I think he's still very much prime and has 2-3 years left at the very top. Hopefully we get to see him define his legacy during this period. He isn't battle worn, not injury prone, still a fresh fighter and that's key in terms of elite longevity. Plus his lifestyle is all round positive, healthy, extremely disciplined, etc.Comment

He has a chance to define himself for the reasons you've named, but will the political orgs let it happen? The guy is a phenom, he's great to watch, but if great fights can't get made, even if it's not his fault, do we rank him with the best? Today's orgs and politics literrally make it impossible for great talents to reach the levels of their predessesors. Its a conundrum, but should we just rank on potential? There are just to many obstacles today. In one sense it helps fighters to get a belt, in the other it prevents them from fighting the best. Given his resume Golovking doesn't deserve to me mentioned with the greats. Given his skills I would put him in any era and expect him to be a force. Can he do it for several more years? Its not out of the realm of possibility. Certainly though the odds are against him.Comment
