As I rated Saul Alvarez a B+, I'd have to say Gennady Golovkin isn't far behind. I rated GGG a B. If he can unify all the belts in his next two fights he will move up to a B+. Needs to challenge himself at higher weightclasses if he wants to reach A-class.

I rated him an A but that might be too generous of a rating. I'm a GGG fan but I don't like the way he gets hit so often. His beard might be A+...maybe, but even the best chin can get cracked.
He had better tread very carefully in his fight with Jacobs. If he can withstand bombs from Jacob then his chin must be something extraordinary. I'd rather see him avoid those bombs though because he's way too old to be getting hit from hard punchers. That takes a big toll on fighters and he doesn't need anymore wear and tear to hasten the natural decline of a fighter who is entering his late 30's.

March 18 is the answer!
Good question.
I will withhold my rating until after the Jacobs fight. For all i know Golovkin could an elite ATG, he certainly looks it. Won't truely know until he faces an elite level of competition.
He has fought many solid contenders and KO's them all, without any close fights and not losing more than 2 rounds.
Jacobs, being the #1 contender at his weight is the measuring stick we've all been waiting for.
For me, assuming Golovkin wins, it's all about HOW he wins, not if he wins.
