Who is the closest to "elite" that GGG has faced?

[Evil Abed]

Clearly the answer is no. More important, the answer is no one he's ever faced is even close to elite.

Can't help that he's in a incredibly weak division. Was suppose to fight Pirog, Sturm, N'Dam. Is there anyone elite at 160 that he could have fought?

[ИATAS]

Keep mentioning Froch.

That'll make Golovkin's resume less ****

Is this some sort of teeth and cheak comment?

[-MEGA-]

Who is elite at 160...nobody. Unless you consider miguel cotto a true 160 now. But he just got there.

Someone alert Froch quick that theres nothing to fear, so he doesnt put out any more statements like these:

Froch: "Just swerve Golovkin like the plague. He punches like a mule. I don't need to be in with him. Dangerous fight."

Froch clarifies the above lol: "It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can ****ing punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'll avoid him"

[DoktorSleepless]

He beat Sergey Khomitsky, the current unofficial lineal middleweight champ of course.

[New England]

he hasn't fought any elite fighters.

he is the only elite fighter at 160 lbs, doe. ask vegas what the odds are gonna look like if he ever gets a fight with these jabroons. he'd knock cotto's head into the cheap seats, and everybody knows it. cotto knows it.

he'd be a betting favorite against froch, too. not a massive favorite, the way he'd be against cotto, alvarez, but a favorite he'd still be.

it still stings, doe.

[New England]

dirk, do you think froch beats golovkin?

168 lbs

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Geale is a B fighter, not C. He's also the closest to ''elite'' that Golovkin has faced so far. I also don't believe Barker is a D fighter at all.

Geale is a B fighter?

What does that make guys like Matthysse and Khan who Danny Garcia has beat? Or guys like Trout and Lara that Canelo has beat? Are they then A fighters?

Geale is terribly average and so is Barker.
