    PDL, DeMarco, Malignaggi, Maidana.

    Broner has the better promoter with way more pull on the network and is associated with Al Haymon and probably the best roster of fighters of any company, and they are all in or around his weight class. Broner has also taken the concept of moving up=better opponents.

    Golovkin's promoter is not exactly top 5, 160 sucks for the most part, lots of fighters there are from Showtime, GGG refuses to go up to what would be just his 2nd weight class to fight any of Ward, Kessler, Froch, Bika, Groves, and only wants to go up for Chavez. Instead of moving up like Broner, he cries about being ducked when there is more money and plenty of fighters saying they would fight him just one division north.

      Doing so little?? he cleaned out 168 in a huge tournament and became lineal champion man...wtf?? he wasn't even the favorite going into the tournament...Kessler was

        He's a tough brawler, but definitely not an elite boxer.

        Broner's close win over a shot Malignaggi doesn't count for much. Look what Porter did to the faded Paulie.
        And Golovkin beat who as a pro?what elite boxer?

            Of course he is a top fighter.

            He's proven that much.

            Not an "elite boxer" but you don't need to be an elite boxer to be a top fighter.

              Broner easily, but Golovkin hasn't been undressed and fuxked up the same way Ade has.

              Once Ward has finished sabotaging his career, I expect him to deliver on that front.

                So a fighter being undefeated is extremely important to you I assume?

                I thought the majority view on here was Loss's don't matter, if you don't have Loss's it means you didn't fight the best, and wernt a big deal and an "0" isn't important.

                Now one loss dimishes your legacy.

                  He did not cleaned out 168. He fought guys in a tournament and won. Props to him but he didn't do what other did and travel which made me think he's a future diva in the making and I don't think I was mistaken.

                  You fail to realize, a lot of other guys did not go into that tournament and guys that are at the top now, Froch has been taking care of them, not Ward.

                    who are those fighters who didnt go into the tournament who were top fighters?? Bute? Ward became top 10 p4p by beating Froch,Kessler,Abraham,Dawson....not because of a damn gold medal...and travel?? wtf does that even matter?? a boxing ring is a boxing ring
