GEE is Produced by HBO. (Series will be canceled in Sept.)

Thought it would be interesting to compare resumes to see how much harder GGG has worked in order to get quality opponents.
Also who did the failed ones choose to face?
I used Transnational Boxing Website Archives for all the rankings.

Since Sept 2012 Golovkin has fought 16 opponents.
(5) Not Ranked in top10 by TBRB. (6 if you count Vanes due to inactivity)
(3) have come up in weight.
GGG actively sought tougher opponents for every one of these lower ranked ones.
Golovkin was never ranked lower than #2 during this time.
Link in my signature if you'd like to find out more on why these fights fell through.

I could not find a single fight for Canelo that fell through. (other than GGG himself)

GGG was and still is avoided by most in his division!

[Nay_Sayer]

he a stiff cherry picking euro hype job doe, and lil g only fighting canelo cause he dont want dat work from charlo.

^This.

The only names of any consequence on Lil' G's resume are Jacobs and Alvarez - which speaks volumes for a guy pushing *37*.

I almost hope he beats Alvarez so I can have the pleasure of seeing him stripped by the WBC for ducking Charlo...

[Nay_Sayer]

If you have all the belts, it's really hard to face champions, isn't it?

Which champions did he beat for those belts?

Who did he beat for that WBA belt? Who did he beat for that WBC belt?

[Nay_Sayer]

When it comes to GGG's resumé, there's no apples to apples, just tomatoes to potatoes

With some duck sauce on the side.

Lol...

[Nay_Sayer]

According to ring magazine ratings GGG has fought more top 10 fighters than anyone in boxing right now Pacquia excluded. Canelo comes second and all the rest far behind

Until recently, 160 was arguably the ****tiest division in the sport. In fact, 160 was so bad that a former welterweight has been the lineal 160 champion since 2010...

[stealthradon]

Which champions did he beat for those belts?

Who did he beat for that WBA belt? Who did he beat for that WBC belt?

For the WBA super world he fought Geale
For the WBC Canelo vacated and fled.
For the WBA world Sturm got upgraded to Super World.

[Nay_Sayer]

Awarded because the champs would drop theyr belts instead of fighting him

Name one so-called champion who dropped their belt and refused to fight Bumlovkin...

[Nay_Sayer]

Yeah no matter which way you dice GGG's career, there is no doubt that he's hell for anyone.

Eh, no.

From what I saw of him in the Alvarez fight, there are tons of 160lb'ers from the past who would beat Bumlovkin rather easily. Jones, Hopkins, Toney, Nunn, McClellan and I could go on...

[Nay_Sayer]

GGG was and still is avoided by most in his division!

And Bumlovkin's trainer is on record openly ducking Charlo...
