Why is Peter Quillin under-rate compared to GGG?

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

Maybe the dumbest statement ever.
Proska, Rosado, Ishida, Macklin, Stevens, Adama, Geale, Rubio, Murray and now Monroe. All wins by KO. Lost 1 round if you combine all the fights.

In the same period of time.
N'Dam, Guerrero, Rosado, Konecky and now Lee. Knocked out 1 of the 4. N'Dam won every round his weak ass chin held up. Rosado was giving him a working over until they stopped it. Lee is solid but how many GGG haters were calling him another tomato can when he was supposed to fight Golovkin last year.

there resumes are not that different and neither trumps the other

His top win is Rosado. That's one of Golovkin's worst opponents in the past few years.

None of your poll options were correct. Peter is not under rated. GGG is a much better fighter than Peter so he is rated much higher than Peter because he deserves to be rated much higher. It's as simple as that. It sure has nothing to do with culture.

Whats absolutely absurd of late is this notion that Lara would in some way be a threat to him or that him saying he is willing to go to 154 and fight floyd for millions means that he should fight Lara there for peanuts. Race driven derpage by the usual suspects, floydgimps.

What he said awhile back is that he was willing to fight the best from 154-168 lbs, of course Lara call him out and that was it, willing to fight the best is not always the best pay, a least money wise but the recognition that bring those fights will for sure fill your coffers later around...

IMO GGG resume is slightly better but if they ever face each other Peter will give GGG more problems than most here think

Cause the guy ducks, gives up his belt and highest ever pay day, and runs his mouth too much.....thats for starters

GGG was pretty much outboxed in his last bout, he only won it by sheer brute force. His opponent is not necessarily anyone that people expected to win but he was making GGG look like complete utter dookie. Everyone considers GGG as though he's great at his craft but that was exposed to be a lie that night.

Which brings me to my point.. Peter Quillin is a much better boxer and have a higher level at his craft. Quillin also has power in both hands, maybe not on GGG's level (check his gloves please) but he definitely can get you out of there. Quillin have more pop and skill than anyone GGG has faced so far. So why the hell is Quillen underestimated when he is clearly better skillwise?

Honest Opinions and answers. Excuse my title.. I-phone misspelled Under-rated.

cuz he's a duck...

Golovkin's career easily trumps Quillin's at this point. It isn't 2013 anymore.

Several reasons:

1. Quillin simply doesn't appear to be as good as a fighter as Golovkin. He seems fairly limited, but has very good power.

2. Quillin's own words. He's constantly said the exact things you NEVER want to hear from a fighter, like so and so needs to up his fan base while Quillin has been an undercard fighter, talks about certain opponents he'll only fight if it's PPV, etc.

3. Backlash from turning down fights. Prior to the HBO/Showtime/Haymon beef, Quillin was offered to fight GGG and he turned it down. Later he rejected a career high payday and dropped his own belt rather than fight his mandatory on Korobov. Some of this of course is out of Quillins hands, Haymon has his own plans for him surely, but none of that matters to fans. They see a "duck".

4. This is really part of 1, but there have been fights where he really under performed and perhaps even exposed. The Rosado fight was alarming to me because despite having early success, as the fight went on it was Rosado who was pushing Quillin BACK and overpowering Quillin! Red flags.
