BoxRec has GGG at #1 middleweight in the world

If he destroys Cotto and GGG's team starts backtracking, that crow is gonna taste extraa schitty for a lot of posters.........it's gonna happen too.

lol i doubt ggg would avoid a fight with sergio. his team talked all that **** about being avoided and if sergio calls him out and he back tracks id be shocked.

[Kingjames6Flee]

To be honest I've only seen a few clips. He's undefeated though lol so that counts for something right?

lol al need to sign him asap.

Why would Golovkin and K2 backtrack?

[The Gambler1981]

Golovkin needs a big win, and even an aged Sergio should be a quality win (although need to see how he looks to say for sure). I would be stunned if that opportunity was available if Golovkin passed, as long as there wasn't some other issue like health or a personal matter.

Just remembered it's been a year, guess they don't log in points even though a fight is set, just waiting till after

They automatically remove everyone who hasn't fought in over a year, regardless of whether he has a fight scheduled or not.

Dont the rankings have a champion status followed by a #1 status?

[RAV3N]

Sergio will probably fight Canelo if he beats Cotto.

Then people will say that he should be chasing money instead of fighting the other best MW out there.

Why would they? The "lineal championship" (which is a meaningless and outdated concept imo btw) has no place in a stat-based ranking system.

[Szef]

Then it will be "GGG has taken time off for personal reasons, he deserves a tuneup prior to facing Sergio" in contrast to the arguments accusing Serg of ducking while he has been rehabbing his injuries. Those tides will turn and these boards will reflect the bias to the 10th degree.

By tuneup you mean fighting a JMW at MW who's never been any good at JMW to begin with?

[Citizen Koba]

How do they have that with their point system in place?

They drop guys out after a year of inactivity. Maravilla was at #1. Even tho GGG hasn't been fighting top guys he also hasn't lost - guys like sturm etc all have relatively recent losses, and Quillin has fought even worse opposition than GGG. Also they score KOs higher than decision wins AFAIK.
