GGG shouldn't be in the top 15 P4P

Gennady's resume is underwhelming obviously but he's clearly one of the 15 best fighters in the world. Easily.
He doesn't have any A grade victims (unless you count Brook, who is an A welter...but not an A middleweight), but the fallacy that all he fights is bums is a little ridiculous. Lemieux, Murray, Rubio, Geale, Stevens, Macklin, etc. are all solid B guys who are capable of beating anyone you put in front of them outside of the top shelf A guys. And 3G just straight up obliterated them.
Lemieux was 34-2 and was the IBF middleweight belt holder when Golovkin beat him. Murray was 29-1 and is a former WBA interim and WBC silver MW champion who has challenged for 4 world titles. Rubio was 59-6 and the WBC interim belt holder in 2014 and twice fought for unified MW world titles. Geale was 30-2 and is a former unified MW champion who held IBF, WBA, and and IBO titles. Stevens was 25-3 and was a former NABF middleweight champion who has challenged for the unified WBA & IBO middleweight titles. Macklin was 29-4 and has challenged 3 times for the MW world titles.
No these guys aren't P4P guys, but the notion that these dudes are bums is really pretty insane.Comment
