Great and legit post, fact... But Duran was an ATG, Leonard was an ATG! Let's see Golovkin fight Pacquiao then, he's an ATG!
Duran was fat and older, started at 118, when he fought Hagler, took him the distance and was ahead after the 13th round...
Leonard was unranked and not even rated anymore, since he was inactive and coming from a long layoff for a career threatening eye injury, when he fought Hagler, and he edged him out on points...
Hearns was a good win, no doubt, but even with his huge frame, Hearns was a very fragile and weak chinned boxer outside of 147 and 154...
And this is only Hagler, who like Hopkins, had a piss weak 160 division so he had to get signature wins on ex-welterweights...
Hopkins is even worse in my opinion, Hagler like Golovkin was a small MW, but Bhop was a natural LHW who started to cut weight after he got beat at that weight... Once again his signature wins were WWs, and although Trinidad was legit and proved himself a little over 147, DLH took a dive and was coming off of a beatdown from Felix Sturm, one of the worst robberies i can remember...
No one is saying that Brook vs GGG is an incredible fight, it wasn't in the plans, but ****ting all over it, and on Golovkin, is extremely ******ed, we have two undefeated p4p boxers going at it, arguably the best in their respective divisions, WWs vs MWs always happened in boxing history... Accept it for what it is and let's hope that it generates enough money and exposure, so that Golovkin can get better and bigger fights...
