Who do you rate more? Golovkin or Kovalev?

Really unfair poll you not only have the Kovalev fans voting for Sergey but also the Ward fans, the Floyd fans, the Cotto fans, and the Canelo fans all voting against GGG.

i dont rate none of them russhian ass dudes they still green i mean look at mr 164 as they call him,he wont even fight ward and kovlavlves best win is a tenant at a sr citizens home i mean wtf

[Raonic]

Kovalev\s win over Hopkins is the reason he's higher, though GGG beats Hopkins pretty easily if they had fought.

As of right now I have to go with Kovalev being that he has cleared out his division aside from Stevenson and possibly Artur in the future. Though in time should Golovkin unify 160 which I think is really possible than I'd say they are even. I think Golovkin has a higher ceiling in that he could potentially compete at 168 in some winnable fights thus making him higher rated

[Suckmedry]

I rate both very highly- they do some similar things well and some different things well.

But overall its Kovalev now, for his wins over Hop and Pascal.

Maybe because everyone except die hard GGG fans can see that Kovalev is obviously rated higher?

I think most people on this forum are more comfortable rating Kovalev high right now based on his competition over the last 2 years as well as less hype to distort reality in his case. GGG is having a lot of backlash due to hype right now so people are not judging him clearly.

I think it is fair to rate Kovalev higher based on competition at the moment, but I genuinely think GGG will prove to be the superior fighter between the two. People are acknowledging already that Kovalev may be the best 175 pound fighter of all time, and I don't think that is too far off. GGG I believe will also prove to be one of the best at 160 ever, and that is a more impressive feat. Once he has some larger names on his resume, and people forget about insignificant hype and posturing, his quality will be more readily apparent to the unwashed masses.

Golovkin is a lot better technically. Take away the ancient Hopkins and their resumes are about the same. I think Golovkin is more willing to unify as well.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I say Golovkin, only because of more experience. Basically, they both have impressed me greatly and are carrying the sport for now.

Neither has had any truly noteworthy wins but at least Kovalev is up for facing top guys. Genady seems to be a bottom feeder and if he is better than Kovalev, we won't know it because he fights B and C level guys.
