Macklin is the difference, and looking at both records it is a big difference.

Peter Quillin has an equal, if not better resume than Gennady Golovkin

I don't think many have argued that GGG's resume is better, but rather that Quillin could have fought GGG not too long ago but did not want it. Also, Quillin has gone on record saying he didn't want to fight the best or something to that effect, I forget exactly what it was.

Both won vacant belts and hasn't fought another champ
Both have beaten older names and B level contenders
The only difference is that ggg has won in a more dominant fashion
If ggg beats geale in dominant fashion, I would have him ahead of quillen..

Golovkin clearly wants to fight the best in the division, whereas Quillin (or Haymon) finds ways not to take on other top MW fighters.
I hope Korobov v Quillin gets made (at the minimum purse bid).
lol
Golovkin may well want to fight the best at 160 but that doesn't mean we can give him empty credit for something he hasn't YET done.
Paul Williams wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather but the fight didn't materialise so we can't give credit to his resume because the Mayweather fight didn't happen, regardless if he wanted it or not.
Also Quillin/Haymon according to you finds way to avoid fighters yet he still has a pretty equal resume to Golovkin who wants to fight the best. Ok, we can speculate that Quillin is a coward or whatever but the resume is the resume and they still have a similar quality resume NOW.
The main thing for me is the 'hype to quality of opposition ratio' and it's clear Golovkin's ratio doesn't add up to the hype. Quillin did get some hype after the N'Dam fight but other than that it hasn't been much, especially compared to Gennady.

Peter Quillin is a bum. Neither of their resumes are spectacular but Gennadys is better than Quillins because he didn't struggle with Rosado (some think Rosado was beating Quillin), has a win over Macklin and is fighting Geale on the 26th.
Peter "Only if the price is right" Quillin would get good boy'd
