Has Golovkin earned a spot in the Top 5 p4p?

[ShoulderRoll]

That's where he ranks according to The Fight Game with Jim Lampley.

If you look at it objectively does his resume and quality of opposition merit it? Or is this just a sign of HBO being desperate and trying to push GGG faster?

[BUNGALOWS]

Top 5? NO. It's almost impossible for him to be in the top 5 just because no one will fight his ass.

[Larry the boss]

who in the hell has him on the p4p list period?

Yes. P4P is all fantasy/subjective anyway. But I think if you know boxing, you can spot talent when you see it- and surely Golovkins sublime skillset is good enough to be in the top 5 of the sport. IMO

Top 5? NO. It's almost impossible for him to be in the top 5 just because no one will fight his ass.

Lara and Ward both called him out so how is it no one will fight him?

[Bermuda]

definitely would have him top 5 or 6....ggg is the real deal.

he KOs everyone at 160 and beats everyone at 168.

Did Lampley have Thurman on the top 10 p4p?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It's down to personal opinion but I don't think anyone in their right mind would put him in the top 5.

It would have to be based on skills alone cos he's fought no one. And his skills are not that great.

Lara knows he is protected by the network dispute, probably. I could be wrong

Jim Lampley.

I think Jim's credibility is taking a hit from this though, he is acting more like a shill thank like an objective analyst in my opinion.
