[POLL] Who Has Faced The Softest Competition Overall?

[soul_survivor]

All three of these men are ranked in the top 5 pound-for-pound by Ring Magazine and are very highly thought of but who has faced the weakest competition in their whole careers?

Notice I have used their entire careers to give a fairer reflection unlike some other polls which are going around where the feminine thread starters have used a select period of time and blocked people from the thread to slant opinion in their favour.

I was under the impression that to be a top P4P fighter, you have to have proved yourself at least once against top level opposition. From what I can tell, only 2 of the 3 fighters listed have done that.

What's your opinion?

lol what a **** move...I guess you like trolling GGG fans?

Yes we have to take into account that they've recently lost and lost quite badly into account. How do you not get that? Losing affects your standing. Am I speaking a foreign language here?

This right here.

Guys like Pac rated no.1 with three losses in their last six is absurd, or simply it shows lack of depth within said division. Same applies with GGG here, their is a considerable lack of depth within his division, ok Geale versus Lemiuex would be competitive fights and likely highly entertaining but both have been shown to be fairly limited way before they faced GGG.

GGG hasnt a win to date which gives him p4p top 7 recognition IMO, and clearly their is not an opponent at middle who presents a challenge, whereby certainly not ensuring p4p credibility any higher than 7-8 in the current ratings.

I'm a huge fan and follower of Geale, I've enjoyed following and watching Lemieux's career also. Golovkin too, I ave not missed a GGG fight since 2011, I watched him on K2 cards before he even began to break into the American market I'm just not sold on this ridiculous hype the Floyd hating fans have attached to him, I'm certain these guys who shout for him aren't even that big as fans of him as myself personally, they just wanted to attach themselves to him in their desperation to see him as a potential opponent to defeat Floyd whilst he was still active.

What is unfair about the question?

There's already a poll on NSB which carefully selects the time period to suit an agenda. You can go vote on that.

I've used their whole careers.

What's the agenda? Unless you're saying that P4P rankings should be based on their whole careers w/o particular emphasis on recent history? In which case, you'd have to have Hopkins and RJJ on your P4P list.

Yes if you don't account for losses which would be ******ed.

And I can't even remember why P4P rankings suddenly became the crux of the discussion.

The question is who has faced the weakest competition in their careers. Go....

[IMDAZED]

It's common practice. Even if it's not 1 year, it's sure as hell not their whole careers. If you were actually going to act like that, let's all just put Pacquiao at #1 right now followed by RJJ and Hopkins.

I get you're trying to troll here but have some integrity at least.

What you're asking and what you're trying to imply are 2 completely different things.

These clowns will say anything. Good Lord.

I voted Ward has fought the weakest opposition of the three boxers. In the earlier part of his career during the super six tournament Ward faced very strong opposition. For the last 3 and a half years Ward has either not fought at all or fought very weak opposition.

That wasn't the question. This is just your way of avoiding the fact that Golovkin has faced the weakest competition of the three by far.

Weird, right? Seeing as he's the oldest of the three, isn't he?

That's troubling.

Well, you know exactly what I mean. You have to take into account the time span (Wards last impressive win against an impressive opponent was almost 4 years ago, if you count Dawson, slightly less). His most recent wins have been laborious with regards to Rodriguez and Smith and he once again is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Whereas in recent years (the last 12-18 months), GGG has beaten one former champion and at least 2 former world title challengers who could both be argued as having won the WBA belt.

But hey, I'll leave you to it.
