It's still a solid win, but at the same time, I don't really think he has shown that he would mop the floor with Sergio Martinez. I understand the hype around Golovkin because he is utterly destroying guys on his way up, although even with him, he didn't look absolutely destructive against an old Ouma.
I dunno bud, if anyone is having a heavy dose of hype its Golovkin. Both warrant attention. I saw the N'Jikam win as impressive, six KD's are six KDs. Just as his destruction of Guerrero was last out. The same Guerrero who beat Rosado years ago. Golovkin was an established champion vs Rosado who was coming up in weight..and Rosado has been rocked and rolled before and after Golovkin who couldn't put him down. A 40 yr old Whitaker had him on queer street just prior. Love was very green in comparison and fights nothing like Golovkin. Rightfully so Rosado was his first major test and Rosado did as he should have done as a far more experienced guy. I don't see Quillin mopping the floor with Martinez, just as I'm not ready to say Golovkin beating up two jr middleweights brought in for showcases leads to him steamrolling even an old Martinez.
