    Were Golovkin & Kovalev's reigns of destruction the most exciting time in boxing history?

    Both guys won every fight in their prime, well, if you include Kovalev's victory over Andre "Runner" Ward, that wasn't (116-111 SK), which in reality put Kovalev to the top of the P4P list. In Nash's mind, the real Kovalev retired that night. Also, Canelo beating the leftovers of the shell of Golovkin 115-113, does not count as real Golovkin. The real Golovkin battered Canelo from pillow to post for the best part of 24 rounds.

    Away from that, their careers on the whole. the years upon years of destroying everything in sight, beating the best of the best of the best. This has got the Great Nash thinking, are these the two greatest boxers, excluding Tyson Fury, that have ever lived? Looking through boxing history, there is nobody who could beat a prime version of either, and the excitement and hype they brought is unmatched. Resume's unquestionable. Don't let history underrate these guys. In their primes, believe the hype. They were very special. Nash out

        To be fair to both guys, their resumes would look a lot better with officials wins over Canelo and Ward (both 1st fights) which they both deserved. If we didn’t all know yet, life just isn’t fair.

                GGG KOing Steven's and Geale were pretty good times....

                Kovalev had the unfortunate pleasure of being promoted by Kathy Duva....who made everything seem forced and unoriginal.....like his moniker, Krusher....LAME AF

                    Lmao,i remember that look on Curtis,looked like he had just witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Didn't he show up with a coffin for GGG in that fight lol?

                    To OP's question....absolutely. Boxing is always more entertaining with devastating punchers in the mix.
