He's not number one, that's Martinez. Quillin is improved and frankly all the jibber jabber after the Rosado fight was off the mark I think. Quillin beat his ass fair and square and that was nothing similar to effective aggression by Rosado. What it was was a lot of wasted sizzle and little fire and walking into a perfect counter shot for the cut. Golovkin is in a perfect position to be the shot caller and well earned but lets not get carried away like he has faced a murderers row. I don't see anyone ducking each other. Politics and posturing right now but hopefully they'll get it on. Stevens needs to get back in line, Brinkley boxes your ears, Quillin can solve his one gear sure enough.

I like Quillan but his best bet is to make a number of defences and make some money before he loses against the best in the weight. He is not a top class fighter but who knows after a couple of years when Sergio retires and maybe GGG moves/gets exposed he will become the number 1 at the weight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Quillin is basisDanny Jacobs would beat him easy

What the hell happened to Dmitry Pirog? He looked like a freaking tank in his dismantling of a really good fighter in Daniel Jacobs and has since gone off the radar. I know he picked up a trinket, but is he relevant here? He's an undefeated big Russian, 2014 very well could be the year of the Russian in boxing (2013 probably was), where is he in all this? Off topic I know.
Quillin is a very good fighter and has beben a lot better than I expected him to be after the early hype in his career based off a couple squashes on FNF. Still, not sure you can elevate him to the status Martinez has and that Golovkin gained last year. Golovkin may have done it on pure style points, but it was impressive nonetheless. I think Quillin gets a little too much flack for his performance against Rosado, he boxed beautifully but doesn't have the physical strength to keep someone like Rosado off. Don't think he will be in good shape against a guy with a thudding jab like Golovkin though. Don't think he has anything to keep GGG off much less win rounds against him. Martinez he could beat though, especially if Martinez can't return to his previous form. Just don't think those legs will ever have the same spring for Martinez, unfortunately.
