How do you put Beterbiev in front of Triple G if you're speaking resumes? I know Golovkin doesn't have a great resume but neither does Beterbiev1. Kovalev-Dominated Hopkins, Pascal x2, Campillo, Chilemba, went toe to toe with the #1 P4P fighter in the sport even though he lost.
2. Loma-Tactical master, not too impressed with his resume but his skills are p4p quality.
3. Beterbiev-Terrifying power, ready for a title shot against anybody, he's blasted guys out with utter ease.
Does anything even really matter outside the top 3?Comment

No mentions of Gassiev who defeated the man in cruiserweights, Lebedev whos an old experienced veteran, Usyk who got elite scalp in Glowacki, but Al Haymon's bodyguard Beterbiev is in your poll, no valuable scalps, he still fighting farmers from Argentina, Gvozdyk is way more proven at this point but he wasnt even mentioned. Golovkin is not "eastern euro". Stop using that term, I don't see romanians, bulgarians or hungarians being relevant in the sport. You'd call some asian guy from Uzbekistan eastern euro tooComment

You familiar with the use of that word? It means he was able to give and take with a top 5 P4P fighter. He got a loss, but he still gave him a very close fight. It doesn't mean "hanging on" if that confused you somehow.
Or, are you like these Golovkin soldiers that freak out on me if I say he's a "very good" fighter instead of a "great" one? Don't get hung up on semantics.Comment

I did leave a choice for "Other" so that people could add any names that they feel belong on the list.No mentions of Gassiev who defeated the man in cruiserweights, Lebedev whos an old experienced veteran, Usyk who got elite scalp in Glowacki, but Al Haymon's bodyguard Beterbiev is in your poll, no valuable scalps, he still fighting farmers from Argentina, Gvozdyk is way more proven at this point but he wasnt even mentioned.

Golovkin learned to box under the Soviet boxing school. So maybe instead of Eastern Euro I should have said Eastern Bloc to be more accurate.Comment
"hang with a top 5 p4p fighter" he beat him in most people's eyes :blow:
