How can anyone rank GGG over Kovalev or Wlad?

[Hype job]

If you think Kovalev is better than GGG then you're a "hater".

That's what I got told today....

Most people on here (including me) rate Kovalev higher.

Kov hasn't beaten the #1 because the #1 is the lineal champ Adonis

DeGale is 29, 4 years younger than Golovkin. He beat Andre Dirrell, better than anyone on GGG's resume.

The majority of GGG's opponents are low quality fighters. Murray is a good fighter, that's about the only guy. GGG has a good resume for a fighter in his 20s. Not a guy with 400 amateur fights, 33 years old, 9 years as a pro and will be in pro boxing for a decade in June 2016. I think that when DeGale gets to the 10 year mark in his pro career, he will have a significantly better resume than Golovkin at 10 years.

Dirrel is better, why because you say he is?

Dirrel is a mental midget who hasn't beaten anyone at all.

How is it even possible? all 3 have only fought in 1 division but Wlad and Kovalev have beaten more world champions AND ALSO END FIGHTS VIA KNOCKOUT..Please help me understand how GGG can be ranked higher then either

This whole "pound for pound" thing is just so much bull**** anyway IMO.

Why do some people get so worked up about other people's hypothetical "ratings"?

Just agree to differ.

I admit it I'm a hater where as you think Froch isn't any better than Geale or Macklin which makes you a true boxing fan who knows the sport!

Froch is a caveman, a natural 168lb Geale's gives Froch absolute hell. You act like Froch is Marvin Hagker when he lost to a guy Calzaghe toyed with.

Froch isn't on that level where I just assume he wins. He was getting ass kicked by Jermaine Tayler, humiliated by Ward, struggled with a prospect Dirrel, got put on his ass by Groves, went to war with Groves the second time, couldn't put away an old Glen Johnson, and would have been Calzaghe's bytch had they fought.

Froch is good and I would favor him over Geale due to size but Froch ain't GGG and he ain't Cotto. He doesn't process half the skills they do.

But a natural and prime 168 Geale gives Froch hell and anyone who knows boxing knows that.

I don't even think I need to respond much to this ....I'll just let people read it and judge for themselves

Geale....the guy who got outfought and lost to Darren Barker....Froch's sparring partner

WRF does being a sparring partner have to do with anything. Porter was Pacquiao sparring partner does that make him less of a fighter.

If Froch is as good as you think then wouldn't that mean Barker gained valuable experience going into the fight.

You don't understand the sport and that's ok but there's no such thing as sure bet in boxing especially when taking about a limited fighter like Froch.

It's Darren Barker though.....

He beat Geale with the hips of an 80 year old man

Well if you do a p4p list based on who looks the most unbeatable then yeah I could easily see him being ranked over WK and Kov. He looks unstoppable at 160, kovalev looks beatable at 175 and Wlad can always get caught. Personally for me I see no reason as to why GGG should move up, he's comfortable fighting at 160 and he should remain there unless otherwise. If he wants to chase greatness and take the risk of moving up then yeah he should but no one should be pressured into fighting in a division that's not naturally there's.

But you'd be okay with Ward being on a P4P list though.
