Image: Roman Gonzalez surpasses Golovkin in P4P pollBy Dan Ambrose: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) not only has been passed up by WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward in Ring Magazine’s official pound-for-pound ratings, but he’s also been beaten out by Roman Gonzalez (43-0, 37 KOs) in a poll conducted by the website. Golovkin is at No.2 in the poll with 25.70 percent of the votes compared to Gonzalez’s 56.44 percent.

Golovkin’s rating at No.2 is obviously a product of his lack of quality opposition he’s been facing. The boxing fans want to see Golovkin step up and face quality opposition. The fans are partly getting their wish with Golovkin’s fight against IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux next month on 10/17.
