There is clear reason to believe Golovkin MW career is better than Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins career defining win at middleweight is clearly Trinidad a guy who only competed in that division 5 times and his record in that division was poor 3-2 the opposition at 160 Felix beat were very questionable at best plus he only moved up to 160 because that's where the money was at.
So in my opinion this fight can be compared to Golovkin win over Brook, Brook and Trinidad two guys who wanted to make a statement fighting a bigger guy in a division which they shouldn't have been going to.
Brook a more natural 154lber as was Trinidad, so why does B-hop get a pass and why does this suddenly become an outstanding career defining win for Hopkins, yet you all cry about Golovkin doing the exact god damn same thing
There can be absolutely no doubt about it a win over Jacobs trumps Felix Trinidad, you can't just expect to go 3-2 in the MW division and say "okay that's it, Trinidad is the greatest win for Hopkins" IF you are saying that which a lot of people are then you clearly are more of a less saying his resume in that division isn't that good.
The same can then again be said about his win over ODLH that was another freak show fight that should have never happened in the first place since ODLH lost his tune-up fight prior to that one that and look at his MW record, it's trash! 1-1 but it really should be 0-2.
The manner you hold your career in does help, Golovkin is close to breaking Bhops record with by far more KOes, fighting in a more pleasing manner, and with pretty decent wins in the mix.
So, yeah, the whole fake hysteria about this really is a bit of joke.
