      That will be a great time for the new WW divison.
      The aftermath of Mayweather and Wlad retiring will be a great time for the sport in terms of contenders fighting each other.

        Krusher is the most impressive from that list imo....the rest are cool but Krusher is the one making the most noise atm....he walked through BHop and Pascal without really breaking a sweat....he's a BEAST!!!

          What Kovalev did against Hopkins and Pascal is far beyond Golovkin. Both the quality of the opponents and his abilities while beating them.
          Kovalev resume is above Glovkin's, that's pretty obvious. You say people put Golovkin ahead of Kovalev in P4P lists? That's strange.
          Also as for their abilities, it's kinda similar. Kovalev is a little rangier, better at keep the distance, but his chin seems to be more questionable than Golovkins. Skillwise they're pretty similar I mean they're on the same level but P4P lists are about resume not eye tests and opinion about fighters' skills. So Kovalev is ahead of Golovkin in P4P lists. tbh based on the resumes I only out Kovalev in P4P top 10 out of them.
          My top 10 is: Mayweather, Rigo, Pac, Bradley, Froch, Klitschko, Canelo, Crawford, Kovalev, Roman Gonzalez. In NO order. GGG, Thurman, Stevenson, Danny Garcia and Cotto follow them 10-15 also in no order.
          Mikey Garcia would be in the top 15 but currently heis out due to inactivity and Ward would be in the top 5 but currently he is out also because inactivity.

            Kovalev is the best, the most impressive, most skilled AND entertaining.

              Out of those? Golovkin. Easily.

                Kovalev.
                I think he's the most exiting boxer right now and I agree with the rest, he should be higher ranked then golovkin on the p4p list.

                  Most Impressive imo (in order):
                  1. Sergey Kovalev
                  2. Chocolatito Gonzalez
                  3. GGG
                  4. Thurman

                  To me GGG and Chocolatito are interchangeable. Chocolatito has the better resume, but idk unlike most people GGG actually keeps impressing me more. I re-watched the Monroe fight a few of times and GGG looked better after every watch to me.

                    After GGG's last performance, he's definitely gone down...

                    Kovalev
                    Roman
                    GGG
                    Thurman

                      All of them are impressive to me, but Thurman does'nt belong in the same sentence as Kov, GGG or Gonzalez, at least not yet. That said I think Gonzalez has the most upside, but as far as how he has looked versus the level of competition, I think I have to give the nod to Kov.
