Why is Peter Quillin under-rate compared to GGG?

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.

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

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.

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.
