    But he also has the worst loss, I think since Tyson-Douglas...30-1 odds for Ruiz!! lol...42-1 for Buster.

    Embarrassing loss...yet you still hype him up and revere him...that's just how you UK guys do.
    - -AJ KOed the Wlad U blow up boy ducked and AJ been defending his 4 belts.

    U blowups shamed when they ducked Wlad and AJ for each other. Fury with zero title defenses scared of his shadow?

    Just one ties him with Neon Leon...wow!!!!!

    His daddy cakes calling for him to retire before he melts again.

    What grade U in?

      Not fair to compare Golovkin to Wilder.

        Broner.

        Call me when either Golovkin or Wilder were called "the next Floyd Mayweather" like Broner was.

        Plus Wilder was never a hypejob because literally everyone knew how limited he was. His success was always more of a "holy **** how is he doing this when he sucks so bad" kind of success that people had fun with. If Golovkin is a hypejob, then that takes away from Alvarez, who had two very close fights that lots of people had him losing. Shouldn't we be acknowledging instead that Golovkin is a very good fighter that Alvarez managed to beat?

            Probably GGG.
            Wilder wasn't billed as anything but a puncher fans were legit claiming GGG would destroy a prime McCallum, Roy Jones Jr, B-Hop, Monzon, claiming he was the greatest MW ever etc

            And Wilder at least beat Ortiz in decisive fashion. I genuinely thought Jacobs and Derevchenko both beat GGG.

            GGG is a better boxer/fighter but he was way, way more overhyped than Wilder

              Okay, imagine if GGG and Wilder both had average power for their respective weight classes. GGG still has enough to win a World title whereas Wilder becomes a journeyman.

              Wider only wins a round against a quality opponent if he scores a knockdown or a knockout - that's the difference.

                I seem to remember Ricky Hatton getting embarrassed by Mayweather, Pacquao and then getting KTFO in a tune up against Senchenko

                    GGG by far. Wilder wasn't hyped near as much.

                      What's so bad about getting beaten by Mayweather and Pacquaio?

                      Beat the #1 and Lineal Champion at 140 and P4P Top 5 and also beat a very good Collazo to win the WBC at 147.

                      Not even close to the biggest hype job. Plus Hatton's career was longer than 10 years ago anyway
