He just dropped and beat the #2 guy in his division..what more do ya'll want?

yes, golovkin = provodnikov minus the hype

Don't get me wrong. Just because Jacobs won, well lost on the scorecards, doesn't mean GGG is basic. He's a good fighter.

What is mind-boggling is why is 3G who is just the equivalent of Provodnikov is asked to fight Andre SOG Ward number 2 P4P at 178? Provo only had to win a title against Mike Mile High Alvarado. Don't you think you people are the ones treating him like 3G is the equivalent of Ward?

provodnikov went to war with a top 5 pound for pound fighter in his prime

moved up to do so too

He's a good fighter. But without his power he wouldn't he nearly as touted as he is. His power is what makes him a must see.

Thats like saying Floyd without his reflex's would be basic

You're making my point. So the question is why then is 3G, a guy that is not even levels above Provo as you're saying here, is asked to fight Andre SOG Ward p4p #2 at 178?

Floyd without his reflexes would still be a pretty damn good fighter. We've seen him without them for the last 5 years or so. Even without reflexes, Floyd was a master boxer. That's why he's great afterall. There's been numerous boxers with great reflexes that have never sniffed Floyd's success.
