Again: Oscar's only fight at Middleweight before Hopkins was against Sturm in a controversial decision, at the end of his career.
He went 12 with Arias and Sulecki, so what? They were both undefeated, and Sulecki is clearly a good boxer. How are you going to brag about JDJ being 32-0 to almost all bums when Sulecki and Arias were both undefeated as well, and that Sulecki actually had a decent resume when he fought Jacobs?
Mora problems? He battered Sergio Mora, twice. He got knocked down once--- so what? He won both fights clearly. You're absolutely insane if you really think Oscar would have beaten Jacobs at middleweight, literally, nobody here would ever agree with you. Hell, he would have struggled hard against middleweights like Murray.

JDJ was 32-0... so?Have you taken a look at who he had beaten and their records? For ****'s sake, Curtis Stevens and Lemieux both had better opposition than JDJ if you compare when they fought Hopkins/Golovkin respectively, and it wasn't impressive at all. Bragging about JDJ being undefeated is like bragging about those Thai fighters with tons ofwins over so many bums, considering JDJ only fought gatekeepers/bums for like 31-32 of those first fights in his career.
I didn't say he would ever be anything like B-Hop. B-Hop is notable for his career onward.
All I'm saying is, as the topic states, Golovkin arguably had a middleweight career on par with Hopkins at 160 (whether slightly better or slightly worse).
