Where Does Golovkin Rank Among The All Time Middles?

[Bronson66]

Triple G,does he make your all time top ten at 160lbs,top 15 ,top 20,25,30? What do you say?

I have him in my top 20,and he would be higher if he had more quality scalps to his name.

[Mr Mitts]

I rate him in the general region of Graziano. A guy like Mikey Gibbons would have a field day picking him apart.

Golovkin > Monzon

This. Also, when he did step up he didn't look the same starting with the Danny Jacobs fight.

Top 10 based on head to head and title defenses. He did not get a chance to fight famous weleters or jr middles like Mayweater, Cotto, Crwaford etc ...He would have Ko'd them.

Hey Bronson66*,

Maybe you can add to the linked thread? Say hi to you alter ego on ESB.

He also had no interest in moving up to fight Andre Ward after claiming he would fight anyone from 154-168. Now we know why. All of the fighters you mentioned moved up in weight multiple times.

Borderline, lower end, top 10. Maybe just outside of it. Great MW fighter, and I feel like the best version of him was missed by many- I think he started showing his age in the Lemieux fight and by later fights was clearly a different fighter.

Had he been brought up in the west, and not with the heavy amateur background, he probaby wouldve debuted around 147. Won a title at super welter, then settled in at 160. I think people would have been more impressed that way, even if it was the same fighter in the ring.

Golovkin KOs most middles in history hands down. Canelo who is easily a HOFer along with Golovkin had his hands full the first fight.

Heat up a knife and apply to Butter of soft Americans and that's what Golovkin represents.

That's hilarious considering he couldn't KO Danny Jacobs, Canelo, or any other truly elite middleweight of his era. Considering that fact, he doesn't KO most middleweights "hands down" assuming you're talking about elite ones. Stopping sub par competition means nothing when stepping up to elite competition as history will show you with Golovkin.

- - Canelo is an elite fighter, not an elite middle. Jacobs is neither, but they both have good chins. Facts were that most of the best fighters ducked GGG as a risk not worth the reward.

Hint: Offered Wart a Supermiddle fight at 164lb catchweight(Wart won his title at a catchweight) and MoneyFraud a crack at his Middle title at 155 catchweight or a crack at l'l floydy's 154 title straight.

1. Harry Greb (609) 2. Ray Robinson (575)
3. Carlos Monzon (527)
4. Marvin Hagler (493)
5. Mickey Walker (448)
6. Stanley Ketchel (446)
7. Bob Fitzsimmons (377)
8. Bernard Hopkins (256)
9. Charley Burley (251)
10. Marcel Cerdan (248)

Im trying to figure who Golovkin ko's on this list. Maybe Ketchel? Im not sure. Ketchel is also the only one i think he truly beats from this list. If i were to guess I'd say he belongs between 10 and 20 all time. Helluva fighter, f un to watch. Would have bas a better professional career had he no remained an amateur so long.
