone has wilder in the top 10

http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/18968693/gennady-golovkin-new-no-1 This should be interesting. Weird to be honest. Ward has a win over a top p4p fighter. GGG does not cuz jacobs wasnt a top p4p fighter.

ESPN. They're known for their P4P list are they? I thought not, TBRB is where it's at. until they have a rating you disagree with. Then you will say they are ignorant hacks who DKSAB.........

Exactly I don't even have dude in my top 10. that says alot more about YOU than it says about GGG......

Is ESPN the go to Bible now of boxing! I was on a lot of those early ESPN boxing shows out of Tottawa NJ Ice Palace and they didn't now what they were doing then. A very young and green Al Bernstein was the announcer then, as he is now other promotions. ESPN was NEVER the all know all see for boxing most prople who grew up listening to Don Dumphy would shut the volume off the ESPN broadcasts. Ray

Could you imagine if Mayweather had been rated #1 after getting 1 razor thin decision over a good fighter and having an lackluster resume otherwise? The dude was criticized for having almost entirely undebatable wins against many of the best fighters in and around his weight. Fighters who themselves will go on to be in the HOF whereas Lemule, Macklin, Murray, Geale etc will not. ...by the same people who have GGG top 1-5 the past 2 years hypocrites...GGG hasnt moved up, gained lineage Floyd mayweather was a 3 division champion and 2 times lineal in 3 weight classes by fight 36 and in his mid 20s..yet he was a coward doe....a ducker...dont fight nobody...yet at the time he beat more champions, hall of famers, with more legit title defenses...he had 11 at 130 and 135 alone..all lineal. the hypetrain for GGG is crazy....why is the media trying so hard to make him a great fighter? he has to prove it in the ring like everyone else mayweather had a better resume than this guy by his mid 20s and fought another 10 years adding to his legacy......they gabe him no credit the whole while lol

the list is good but GGG #1 is laughable. dude has never beat anyone close to being a p4p type fighter and some people think he lost to jacobs, he is a good fighter. the hypetrain is real cant make a fighter be something he is not....the ring is the squared circle of truth....he hasnt done anything p4p worthy. he is a good fighter who has a ok resume known for knocking out lower tier opposition Could you imagine if Mayweather had been rated #1 after getting 1 razor thin decision over a good fighter and having an lackluster resume otherwise? The dude was criticized for having almost entirely undebatable wins against many of the best fighters in and around his weight. Fighters who themselves will go on to be in the HOF whereas Lemule, Macklin, Murray, Geale etc will not.

The Kovalev/Ward decision was a lot more debatable than GGG's win over Jacobs. I watched both fights live and I was truly shocked when Ward got the decision over Kovalev. At the end of the fight, sitting there waiting for Krusher to have his hand raised, and I heard those words .. "And the new .." my immediated gut reaction was astonishment and disbelief. At the end of GGG/Jacobs, I really didn't have any idea who was going to get their hand raised. A couple of days later I watched the fight again and kept a round by round score. I gave them 6 rounds each and GGG got an extra point for the KD. Very fair and accurate assessment of both fights. Cheers.

Neither Golovkin nor Ward are #1. Kovalev is the true king. Yep. Lmfao @ ESPN. Fat Dan proving once again why this sports media is a circus act. KOvalev is the #1, if ANYTHING, Ward could be the only person who could be considered #1. Not Golovkin, or anybody else. Kovalev-Ward 1A-1B and that's it..... nobody else in front of them until they rematch.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Haters gonn hate now.
