I'll take reality over belief (delusion).

Billy Joe would get slaughtered by Golovkin too. That's Jr's best and only world-class opponent, however, he hadn't proven to be world-class when he beat Jr.

I just don't get this Jr hype. Is it the badman face expressions? I'm pretty sure if he was called Joe Soap nobody would be touting him as a future champ. He'd just be a tough, tear-up merchant with potential.
