    Yet fighting at the SMW division is any better?
    Who else is there in that division?
    Froch, who got schooled by Groves who is massively untested...
    Kessler and Abraham = both finished
    If Ward can get P4P status by fighting past it fighters then so should GGG.

    Canelo can jump to 160 and he likely will at one point and that's a guy held high in the P4P rankings, Martinez is held as the current number 1 in the MW division.
    Along with guys like Jermell Charlo and Lara they're all future MWs somewhere down the line and they'll be good victories to have.

      He has not beaten anybody of note. He looks good KOing second tier fighters but is yet to fight a top rated fighter. He should not be in the top ten either, he should not be there on potential alone.

        I think Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Groves, and Ward all beat Sergio....he's beyond finished. It's far better than MW for sure.

          Abraham is worse off than Serg. Either way Serg is p4p and lineal, a great scalp for a mw

            Abraham got KO'ed by Stieglitz... you really think he'd beat Martinez?
            Stieglitz is another name for proof that the SMW division is terrible along with Edwin Rodriquez.

            Only relative names in the SMW division is Ward, Groves and Froch, that is testament to how bad it is.

              Should have made it a public poll.

              Anyways, as of now, no. But can he? Absolutely. I think he has the tools.

                if he was affiliated with Golden Boy Promotions in any way he would have been top 10 already despite not earning it.

                Kinda like how Robert Guerrero, Adrian Broner, and Canelo suddenly became top 10 p4p because they were fighting floyd or affiliated with goldenboy despite not earning it.

                  Based on what? He's a bum, beating bums. He's not a top anything.
                  All these Eastern Europeans will be journeymen soon. Mark it.

                      Poll results so far: 91 to 15 in favor of Golovkin not deserving it yet.
