Did GGG beat better MIDDLEWEIGHTS than B-Hop.

[Curt Henning]

Personally I don't want to tether his name to Hopkins or anyone else but this is a boxing discussion forum and comparisons are the meat and potatoes of fans discussions. Hopkins is a natural guy to bring up because they share a record for title defenses and Hopkins is a relatively current fighter.

golovkin fans bring up hopkins because of the defense record....plain and simple...and they somehow think that golovkin should be held in the same breath as hopkins because of it....which is usually the point they are trying to make or raise...i explained why that is nonsense

No we’re not counting a guy who spent 9 years of his career at 147. Tito was a welterweight who moved up.

Tito was an undefeated middleweight champion when Hopkins fought him. Choosing not to count him as a real middleweight is ret@rded.

The thread is about the Middleweight division and the quality of the opponents. It's a fair question.

GGG got a gift over Derevyanchenko, he barely won against Jacobs but the knockdown 10-8 round really helped.

The rest is basically Sergio left overs.

He has a slight advantage over Hopkins but I wouldnt be bragging about it. Also dont see OP's point of excluding a 160lb Trinidad. A 160lb trinidad breezes through 90% of GGG's resume and only has a fight with the what the top 5 at most of GGGs 42 fights.

So which middleweights did B-Hop beat who were better than Jacobs?

Another guy who’s got all defensive and missed the point.

Tito moving up was better then Jacob's. Jacob always falls apart in his biggest fights. Although I don't actually count that Jacob's win for golovkin as a straight win. Jacob's could have easily been awarded the nod so U are telling me about a Jacob's win that very well could have been a loss for golovkin, But yet u want to tell me about golovkin wins vs Hopkins at middleweight? Golovkin lost to a 154 pounder that had no real experince fighting at 160....do u really think canelo moving up to middleweight to fight Hopkins wouldn't get seriously hurt? U can't talk to me about middleweight Hopkins vs golovkin when golovkin lost to somone moving up to his natrual weight. It's a joke......

I love the fighting leftovers argument. Almost everyone at some point is someone else's leftover, unless you fight guys who haven't fought at the top stage, to which you will cry that so and so is undefeated because they haven't fought anybody.

LMAO! He’d had 1 fight at Middleweight and only 4 fights above 147 and his one fight at 160 was against Joppy.

He was a WELTERWEIGHT!

He’s still missing the point.

Did your parents not buy you presents at Christmas? Cause you clearly don’t know what a ‘gift’ is.

When did Sergio beat Jacobs, Lemieux, Geale and Rubio? I must have missed those fights.

Finally another guy who can read!

So many people missing the point.
