Has Golovkin earned a spot in the Top 5 p4p?

[Kagami Taiga]

Typical of the what we have talking about, Kerry hope beat Proksa before GGG beat him in September 2012, Macklin had one single round under his belt and was at his worse coming from injury after losing to Martinez when he was rushed to fight GGG, The only fighter who GGG beat that was on roll was Curtis Steven and even he was a d- level fighter at best, Rosado was a Light middleweight coming up and lost all his big fights prior and after GGG, And then who else? Ishida? Amanda? I like GGG personally because you can see he brings excitement, power and guarantee fireworks but some of these fanatics are plucked up boxing fans.

This is pretty much truthful. It may not be GGGs fault, but he's achieved nothing. Which makes me scoff at the notion that he's what some ppl make him out to be. I think he's the best mw but he hasn't had a chance to prove it and he def doesn't deserve to be talked about among potential Floyd opponents. For what?

The Can Can Man....any can can get it.....still some cans at 154 and 160 so the man ain't moving up to fight Ward....those cans gotta get that work....until dude stop collecting cans, he'll never make a credible p4p list

His fans throwing fake sauce on the boards, Ward ruffled their feathers big time....which brings me to this.....when Swift was being mentioned as a potential opponent for Floyd, the Swift base didn't throw fake sauce and call Floyd a bully.....we kept it real and said, Swift won't beat Floyd, he should stay away from the fight for about 2 more years!!!.....real ninja ****!!!....but these Golovkin lovers don't have the integrity of the much smaller Swift base on here!!

Why won't they just admit to the obvious?!?...those dudes are too ****ing fake!!

Lol at the Fight Game. I'm a GGG fan but he's nowhere near top 5. He might have the skills to be there one day but not now. I don't have him in the top 10, if I do he's like no.10.

[Juof]

not just yet but maybe in the future he will make it on the p4p list

[Russian Crushin]

Their p4p list on HBO was always fairly objective before. Why the sudden change?

I wager that it's because Floyd left and they started to panic a little.

I never knew HBO had a P4P list, post it. Again, this is Lampleys personal list. Teddy Atlas thinks Lomachenko is a top P4P guy. New thread idea?

[TRTboy]

broner and canelo was in the top 10 for doing absolutely nothing. Why not GGG?

[oneon11]

Exactly

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

The guy truly hasn't earned a spot in the top 20, but if you want to honestly rank a bottom feeder like this G guy then he's #1 p4p on the bum fighter list. Put him in the ring with someone with some real skills & stop hyping another Camelot before Ward takes this boy to school and sends him back to reality world.....

[Grimgash]

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?

Absolutely does NOT deserve to be there. Why isn't Wilder p4p #1 then?

[SkillspayBills]

****! ****! **** **** ****! Lol it's Jim Lampley who cares. His job is to call fights he's no expert.

I've seen worse though like THE RING magazine ranking Broner top 5 after beating Gavin Rees.

We like to call this "deflection." **********s do it all the time. Why do you get super defensive when it comes to GGG? It's the only fighter I see you do that for.

[FrankJack]

No. I like Gennady, but the best talents on his resume are Ishida, Macklin, and Stevens. Good wins, but that isn't p4p worthy. His performance shows he might have potential. But, based on his resume at this moment, I say no.
