Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter: GGG Will Prove He's 'P4P 1' With Canelo Win

[millcitymauler]

A golovkin ko of Canelo would most certainly put him at p4p #1 in my eyes anything less than that and I still have Crawford at #1 but he will get pushed back until he gets Spence in the ring.

Please explain how Crawford’s level of opposition warrants a #1 PxP ranking. I’m a huge Bud fan, but he hasn’t beaten anybody except for the incredible underachieving Gamboa.

Postol was a good win. Nothing Great though. Currently My list is

#1 Loma
2 Bud
3. GGG
4. Pednelo
5. Spence

Canelo is a "big name" in boxing, but he does not have a title @ 160 and he does not have a title @ 154. I don't think stopping Canelo makes GGG P4P #1. I think stopping Linares @ 135, was a bigger deal for Loma, because Loma was the guy moving up after winning @ 126, and 130! Same w/ Crawford, winning @ 130 and 135, moving up to win all 4 belts @ 140, and then moving up to win a title @ 147! Same w/ Mikey, winning @ 126 and 130, moving up to win @ 135, then up again to win a title @ 140! I can't put GGG over Loma, Crawford, and Mikey!

Huge GGG fan BUT I can't argue here and tend to agree.

Except compete in multiple weight classes and become a unified champion in 2 of them. Ggg is fighting a guy who is only fighting for the third time at 160.

Golovkin only fought little guys(except Jacob a good and big 160)....Brook, Canelo, Martirosyan. GGG should have jumping weigh for a long time ago. For me he not deserve number 1 spot P4P if he win the rematch

P4P? What nonsense. It is an imaginary ranking that can never be substantiated. Most people cannot agree on the best fighter in a specific weight class let alone P4P. Think of it this way: What if Joe Frazier had retired in April of 1971. Yup. Joe beats Ali, and then a few weeks later, Joe retires for good. Now I love Joe and always have, but would I rank him the number one heavyweight of all time even if he had retired undefeated in April of '71. Two guesses. (this is presuming that you believe Ali in number 1 all time heavyweight)

Good list...Personally, I would have GGG and Canelo ahead of Crawford at this point. Bud needs a signature win to crack the top 3 in my opinion. If AJ stops Povetkin, he also has a legit claim to the top 5, even though I think Wilder gets in his azz when that fight finally comes off.

Your probably right?? But there's no denying Bud's got skills

Most can agree on the top 5. Just the order is where the arguments start.

Canelo's resume blows all there's away. Canelo has fought future HOFamers and P4Pers multiple times.

Name some!!! Some young fighters hes fought that r P4Pers and future hall of famers.
