It's been proven time and time again more people will pay to see Floyd fight than any other fighter on the planet.

I picked Floyd, Cotto, Froch and Ward.

It looks like Golovkin got more votes than Chavez, Hopkins, Ward and Floyd together :)

Why wouldn't he?I have never once seen a poster say he wasn't fun to watch.
Just because a bunch of us on here think that he has not earned the #1 spot in the sport.
Does not mean that we do not enjoy watching him.He is fun too watch.Very action packed and explosive.
I wish the guy nothing but the best.I just want to see him fight an A fighter.He is still one of my favorites.

He's definitely fun to watch but the real excitement will come when he fights someone who can force him on the back foot, rock him or even just hurt him. Not sure if anyone in the MW division is capable of this though.

There is no one at MW who can hurt him. He possess a chin of iron. The only guy I give a chance of denting his armour if he is still at the weight in another 2 or 3 years time is Ryota Murata.

This is hardcore fans not casual,

I chose Manny (such an entertaining style mixed with brilliance)
Cotto (powerful, vulnerable)
Froch (warrior)
Golovkin (interesting to see how good he actually is)
