Golovkin officially surpasses Ward as ESPN's #1 Pound for Pound

[original zero]

Ward is number one in Ring's list. No big deal,

Golden Boy owns the Ring, therefore, the Ring is meaningless.

OF COURSE the Ring isn't going to have GGG #1. Why would Golden Boy want to give him any negotiating leverage?

its either GGG or Kovalev. Kovalev has the best claim.

Well obviously, a win over Danny Jacobs is a lot better than wins over: Mikkel Kessler, Carl Froch and Sergey Kovalev.

Those fights well all many many years ago, he came back after all his court cases and had Kovalev whoop his ass. Also the Kessler thing doesn't even count. A dirty cut stoppage.
