    So what is the argument? Yet GGG Resume is STILL not better than B-Hop

    That is not to disrespect GGG he is a excellent fight but I don't get exactly what argument GGG Fanatics and Abel Sanchez are trying to make by all of a sudden trying to discredit B-Hop Resume. That still doesn't make GGG Resume any better

      lil g isn't under anymore scrutiny than any other "p4p" fighter to prove themselves. He is
      of the few that doesn't have the confidence to prove us wrong.

        Second, how a triangle theory, create a leftover? So Erislandy Lara is Mayweather leftovers

        Holy ****! Just admit your mistake. Don't Big Javi yourself. (Javi still my dude tho)

          That middleweight era was rather thin, so my question is this. If he was doing this today, would you have pressured him to move up? Or would you support him in his goal to be undisputed middleweight champion?

          He stayed fighting as a middleweight til he was 40.
          Were you familiar with that middleweight division or did you just boxrec it? While there wasn't much in terms of names, the contenders of the time were real blue collar opponents. The Robert Allen from the first two Hopkins fights would be Golovkins best opponent right now. The ability level of those contenders was much higher, you could tell the guys had some skill, and talent. You don't see that when you watch Golovkins opponents. They are mostly garbage, outside of Martin Murray, who wouldn't even have been a top 10 guy most years in the 90s. To even try to equate Golovkins current lineup of scrubs to what was available during Hopkins middleweight days is laughable, and suggests you don't really have knowledge of that time frame.

            Mercado is the best fighter either beat between them.

            Still, both guys had garbage resumes at 34.

            Why does everyone assume GGG will be shot by 40?

              because everyone who doesn't take PEDs is shot by 40, and so are 95% of those who take them
