Golovkin's best win?

[PittyPat]

I'm not a fan, but I've liked what I've seen since my first exposure to him in the Proksa fight. He's cool, fun to watch, and must-see TV. However, it's occurred to me that he doesn't yet have a signature win, whereas his fellow KO artist Kovalev now does.

In terms of credentials it has to be Geale, right? He looked like shit in there against Golovkin, but beforehand he had a very close fight with Barker (maybe should've won, maybe not), beat an OK Mundine, and handed Sturm his first loss in 6 years.

If anyone says Macklin... I have to ask, why?

People are gonna laugh at this but I'm being dead serious here, it's Rubio. I said that going in and I still stand by that.

He doesn't have a 'signature' win. The only possibility of a signature win at middleweight was Martinez, who was so crippled when he was wiped out by Miguel Cotto that it probably wouldn't have been all that impressive beating him either.

But is does just an excuse to bash him or what? Every boxing fan knows talent is thin on the ground at 160.

His best moments to date are all the Middleweights who refuses to sign a contract! Sergio came back to fight twice after his injuries but didn't take on the "other" champ (GGG), what does that tell you? GGG is the best at 160 for now regardless of who he fought.

As for Koval's signature win he fought a 49 yr old cherrypicker who lost every round by wide margins!!! If "signature" means non combative then yes, signature!

No. I just wanted to get an idea from people who've followed his career for longer, as to what they consider his best win so far. Granted, he doesn't have a signature win yet, but I want to know who everyone thinks is the best name on his resume.

I would make a case for Rubio as well, but it's been a long time since the Chavez and Lemieux fights - his shine had dropped since then. Don't be getting all defensive, GGG fans. I'm only askin'.

Daniel Geale is his best win, former unified world champ and #2 Ring ranked MW when Golovkin fought him.

Beating Geale > Quillin/old Martinez but he would've got more credit for the latter two because they're better known to the US media.

Geale didn't give him the best fight though, despite having the best credentials that was Ugandan Kassim Ouma.

It probably would have been if Rubio had actually turned up.

for me his best win is Geal.

[Easy Work.]

He honestly has no good wins. Not trying to bash him or anything but i think hes kind of a hype job. Only reason i think he looks so good is because he always faces poor opposition.

i think the second he steps in with someone floyds level he will get outboxed easliy

Oh yeah, I forgot I watched that one recently. I heard it was an all-out war, and I wasn't disappointed. Ouma really didn't give a toss who was in front of him, unlike every MW now.

Also, contrary to what others say, I think Stevens gave him a good fight as well - he caught him with some great shots and stepped right up in his face for some rounds.

On paper - Geale.
As a fighter its probably Rubio.

I think Adama is up there whilst lacking any noteworthy wins or anything hes an awkward operator.
