Golovkin is.

Yup and its not even close.

If both retire now, who's career would you rather have?
Who would rank higher all time in their division?
Who's style was harder to overcome?

Golovkin is the correct answer for at least 2 of these questions if we being real.

Good looking. I love reading about old fighters. They lived crazy lives and seem so much tougher than people today. Boxing has the wildest characters of any sport.

same here...and boxing in those days had 10 times the fukkery than today...shyt was more in line with human cockfighting...15-20 rounds...those boxers literally had to fight to eat..fight to live...im in awe of the number of pro fights most of them had..in those days you get into a war with somebody and it wasnt settled...you schedule a rematch 3-5 weeks later..shyt was no joke to be a boxer

Why?

Jacobs just signed to HBO and Andrade just signed to HBO.
Also both are in the same division now and seems like HBO has long term plans with 160.

So why wouldn't it happen?

He's not one of the guys he went over to hbo for.

Edit no shade on him as a fighter but nikkas is chasing $$ and greatness. He doesnt bring either yet.

Is 160 currently the most talented and loaded division?

Nah there are better divisions than 160..but like HW..they are in a state of rebuild

Sandy Saddler was the original George foreman at fw. Same exact style. I think dikk saddler was his uncle who was one foreman trainers. Thats a lost style where you reached out and controlled your opponents arms with the cross arm defense too.

i used to know a guy who was trained by archie moore.

he used to bring his son to the gym. good guy.

Pretty much how I feel, I have to actually see Andrade show up for a big fight before I actually believe it. This move to 160 don't really mean shyt right now.

Kovalev is a better boxer than GGG... its not even close. Think people are getting too carried away now discrediting Kovalev because Ward stopped him, thing we seem to forget is that Ward is special and when you come across a fighter like him you're gonna catch an L whether you like it or not. Even so, he gave Ward problems in the first fight and was pretty much outboxing him at times.

Both Kovalev and GGG have had the same career up until now, they were both 'THE MAN' in their divisions and they were both pretty much stopping everybody that was brave enough to fight them. Difference is, Kovalev was unlucky that an ATG FIRST BALLOT HOFer came up as the next challenger (the same guy that GGG ducked ) . Meanwhile, GGG has ran into Danny Jacobs and Canelo... a gassed fighter manages to get a draw against you while you're going all out for your 'Big Drama Show'

If we're being real, Ward needed a rematch to truly beat Kovalev (I thought he easily won the first but whatever). Put GGG in Kovalev's place and Ward wouldn't need a rematch

You typed a whole lot of bullshyt and bias, so I won't even bother to entertain this.
