Yeah, but sadly who has fought The better opposition? To be champions they both went the easy route. Quillin I think has the better resume, Golovkin has the better backing. HbO / showtime is killing the sport - top rank / golden boy is killing the sport. They all need to match the top fighters from each stable / network and give back to the fans.
Better resume? LOL neither GGG nor Quillin even have a resume yet. Quillin's fought nothing but American bums thus far, just like Golovkin has fought European bums thus far.
Matthew Macklin is the single best fighter either of them have fought and is light years ahead of anybody Quillin has faced. Macklin is/was a legit top 10 MW with championship experience. Quillin hasn't faced anyone as good as Macklin.
neither is a champion in my mind and most purists' minds. Martinez is the only champion, and Golovkin and Quillin are simply titlists. Martinez beat Pavlik who beat taylor who Beat Hopkins. Quillin beat N'diam and I don't even know who Golovkin beat for his alphabet trinket. They noth could beat Martinez, but you gotta do it first before you're a "champion"
King, you're right in a way, although I have to admit, Golovkins win over Macklin, a legit top 10 middlwt was pretty impressive

inb4 Winky Wright
Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam is probably the best on either one of their resumes. He's actually a quality middleweight and I think better than Macklin
“There is too much chatter about Klitschko getting a knockout victory,” said Peter’s coach Abel Sanchez.
“I think this is nonsense. It is going to be short fight and it is going to be Sam Peter who’ll get it by the sixth round,” said Sanchez.
Wonder what's got into Abel the past coupla weeks, always seemed like such a quiet, reserved sorta guy but he's been like a diva on her period just recently.
That said, he's kinda right, if Quillin wants to make his name at 160 or above, he picked the wrong promotional team - all the action's on the other channel. He kinda needs to man up or shut up.
N'Dam didn't fight for his title. Inherited his title from injured Pirog. Macklin fought Sturm and Martinez. I consider him a better opponent.
Like Macklin, I think N'Dam proved his worth in a loss. He got knocked down 5 or 6 times and still made it a very close fight. I still see him as a top 5 challenger in that division and slightly ahead of Macklin
I'm sorry but folks put Quillin on a pedestal he did not earn. Anyone who is fighting that dude better make sure the testing is being done legit..I will never get over the Winky Wright situation...Outside of Power Peter is an average fighter and if you take into account the shennanigans they did to winky I even have to question how natural that power is..notice they haven't proposed any extreme testing on him since the wright fight.
