    Is Donaire a MORE PROVEN fighter than Golovkin?

    Dared 4 weight classes. Held a Lineal. Went back down in weight to attempt his known best weight to then lost to a real deal P4P in Inoue.

    I’d say Donaire took more risks and a more proven fighter.

    I think “proven” should refer to risks taken and accomplished.

        SRL was great. Golovkin was a nobody. That win basically means nothing.

              Golovkin has no Darchinyan-level caliber fighter in his resumč.

                Only an idiot GGG hater like you would say Donaire is a more proven fighter.First of all GGG never said that 154-168 was easy. His trainer Sanchez said that. He did not say that. There is a big difference there. GGG is a humble boxer not an arrogant bragger like your hero Canelo. Hey dummy. Donaire has 6 losses. That is not risks taken and accomplished. That is risked taken and failed and losing fights does not make a boxer more proven. GGG has only one loss than most neutral viewers think he won. Instead of bouncing around from weight class to weight class fighting the weaker champions GGG stayed champion at middleweight and fought all comers. He avoided no boxer for 20 successful title defenses before his highly debatable boxing home town split decision loss to Canelo by one point. Middleweight is the traditional weight class with the prestige and the history and the best fighters. If a boxer can be the middleweight champion and defend it 20 times ducking nobody and KO 23 fighters in a row he is damn sure proven. How many successful title defenses did Donaire have? Not 20 for damn sure.How about punching power? Did Donaire ever KO 23 guys in a row? Did he ever KO 5 guys in a row? GGG and Donaire are both 38 and at the end of their careers and GGG still has almost 90 percent of his fights won by KO compared to Donaire winning 56 percent of his fights by KO. How about chin? GGG has never been knocked down or hurt much while Donaire has been knocked down numerous times and knocked out. Go to any of the respected p4p top 10 best lists and GGG IS on those lists and Donaire is NOT on those lists. You always make a big ***ing deal out of GGG staying at middleweight as if that somehow makes him less of a fighter. Yet Hagler and Monzon fought at 160 their entire career and Hopkins fought at 160 until he was 41 years old and all three of them are considered great fighters by just about everybody so why can't GGG do the same without you trashing the hell out of him in threads like this one every damn day? Donaire is an excellent fighter for sure. But a better and more proven fighter than GGG? Shove that BS up your ass.

                  Donaire is way more proven and has that clutch gene which GG has none of.

                  Donaire is so much more exciting too. GG is boring to me always straight up and down with no special effects.

                  One time I was watching GG fight with several females in the room and they said ewww who is that fugly guy lol
